Wedding Party
Joseph Keniley
Officiant
Joe has known Hayden and Dana for years - from Mizzou tailgates, to the Cargill wedding, to now, Joe has watched them grow up. When Dana and Hayden were discussing who should marry them, they felt Joe would be the perfect person because he has had a front row seat to their love story. We are so thankful for Joe's kindness and compassion for us, and we hope he knows that we feel it all for him in return!
Laine Degnan
Maid of Honor
Laine is Dana's sister. They are 6 years apart, but people would still ask if they were twins growing up. Dana attended many soccer and volleyball games supporting Laine, while Laine was Dana's number 1 fan when watching her perform onstage. One time Dana saved Laine from begin bitten by a horse when they were at a Christmas tree farm with their family. As adults, they enjoy getting smoothies together, playing Fortnite, and talking about what books they're reading!
Megan Cargill
Matron of Honor
Megan and Dana met in 2016 at Hayden, Devin, David, and Griffin's apartment. Dana's dog, Cookie, wandered into her and Devin's room while they were asleep. Megan woke up and saw Hayden tiptoeing after Cookie and Dana standing in the doorway. Later, they ate cookie dough for breakfast and have been best friends ever since. Megan also witnessed Dana's greatest physical feat so far - fireman-kicking down a door to save a dog trapped in a bathroom (dammit, Holly!). Dana and Megan later learned they could have just taken the doorknob off. Now, you can find them at a City SC match, watching reality tv, cheering on the boys at volleyball, or playing Fortnite for Megan's son.
Connie Frank
Bridesmaid
Connie and Dana don't remember when their friendship started. Maybe it was marching band? Speech Team? Show choir? High school theatre? Whatever, what matters is they are best friends. Their parents would get them confused when watching them march on the football field, because they looked so alike. Connie and Dana love musical theatre, talking about professional gymnastics, texting each other for help on what to wear, and dancing at concerts and broadway raves!
Addison Haddock
Bridesmaid
Addison and Dana have considered each other sisters for years, and can't wait for it to be official. One of their favorite memories is Mizzou's Homecoming 2018, where we tailgated with almost every person in the bridal party. One time, Addison called Dana at 11:30pm because her cat went into labor - Dana was no help but it sure was exciting! Dana and Addison never run out of things to talk about and you can find them singing along to Grant's guitar during family parties or going on breakfast dates!
Maddie Campbell
Bridesmaid
Maddie and Dana met freshman year at Stephens College, but their friendship really grew during the summer of 2015 during their Summer Theatre Intensive. They spent long hours in the theatre during the day and during the nights, they'd drive around Columbia listening to music and gabbing. When Dana joined Kappa Delta, Maddie became her big sister and the rest was history. You can find Dana and Maddie getting chai lattes, thrifting, going to concerts, talking about their cats, and crafting while watching trash tv.
Clara Bentz
Bridesmaid
Clara and Dana also met freshman year of college. Clara lived in the scary haunted dorm next to Dana's and both were in the theatre program. One night, Dana, Clara, and another friend were at an even scarier and more haunted building on campus practicing piano when the power suddenly went out. The three of them held each other as they crept out of the building, and once outside they ran all the way across campus back to Dana's dorm, the least haunted of them all. They spent the night moving mattresses and sleeping all together in Dana's room. Dana and Clara love going to zoo's, doing crafts, and getting crepes and boba together.
Viviana DeAngelo
Flower Girl
Viviana is Dana's goddaughter and she is the embodiment of fierce! She will be serving looks all night and we can't wait to get her on the dancefloor! Viviana loves cheer, dance, and going on adventures with her family. Dana and Vivi like doing workout dance videos together!
In memoriam-Alexandria Haddock
Bridesmaid
Alexandria is Hayden's older sister who passed away from childhood cancer. If she were here today, she would be standing by our sides. We love you, Alexandria! #CancerSucks
Devin Cargill
Best Man
Devin and Hayden technically met the day they were born - they share the same birthday and were born in the same hospital! But they didn't link up again until their high school computer orientation. Devin introduced himself and they started talking. When class started, the teacher's first rule was "Do not email your classmates during orientation." So naturally Devin immediately emailed Hayden and the rest is history. Hayden was Devin's co-Best Man in his wedding and Hayden is practically part of the Cargill-Hopkins family.
Griffin Steins
Best Man
Hayden met Griffin not long after he met Devin, at CBC High school. Griffin and Hayden are like brothers and look out for each other in that way. They once had a month-long sleepover at Hayden's house during high school. Griffin and Hayden love finding new games to "no-life", going to the driving range, and annoying the crap out of Dana.
David Auger
Groomsman
Hayden and David went to the same middle school and ran in the same groups, but weren't super close. They went to different high schools and lost touch for awhile, until their freshman year at Mizzou. David joined the same fraternity as Devin, and Hayden was always around the frat house even though he wasn't a brother. They realized they knew each other and the rest was history. Hayden, Devin, Griffin, and David lived together in college, and Dana remembers being snowed in at their place and the boys all brought their gaming computers into the living room. David was also our designated dog sitter for our late pup Cookie, and she loved him. David lives in Denver, but when the boys are together you can find them hiking, playing games, and laughing until they cry.
Gunnar Alison
Groomsman
We met Gunnar during our friend Henry's wedding festivities and after Henry's passing, we have become close with him and his wife, Jess. This past summer, we went on vacation with Gunner and Jess, and a few others in our party and we had the best time. Gunnar is so kind, and one of the funniest guys we know. Gunnar has been known to bust a move on the dance floor and knows how to drink out of a cowboy boot glass. You can find Hayden and Gunner talking about raspberry pi's, Love Island (with their wives), enjoying a coffee, or playing Fortnite.
Harrison Haddock
Groomsman
Harrison is Hayden's youngest brother and it's CRAZY that he is 19 years old now, because he was 9 when Dana met him! Harrison is a freshman at St. Charles Community College and Dana was his Academic Advisor when she worked there. Harrison and Hayden love going for drives, talking about video games, and doing house projects at Dana and Hayden's house.
Jackson Riordan
Groomsman
Jack and Hayden met at CBC High School and have managed to stay in contact since from across the country through video games. One time, Jack stayed at our place on New Year’s Eve well after midnight because our cat albus wouldn’t get off his lap. Jack is also close friends Dana, and they all bond over music, going to concerts, video games, and golf.
