Katelyn & Hayden
Wedding Party
Victoria
Maid of Honor
Victoria is Katelyn's younger, most perfect little sister (even though EVERYONE thinks she's the older one). They have been best friends for the past 21 years and nothing has changed! They still preform their choreographed dance to Bohemian Rhapsody (established 2003), send glorious selfies to each other every day, and talk for hours about Harry Potter. Victoria's support has meant so much to Katelyn she could not imagine having anyone else standing by her side for this once in a lifetime day. Love you görl!
Pablo
Best Man
This is Hayden’s big bröther. He has been Hayden’s role model his entire life (though he will reluctantly admit it) and is so thankful to have his confidence and support when saying “I do!”. Hayden knew he could count on his big brö to support him when popping the question. Pablo has been his best friend even when it wasn’t always fun, and Hayden is excited to have him standing there when K8 officially joins the family.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Rachel met at FSU--they were in the same sorority! Rachel was one of the first people to make Katelyn feel included and welcome, but it wasn't until Hayden and Katelyn started dating until their relationship strengthened. Rachel (and Zoe, Rachel's wife) were roommates with Hayden for the first year of Hayden and Katelyn's relationship, so they spent so much time together! Rachel is such a kind, funny person and Katelyn is so happy to have Rachel by her side!
Zoe
Groomswoman
Zoe is one of Hayden’s longest friends from college. After meeting in Chiefs in Fall 2012, their friendship grew through forced hangouts coordinated by their mutual friend Rachel. Over Disney trips, day trips to Fazolis, PoCo adventures, and living together for 3 years, their love for what is now known as #beefunit will be reunited when Hayden ties the knot. Zoe was one of the first people Hayden confided in when he was looking to ask Katelyn to marry him, so it’s only fitting she stands beside him when that dream becomes a reality!
Bridget
Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Bridget also met at FSU (you will see a theme here) in 2014. Bridget and Katelyn were pledging sister organizations at the same time, so they worked closely together. Their relationship didn't truly blossom until Spring 2015 when Katelyn finally decided not to be shy and actually speak to her (Katelyn was so afraid she wasn't cool enough to be her friend). They quickly became attached at the hip. Bridget got Katelyn through some of the toughest times in her life and she will always be so grateful for her!
Brian
Groomsman
Brian and Hayden met in Fall 2014 through their super-secret band club. Although Hayden was unsure how that GDSR got on the bus to Dallas, he was happy to finally get to know him as a pledge and later homie. Their similar taste in Fall 14 women helped them grow closer, and their fiancées' friendship didn’t hurt either. Hayden asked Brian to shoot the proposal because he knew he’d be a lifelong friend, so it only makes sense that he’s standing by Hayden on the best day of his life!
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah also went to FSU and was in the Marching Chiefs. Katelyn and Hannah met in 2014 but didn't realize their true bestie potential until 2016. Hannah was Hayden's little in the tuba section, so they spent a lot of time together. Once Hayden and Katelyn started dating, they spent countless hours at Hannah's apartment playing board games and escaping hurricanes. Hannah's sweet, caring nature is treasured by Katelyn--she can count on her for just about anything!
Ben
Groomsman
Ben and Hayden also met in their super-secret band club in Spring 2015. Their friendship grew over late-night runs to Walmart, love of Poor Pauls free pizza, kickball, and of course FSU. Ben keeps Hayden from taking himself too seriously or sweating the small stuff, so it’s a no brainer his services are requested frequently. Hayden can count on Ben to keep him laughing through every event the wedding day will bring!
Alex
Bridesmaid
Alex and Katelyn also met at Florida State in the Marching Chiefs during the 2015 season. However, their relationship reached its peak after they both graduated with their undergrad degrees and has continued to grow! They have spent countless hours at Disney together (ty for being a cast member), sharing laughs, and texting about their love of YouTubers. Alex is one of the most selfless people Katelyn has met and she's so happy Alex is one of her bridesmaids!
Kyle
Groomsman
Kyle was an unexpected friendship for Hayden that blossomed later in both of their college careers. Kyle was a rookie in Hayden’s last year as a Marching Chief, so they didn’t really get to know each other until Kyle became a brother of their fraternity. Over the years, they discussed and debated many facets of their shared organizations, which only made their friendship more important to Hayden. Their trip to Oklahoma in summer 2019 made Hayden realize Kyle was a lifelong friend, brother, and necessary part of his wedding day.
Serena
Bridesmaid
Next is Katelyn's cousin Serena. Serena and Katelyn share such an undeniable, special connection that cannot be put into words. They have spent almost every summer together since Serena was born. Their love of Bratz has evolved into a love of astrology and their love of Disney has not changed one bit. Katelyn can count on Serena's guidance and advice whenever it's needed. Serena has played such an important role in Katelyn's life and her wedding day will not be any different!
Harrison
Groomsman
Harrison is Hayden’s grand little in Flush, meeting in 2015. They share a love for tuba, Doug, and just hanging out as much as possible. When Hayden and Harrison moved in together in 2019, it solidified their friendship. After having weekly family dinners, happy hours, and workout sessions, they became closer than ever. Hayden can always count on Harry to finish his leftovers, FaceTime with K8, and be a solid ear for advice. Hayden could not have asked for a better homie and roommate to support him in the busiest and most stressful time of his life, so of course, he is needed on the big day!
Becca
Bridesmaid
Lastly is Hayden's sister, Becca. When thinking about who Katelyn wanted in her girl gang for this big day, she just couldn't leave her out. They love to talk about their love of Animal Crossing and Mario Party while slipping in comments to make fun of Pablo. Becca is so nice and emits calming energy--she's such a chill gal. Katelyn can't wait to grow closer through this experience!
Jorge
Groomsman
Jorge is another brother from Hayden’s band club, where they met in Spring 2015. Jorge has always been a friendly ear whenever Hayden needed advice. He’s also been a constant support throughout his transition from undergrad to post-grad... and then back into grad school together. Jorge’s positive presence has always been a bright spot in his life, and Hayden could not do without it on his wedding day!
Joshua
Ring Bearer
Joshua is Katelyn's younger brother. Katelyn couldn't imagine him not playing an important role on this special day, he is such a wonderful brother!
Malena
Officiant
Malena is Hayden’s childhood best friend and Katelyn’s sorority sister. Malena has been through every big moment in Hayden’s life from when they met as toddlers in 1996. When thinking of who would officiate, there was little thought. Hayden always knew Malena would be part of the big day, but her special connection to both the bride and groom made it an obvious choice. Through many milestones, Malena has stood by this relationship, and Katelyn and Hayden are so excited to have her officiate!
Sydney
Flower Girl
Sydney is Katelyn's cousin (she's three weeks younger than Joshua!). Sydney is such a joy to be around and Katelyn is so happy to have her as one of her flower girls!
Gloria
Flower Girl
Gloria is the daughter of Hayden’s cousin Amy. His cousin has always been a source of advice and guidance whenever they get a chance to catch up, so it will be awesome to share this day with his family and the youngest addition, baby Glo.
