Bailee HeplerBailee Hepler
Bride
Bailee is the heart of the Mustang family—a dedicated history and civics teacher who somehow finds the energy to coach both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams and still cheer on her students in everything they do. Her love for her school and her players runs deep, and it’s impossible not to feel her energy and passion wherever she goes. A lifelong sports fan, Bailee bleeds Duke blue—whether it’s football or basketball season, you can bet she’s cheering loudly (and probably pacing). When she’s not in the gym or the classroom, you’ll likely find her with a Dr. Pepper in hand, ready to talk game stats or swap stories from the court. Her drive, heart, and sense of humor make her one of a kind—and it’s no surprise that everyone who knows her can’t help but root for her, both on and off the court.
Dalton HeglarDalton Heglar
Groom
Dalton, or Duck as he is called by the flower girl and ring bearer, is the definition of dependable, funny, and endlessly kind—the kind of guy who makes sure everyone around him is taken care of, especially Bailee. A true sports fanatic, he proudly cheers for his UNC Tar Heels, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Cubs, and Houston Rockets (often all in the same weekend). When he’s not working, you can find him on the golf course, perfecting his swing, or outside making sure the yard—and the cars—are spotless. He’s got a serious sweet tooth and never misses the chance to find a dessert after dinner. Whether he’s cracking a joke, teeing off at sunrise, or cheering on his teams, Dalton brings warmth, humor, and heart to everything he does.
Kasee SantiagoKasee Santiago
Matron of Honor
Kasee isn’t just Bailee’s big sister—she’s her built-in best friend, bonus parent, and #1 fan since day one. From childhood adventures to adult heart-to-hearts, Kasee has always been the steady, loving presence in Bailee’s life. She’s the one who offered advice before Bailee even knew she needed it, cheered the loudest at every milestone, and has been both a protector and partner-in-laughter over the years. Now, she’s trading in her mom-voice for a matron of honor speech—and we can’t wait to see her shine (and maybe cry... just a little)!
Max HeglarMax Heglar
Best Man
Dalton’s younger brother, Max, may be seven years his junior, but the two have always been inseparable. What started as a classic big-brother–little-brother dynamic (with Max doing plenty of snitching) has evolved into a friendship built on inside jokes, shared alibis, and endless laughs. The youngest member of the bridal party—but probably the tallest—Max is always up for Wingstop runs, long basketball debates, and marathon meme-sharing sessions. He’s looked up to Dalton his whole life, and now Dalton couldn’t imagine anyone else standing by his side as his best man.
Reaghan MooreReaghan Moore
Maid of Honor
Reaghan and Bailee go way back to high school, where a volleyball court brought them together, chorus made them closer, and the rest is history. These two have been inseparable ever since—Reaghan is the one getting them into trouble, and Bailee’s usually the one getting them out of it (with a laugh along the way). Whether it's spontaneous road trips, late-night singalongs, or just being each other's ride-or-die, Reaghan has been by Bailee’s side through it all—and now she’s standing beside her on the biggest day of her life!
Jaydon HopperJaydon Hopper
Groomsman
Jaydon and Dalton have been best friends since sixth grade—the kind of friendship that’s seen it all. Jaydon’s usually the one getting them into trouble, and Dalton’s the one finding a way out, a balance that’s kept their friendship strong (and entertaining) for years. He’s been more like a brother than a friend, even sitting through a few of the famous “Heglar house lectures” along the way. Every Saturday, you can count on the two of them glued to college football, living out their long-running bromance one game at a time.
Maddie AllenMaddie Allen
Bridesmaid
Maddie has been a part of Bailee’s life since 2006, when their families became neighbors and fast friends. From childhood sleepovers to family vacations, these two have shared countless memories and adventures. While Maddie might be the little sister Bailee never had, their bond is stronger than ever. With her laughter, endless support, and ability to brighten any room, Maddie has been there for Bailee through thick and thin. Now, she’s standing by her side as a bridesmaid, ready to celebrate the start of this amazing new chapter. Truly, they’re more like family—because, well, they are family!
Logan BradleyLogan Bradley
Groomsman
Dalton and Logan have been neighbors since 2008, and over the years, Logan has become like another little brother to him. The two can always be found golfing, watching football, or talking a little too much smack during UNC and Clemson games. Whether they’re competing on the course or catching up on life, their friendship has always been built on laughter, loyalty, and plenty of good-natured rivalry.
Cassidy AllenCassidy Allen
Bridesmaid
Bailee and Cassidy have been inseparable since their families became neighbors back in 2006. From carpooling to school and sharing lunches to countless “friemly” vacations, football games, and even getting blamed for Maddie’s dramatic tears—they’ve been through it all together. There’s never been a time when Bailee didn’t have Cass by her side, and no matter how much time passes, they always pick up right where they left off. She’s always been more than a friend—she’s family. Life is brighter, warmer, and so much happier with Cass in it.
Jordan KingJordan King
Groomsman
Dalton and Jordan have been best friends since elementary school. Jordan has always been the calm to the rest of the boys’ chaos—the steady voice of reason when things get a little wild. The two can talk baseball for hours and agree on just about everything… except when the Red Sox play the Cubs. Even if months pass between hangouts, they pick up right where they left off every time. Their friendship has stood the test of time, built on loyalty, laughter, and plenty of baseball banter.
Sydney WilsonSydney Wilson
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Bailee met at Catawba during Bailee’s senior year and Sydney’s sophomore year in a science class. They instantly hit it off and quickly discovered just how many connections they shared—including the funny coincidence that their boyfriends at the time had gone to school together since middle school! Since then, they’ve found countless little ways their lives have overlapped, making it clear they were always meant to find each other. A fellow Swiftie and forever friend, Syd brings joy, laughter, and a little sparkle to every moment. Even though Greensboro might have taken her away for now, the bond between these two is one that time or distance could never change.
Victor FowlerVictor Fowler
Groomsman
Dalton and Victor have been friends since middle school, sharing plenty of good times—from working together and watching sports to countless late nights. One of their most legendary stories involves Dalton getting bit in the butt by Victor’s dog… though everyone agrees that one was definitely Dalton’s fault. Through all the laughs and late nights, Victor has always been a loyal friend and a steady presence in Dalton’s life, making him an easy pick for the wedding party.

With a smile that could light up the room, she’ll be making her way down the aisle with all the charm and grace you’d expect from someone who’s both a little princess and a future dance floor queen.

Tom BaucomTom Baucom
Officiant
There’s truly no duo quite like Dalton and his Pawpoo. From the moment Dalton was born, the two have been inseparable—best friends, golf partners, and lifelong partners in laughter. Pawpoo has always been a steady source of wisdom, humor, and love in Dalton’s life, and there’s no one he looks up to more. Family legend has it that Tom once told Bailee’s dad that if anyone ever hurt either of his girls, he’d help get rid of the body—a promise he later had to take back when Bailee started dating his grandson! Having Pawpoo officiate the wedding couldn’t be more fitting. It’s a full-circle moment for a bond that’s been unbreakable from the very start.
