Brendon and Haley can't wait to see him again!
Hunter Rich
Bridesmaid
Haley met Hunter in the Physical Therapy program during Graduate School. Haley entered the program hoping for nothing more than a Doctoral Degree, but was blessed with lifelong friendships along the way. Hunter and Haley were table-mates and lab partners for the majority of their schooling and were basically inseparable at all times. Haley is happy to continue her friendship with Hunter beyond PT school and can't wait to have her on her side!

Sam and Brendon met on a trip they like to call "The Great Escape" where they traveled across Europe running with the bulls, speeding on the autobahn, and celebrating the German Wold Cup Championship.

Paige may be Brendon's cousin already, but Haley can't wait to be apart of their family!

Paige is an amazing friend and Haley is lucky to soon have her as a family member as well!
