Wedding Party
Layne Chou
Matron of Honor
Haley met Layne through friends at Xavier and they've been close ever since! Although they are polar opposite in regards to how strong the UV should be, Layne and Haley love to sit by the pool and relax on the beach of Lake Erie. Layne also feeds into Haley’s unhealthy obsession of Taylor Swift.
Patrick Van Ermen
Best Man
Pat and Santiago met sophomore year at Xavier University through mutual friends and still bother each other to this day. If they’re not talking about their (sub-par) golf game, they’re figuring out where the next photo walk will be. Their favorite thing overall is rage baiting each other over absolutely nothing.
Taylor Shrader
Matron of Honor
Taylor and Haley met freshman year at Xavier when they unexpectedly decided to room together, which resulted in them being roommates for all 4 years of college. Taylor and Haley love to cheer on the Xavier men’s basketball team and help their post-college softball team stay undefeated. It’s also fair to give Taylor credit for most logical decisions Haley makes.
Collin Shrader
Groomsman
Santi met Collin through Haley's roommate, Taylor Shrader, when he would visit Xavier for long weekends. Santi and Collin often golf together and hang out at Xavier basketball games where Collin hopes to one day take the reins of the program and lead Xavier to their first National Title.
Anna Erickson
Bridesmaid
Anna and Haley danced together at Erickson Academy of Irish Dance. Through their love for Irish dance, they’ve traveled regionally and nationally often dancing as partners on the same ceili team. Some of Haley’s favorite memories with Anna include when they used to hypothetically plan their future weddings during post-dance Pilates.
Gabriel “Krispy” Garcia
Groomsman
Santiago and Krispy go all the way back to their childhood neighborhood days. You’d often find Krispy either drinking an ice cold Heineken with the Krispy Kreme donut around the bottle neck or plotting with Santiago and other neighborhood friends on creating their political party in Puerto Rico known as El Partido Quenepero de Puerto Rico (PQPR), in which Krispy is the head of the DOJ
Maria Elena Alvarez
Bridesmaid
Maria Elena is Santi’s younger sister. Her spunky personality lights up every room she enters. Haley can’t wait to finally have a sister!
Aaron Muth
Groomsman
Aaron is Haley’s younger brother who Santiago met back when Aaron was starting high school. Santiago and Aaron have gotten closer from Aaron motivating him to go out and play different golf courses around Cincinnati as well as growing their bourbon collection.
Jose (Pepe) Calderón
Usher
Jose is Daniel Calderón’s brother and has know Santiago around the same time Krispy has. Jose is know as the Resident Commissioner in Washington for PQPR and has been the lead of any brainstorming session for road trips or outings.
Daniel (Danny) Calderón
Usher
Daniel is the second Calderón brother in this party and the fires starter for every party. Whether he’s trying to organize a game of Dominoes or planning a cookout making his famous Cowboy Ribeye, Daniel will always get the party going. If anyone is wondering, Daniel is the head of the Department of Consumer Affairs for PQPR.
