Wedding Party
Danielle Cardone
Bride
Danielle met Hayden on a dating app called "Hinge". Their first date was at Miller's Ale House watching a Phillies game. She almost deleted his number after he sent her videos of himself giving fake high fives to Mets fans at a Phillies game. Luckily she decided to keep him around and they look forward to many Phillies celebrations together. Danielle loves that Hayden is always down for any adventure and is always smiling! They got engaged at a Phillies game (notice a theme?) and had their closest family and friends to celebrate. She can't wait to marry her best friend and have a great group of people by their sides!
Hayden Kephart
Groom
Just as Hayden thought he would never meet the right girl, Danielle walked into his life and stole his heart. They have enjoyed many Phillies and Flyers games together and he finally forked up some courage to ask her to marry him on 5/17/2025 at a Phillies game. Hayden is very passionate about his relationship, job and most importantly his Philadelphia sports teams. Hayden is super excited to marry his best friend being surrounded by all of his closest friends and family.
Sarah Cardone
Maid of Honor
Danielle and Sarah are identical twin sisters even though they do not think they look that much alike. They have been inseparable since birth and have shared a ton of moments together including softball games, cross country and track meets, graduation, and birthdays. They hate being compared to one another, but do not really know anything different from being twins. They went to separate colleges, but still enjoyed seeing each other at cross country and track meets and watching one another be successful! Sarah is rocking it as a nurse and her sister is always proud of her! Danielle is happy to have Sarah by her side during one of her most important days! Danielle looks forward to doing the same for Sarah on her big day next summer!
Mason Kephart
Best Man
Mason is Hayden’s little brother and the baby of the family. That being said, Mason is probably the hardest working, caring, motivated and athletic sibling in the family. Mason loves working out, eating healthy and watching Philly sports with Hayden. He is also a devoted plumber and never afraid to get his hands dirty. Hayden is looking forward to his brother standing by his side as his best man in July. One of their best memories together was when they were at the NFC title game (Eagles and Vikings) in 2018 with their dad. Another amazing memory was when they were at game 4 of the Phillies 2023 playoff run and bounced the Braves in 4 games. Mason was not 21 and was able to be sneek into Xfinity Live where they celebrated with the Phillies players.
Katie Labrie
Bridesmaid
Katie and Danielle met in an education class at Messiah during their first semester in college in "Dwayne's" class. The class was pretty bad, but their friendship blossomed from there. They lived on the same freshmen floor together too and enjoyed many movie marathons, spent many hours in their freshmen lounge, and even completed a field placement in a 2nd grade class together. Katie has always been one of Danielle's biggest cheerleaders in life as she calls her "Runner Danielle". They enjoy going on annual beach trips with an awesome group of girls and sharing some funny teacher stories with one another.
Matt Gross
Groomsman
Matt is Hayden’s cousin and his best friend since birth. Matt and Hayden were born a month apart back in 1994. They have grown up together and have always had each other’s backs. Matt currently resides in Virginia Beach with his 10 year old daughter McKenzie. Matt also served in the United States Navy. One of Hayden’s best memories with Matt was destroying Paw Paw's garden with baseball bats. They were a very destructive duo. Matt used to come up to Shippensburg every weekend to party with Hayden and that’s where some of the best memories were made (we won’t go into detail).
Noelle Almond
Bridesmaid
Noelle is Danielle's future sister-in-law. She is one of the kindest and most supportive people you will meet and deserves a ton of credit for putting up with two crazy brothers, Hayden and Mason! Noelle is extremely hard working and easy going. She is a wonderful mom to the cutest ring bearer, Asher, and Danielle can't wait to officially have Noelle as another sister very soon!
Brent Jenkins
Groomsman
Brent is Hayden’s older cousin. Hayden has always looked up to Brent growing up. Brent is an avid gamer and streams videos on twitch playing all kinds of different games. Brent was Hayden’s neighbor at his apartment in Lancaster. They have enjoyed many nights together going out to Tellus 360, Annie Bailey's, Yorgos, Marion Court Room, and Dan's Pub. They have also enjoyed multiple beach trips together and trips to new cities. Brent is always there to give advice when needed and Hayden is looking forward to having him by his side on wedding day.
Ashley McFeaters
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Danielle met briefly at Camp Eder as Ashley was visiting with the Messiah cross country team during camp week. Her dad was Danielle's college cross country and track coach, but Ashley and Danielle's friendship grew even more through their many college adventures. They lived on the same freshmen floor and then became roommates the next 3 years of college. Ashley has always been such a supportive friend (as Messiah XC's biggest cheerleader) through all of the highs and lows of life. She always knows the right things to say and is up for any adventure. Danielle and Ashley have had their fair share of fun including running a couple of half marathons, completing a scavenger hunt through Messiah's campus at rare hours of the night, and playing whiffle ball in Ashley's backyard. Danielle was very happy to be a bridesmaid in Ashley's wedding, and now Danielle can't wait to have Ashley next to her in July!
Kyle Toomey
Groomsman
Kyle is Hayden’s roommate from Shippensburg University. Kyle and Hayden met in 2013 when they were members in SUTV. After freshman year with a super lame roommate, Kyle asked Hayden if he wanted to live with them. The rest was history and memories were made. Kyle was two years older than Hayden but took him under his wing at Shippensburg and they got to call multiple football games together. Hayden was a groomsman at Kyle’s wedding and did his best to be the life of the party. Kyle will definitely be the life of the party at the wedding as he always is.
Madison Roberts
Bridesmaid
Madison and Danielle both teach at the same school and were also roommates for a few years. Danielle enjoyed many adventures with Madison, her dog (Maizey), and the crazy cat (Chad) during that time. Madison is full of wit and jokes, but is also a support in times of need. She is the best gift giver, listening ear, and wants what is best for anyone. Madison loves to try new things and include others in whatever she has planned! Danielle was so happy for Madison's big day in December and now she looks forward to the roles reversing very soon!
Andrew Park
Groomsman
Andrew was Hayden’s other roommate at Shippensburg University. Andrew lived with Kyle in 2013 and that’s how Hayden and Andrew met. Hayden and Andrew’s love for the Eagles instantly made them best friends. Once Kyle graduated, Andrew and Hayden got to be roommates for an extra year and it didn’t disappoint. They would spend hours playing NHL, Madden and GameCube games. While their girlfriends at the time would go to the library and study, Andrew and Hayden made memories gaming, drinking together and watching family guy. Hayden was just a groomsman back in November 2024 at Andrew’s Wedding and now is happy to have Andrew by his side for his wedding. Go Birds!
Emma Dugan
Bridesmaid
Emma and Danielle are college friends and teammates. Danielle was a freshman when Emma was a senior at Messiah. They met at cross country camp and Emma kindly took Danielle under her wing. They connected over being the shortest on the team and became training partners that fall. They shared many miles together and still keep a close friendship to this day. Emma is always so diligent about checking in and offering kind words and encouragement. Danielle was so happy to celebrate as a bridesmaid in Emma's wedding a few years ago and now Danielle is so excited to have Emma be there in July!
Ryan Cho
Groomsman
Another Shippensburg alumni, Hayden met Ryan in 2013 from SUTV and living in the same apartment building. Ryan was one of the first friends Hayden made at Shippensburg. Their passion for Philly sports instantly made them best friends. Ryan and Hayden also used to commentate Ship basketball games together learning all of the basketball lingo. They have stayed in touch over the years and most recently met up in Pittsburgh for a Phillies/Pirates game with their ladies. Most people know Ryan as his alter ego “Jeff Chang” which was a nickname given to him in college. Danielle might call him Ryan but he will always be Jeff Chang to Hayden.
Callie Moyer
Bridesmaid
Callie and Danielle met their freshmen year at Messiah as they were both education majors and lived on the same freshmen floor. Callie is a hard working high school Spanish teacher and avid reader. She even has her own bookstagram! Callie is a genuine, loyal friend who also joins Danielle and other friends on an annual beach trip. She is always up to try new things and has a smile on her face! She was one of the biggest supporters of Danielle and Hayden when they first began dating and will continue to be a tremendous support on the big day!
Dave De Vries
Groomsman
Dave was Andrew’s best friend growing up in New Hope together. With those two being best friends, Dave ended up at Shippensburg a lot on weekends causing Hayden to get to know him better. After one weekend together, Hayden and Dave instantly became close friends. Like Matt, Dave would come up to Shippensburg weekly and the fabulous 4 group was made (Hayden, Andrew, Matt and Dave). Dave is funny, laid back, outgoing, caring and intelligent. Dave also sends some of the craziest snap chats in our groomsmen group. If you don’t have a streak with Dave, he will make sure you get one with him.
Lucy Cardone
Flower Girl
Lucy is Danielle's cousin and the life of any party! She loves to sing, dance, and play with her dog, Meatball. She is a true girly girl who loves dresses, sparkle, makeup, unicorns, and princesses.

Asher Almond
Ring Bearer
Asher is Hayden and Danielle's nephew. He loves to be on the move, clap his hands, and laugh at his Uncle Hayden. Asher is such a fun little guy and brings so much joy to everyone. Hayden and Danielle can't wait to watch Asher grow especially during these next few years! They know Asher will be the best ring bearer on the big day!
Cody Nodis
Officiant
Cody is a licensed professional officiant. Cody became good friends with Hayden at Shippensburg through Kyle. The rest was history after they met. Cody is the most caring, smart and outgoing person you’ll ever meet. The first time Hayden met Cody, Kyle had Cody come up to their apartment as a “bouncer” for a party. Someone got out of hand at the party and Cody put him to sleep. That was the moment Hayden knew that Cody always had his back. Cody’s faith and friendship has Hayden and Danielle super excited for him to officiate their wedding and they couldn’t be more blessed.
