Wedding Party
Leah Braunschweig
Maid of Honor
I am Leah, Hailey's older sister and I have had the pleasure of knowing her for her entire life. We have been extremely close for as long as I can remember. In fact, I have heard stories of the day I met her for the first time in the hospital, how I would not let anyone else hold her because she was "my baby!" Hailey and I did everything together growing up. We were always playing house or barbies and got in lots of trouble keeping each other awake talking at night when we should have been sleeping. Even though Hailey is my younger sister, I look up to her so much. She is such a smart, strong, and beautiful person. I am so lucky to have gotten a sister and best friend all wrapped into one! When Hailey first met Lucas, I was so excited! Hailey was never much of a talker when it came to boys, but I could tell right away there was something different about Lucas. She would always get a little smile and blush when she talked about him. Lucas is so incredibly sweet and is the absolute perfect match for Hailey. I cannot wait to watch them continue to grow together as husband and wife!
Matt Skaaland
Best Man
I am Matt, Lucas's older brother and I have had the privilege of knowing him for his entire life. From our airsoft wars in the house (sorry Mom) to staying up way too late talking about the world, there is never a dull moment with Lucas around. It has been an honor to grow up with him and see both his achievements in life and the love between Hailey and him grow. I first met Hailey at one of our family vacations, and it was as if she had been a part of our family the whole time. She is a genuine and fun person to be around, and I can see that Hailey and Lucas bring out the best in each other. I wish both of them a lifetime of happiness together, and I look forward to celebrating and making more memories.
Ava Breuer
Bridesmaid
Hailey is my older cousin and someone that I have always looked up to! When we were younger, she was one of my favorite babysitters and now she is one of my favorite friends. A lot has changed since the days of "worms" for breakfast, Hailey dominating in Mario Kart, and taking the shortcut to get to the park. One thing that has not changed however, is the fact that she is someone I can go to for anything and always share a good laugh with! Her advice on boys, college, and life has saved me a time or two (I would not have made it through freshman year without command hooks), and I cannot wait for her marriage advice in years to come. I remember meeting Hailey's "friend" Lucas for the first time. Now, I may have only just finished middle school, but I knew that he was definitely not just a friend. He must have been a really really good friend if he was willing to brave a full day of river tubing with the Breuer family, especially without even meeting us first to test the waters. From that day forward, Lucas fit right in a s a member of our family, and I cannot wait for the two of them to make it official!

I have the luck of being Hailey’s brother. I have known her for her entire life, and having witnessed her grow up I can say for certain she is a wonderful person and sister and for sure the smartest of the three of us. Hailey and I have always had an “interesting” relationship. She is the one person in this world who knows exactly which buttons to press to get under my skin, and she learned at an early age that Dad will take her side in most “sibling disagreements.” Despite these differences, Hailey and I now get along very well and have grown close over the years with things like Friday sushi, watching our niece Jenna, and commiserating over the fact that Leah is Mom and Dad’s favorite. When Hailey introduced us to Lucas, I was a little surprised by how quickly he fit into the family. We could all see how much he and Hailey meant to each other, and I was not surprised when after a few years they decided they were going to get married. I am very honored to be a part of Hailey and Lucas’s day and wish them happiness in the years to come.
Annika Braund
Bridesmaid
I'm Hailey's younger cousin Anni. Hailey is one of the best big cousins you could ask for. Whether it was playing American girls dolls with me, or giving me all her hand me down clothes (until I got taller than her), she was always someone I could count on. I will always look forward to our traditional calendar scrapbooking night and the late night giggles that come along with it. As we get older, Hailey is always so great at coordinating fun ways for us to see each other, whether it was a slumber party at her whitewater apartment, or just snuggling up on Leah's couch to catch up on each others lives. Either way, Hailey never fails to put a smile on my face or to pass down some valuable advice. It has been so great getting to know Lucas more over the years. I could not imagine a more perfect fit for the family or for Hailey. I love them each as they are, but I love them better together! Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!

It was our freshman year of college that I received the privilege of meeting Lucas and Hailey. We all lived in the same dorm and became quick friends. We eventually all moved into a house together where the fun was plentiful. We have made many memories with movie nights, parties, fantasy football (where Hailey keeps beating us), and much more I am honored to be a part of their wedding and lives. I am extremely grateful to have made amazing friends like Lucas and Hailey. It is clear to me that they were made for each other, and I can't wait to celebrate their love

Bridesmaid
Hailey is like another sister to me. We met when I was just a few hours old, and we have been inseparable ever since. From playing Barbies and Dress Up, to going to high school and college together, I could not imagine my life without her. Hailey has a way of making everyone around her feel included, and I am honored to be a part of such a special day. I met Lucas during our freshman year of college and quickly noticed there was something special between him and Hailey. I can't wait to celebrate the Skaalands!

Groomsman
I met Lucas and Hailey during college. Lucas and I lived together for two years, and Hailey lived next door. Lucas and I could always be found in the upstairs living room of the house either solving all the world's problems, people watching out the front window, or on the rare occasion, doing homework. Most of my favorite college memories include Lucas and Hailey. From Halloween parties to karaoke nights at the Tratt house, there was never a dull moment. I look forward to continuing to make memories with Lucas and Hailey long after they tie the knot!
Amber Sies
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I both chose to room with random roommates our freshman year and were placed together. Luckily enough, we ended up getting along very well and even raised some fish together! This friendship would carry us to room together the rest of college along with an amazing group of other lifelong friends. Hailey is the best person to laugh with, seek advice from, and celebrate the good times with! Lucas lived on the same floor as us freshman year. His interest in Hailey was obvious and undeniable from the start, even if not to Hailey. Lucas was always coming over to our tiny door room, not quite big enough for three people. We loved having him around, and I loved watching their relationship grow. I am so honored to be celebrating the love of these two amazing humans. They make each other happier than ever, and I know they have a lifetime of joy together ahead of them. Cheers to the Skaalands!

I met Lucas and Hailey our freshman year of college where we lived on the same floor. It didn't take long for Lucas and I to bond over our mutual enjoyment of sports, fishing, and the occasional cold one. Since then, we've had plenty of good times like screwing up Kyle's Neflix algorithm, doing P90X during Covid, and that time Lucas got a croc patterned sunburn on his feet while fishing. Hailey definitely has her hands full with Lucas. He is the only person I know who takes pleasure in talking in circles with phone scammers. With that said, Lucas and Hailey are both amazing people, and I'm very excited to celebrate with them. I wish them a long and happy marriage!
Julia Simo
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I met the first day of freshman year of college. We quickly learned that we had a lot in common and even lived two doors down from each other in the dorms. From then on, we spent a ton of time together whether it was studying for exams, baking in the dorm basement, or brainstorming fun ways to keep ourselves busy on the weekends. We spent so much time together that we're still convinced that some of our professors and classmates didn't know who was who! I couldn't have asked for a better person to be by my side for all of the adventures college throws at you. I met Lucas about a day after Hailey and it didn't take long for the rest of our group to pick up on his crush. We quickly had a solid group of amazing friends that has lasted to this day. The best memories always include Hailey and Lucas, and it's been so exciting to watch their love grow over the years. It's an honor to be a part of this special day for these two amazing people, and I couldn't be more excited!

I first met Lucas when we were moving into our dorm room Freshman year of college. It didn't take long before we became the best of buds. Whether it was serenading the dorm floor with our performance of "You and I" or our boy's nights, there was never a dull moment. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Hailey, who was the perfect match for Lucas. Through cheering on Lucas at his track meets, playing intramural volleyball, and those late night hangout sessions, Hailey and I developed a great friendship as well. Over the years, all of us have been able to create a lot of fun memories partying, camping, golfing, and weekend getaways that I'll never forget. I'm so excited for Hailey and Lucas. They are the best friends someone could ask for, and I feel honored to be a part of their special day. I can't wait to celebrate with them as they start their next chapter together!

Hi I'm Jenna, Hailey's niece. Hailey is the best aunt I could ever have asked for! She loves to spoil me with lots of cute outfits and toys. Although I am little right now, I am working hard to grow big and strong so I can walk down the aisle at her and Uncle Lucas's wedding!
