Wedding Party
Ann Warren Harless
Maid of Honor
AW is Haley's ride or die, attached at the hip since first day of freshman year at Godwin HS. You can find them dancing to “Dancing Queen,” drinking G&Ts, and shopping. She's been by her side through every season and Haley wouldn't have it any other way!
John Lobdell
Best Man
John and Blake met at Sunchase Apartment Complex in Harrisonburg, VA in 2016 when Blake asked his female neighbor if she wanted a beer and a male's voice replied back "Yeah dude I'd love one." This lead to Blake being taken under the wing of the JMU student ambassadors as an honorary member at their functions and plenty of after party hangouts/overnights on their Charleston Townes apartment couch. Blake also saw his first NHL game with John in 2019 (Capitals @ Bruins ((Caps Won)) where John refused to allow Blake to wear his Jarvis Landry Browns jersey and instead had him dawn a TB12 jersey.
Katey Corning
Bridesmaid
Katey first came into Haley's life in 2012 when she met her brother, Ty, at JMU. She was the sister Haley always wanted and has been the perfect fit for our family. They have a shared love of Taylor Swift, and Katey’s perfect little baby Daniel.
Alex Oates
Groomsman
HITT, golf, Metallica, Chili's
Michala Messick
Bridesmaid
Haley met Michala in Harrisonburg in 2016, and they volunteered together at a local middle school for 3 years while Haley was at JMU and Michala was at Bridgewater. Their friendship is sponsored by NYC, broadway, and chips and queso.
Alvin Robinson
Groomsman
Alvin and Blake met through a mutual friend in High School but formed a greater bond during Blake's second senior beach week that he was invited on in 2014. Since then the relationship has grown through various activities such as bowling, brunches with each of the significant others, running each others first Tough Mudder, and choosing to finish not 1 but 2 IPA pitchers at a Top Golf outing (this has not been attempted more than once.)
Kallie Wilkes
Bridesmaid
Haley originally met Kallie at JMU, but their friendship took off when Haley became Kallie's roommate on Floyd Ave in early spring of 2021. They would binge watch TV shows, make black bean burgers, and crush nightingale ice cream sandwiches.
Shawn Mitchell
Groomsman
Shawn was Blake's first roommate out of college when Blake moved to Richmond in 2021. For better or for worse, Shawn is an avid Philadelphia sports fan with a great sense of humor and a kind soul. Shawn shows a passion for all sorts of outdoor activities which ultimately lead to Blake's love of both disc golf and regular golf. For these two no tee time is too early, too wet, or too out of season to be seen on the course.
Elizabeth Sturm
Bridesmaid
While Haley was friends with El’s husband, Tyler, a few years earlier, El and Haley became fast friends when Tyler introduced her to the friend group in summer of 2021. Haley and El share a love of wine, yapping, and Taylor Tomlinson (a comedian). Tyler and El are some of Haley and Blake's favorites to double date with!
Ian Anderson
Groomsman
From Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies at Big James's or Nena's house to 1$ mimosa pitcher's at Murphy's in VA Beach, Ian and Blake have been huge influences on each other over the years. Blake and Ian have been close friend's since Freshman Year French at King William High School where Blake's main sentence was suggesting that he would like to order a "Jambon et Poulet sandwich" (this is a Ham and Chicken sandwich for those who don't speak French.)
Chloe Sutterfield
Speaker
Chloe is Blake's little sister and Haley's future SIL. They're excited to have her share a reading in the wedding!
Ty Corning
Officiant
Ty is Haley's older brother and Blake's future brother-in-law. Ty will be officiating the wedding. If you're looking for funny stories of either of us, he's got them!
