Wedding Party

Haley Stevenson

Matron of Honor

Sometimes referred to as "the other Haley", or Haley B's best friend! You may also recognize Haley from embarrassing snap chat wars in college. The Haleys became fast friends at Clemson orientation and were roommates their Junior and Senior years of college. Haley is returning the favor of MOH as Haley B was just her Maid of Honor in February when she married her now husband, Will Stevenson aka "the Goob". She is a physical therapist in Spartanburg, SC and Will is finishing Vet school at NCSU.

Richard Battle

Best Man

To call Mr. Battle the "Best Man" would be an understatement. He is the leader in Staats' life and the backbone to the man Staats has become today. Do not get between them during a free throw contest in the driveway but they will be glad to include you in a Tuesday night journey to Snoopy's for 1/2 priced hot dogs.

Cameron Leonard

Bridesmaid

Cameron is Staats' oldest sister and mother of our super cute nephew, Turner, who will celebrate his FIRST birthday on our wedding day! Staats wouldn't have been able to pull off his proposal had it not been for Cameron. Haley and Staats really look up to Cameron in that big sister role and know she is always willing to offer advice when it's needed.

Will Barefoot

Groomsman

Will is Haley's middle brother and played football at Davidson College. He and Staats are both in finance and will talk tricks of the trade while drinking an IPA and a Bud Light. He is always the best dancer in the room and if you ever bet Will in anything then make sure you're ready to face the consequences...Staats learned the hard way.

Sterling Stilley

Bridesmaid

Sterling is Staats' second oldest sister. She just married her husband John Bryan on May 4th and Haley and Staats were fortunate enough to stand beside them on their big day! Sterling is the whole family's style expert from interior design to clothes and shoes, we all turn to her. Haley has especially taken advantage of Sterlings closet, one of the many wonderful perks of gaining a sister!

Slater Barefoot

Groomsman

Slater is Haley's youngest brother and will be the first person to give you a hug the night of the wedding. He is Staats' go-to news source for NBA information and the two have been busy debating NBA free agency and the upcoming season. He will take down anyone in Fortnite; however, he has never beaten Staats (Disclosure: Staats has never played Fortnite).

McCall Moore

Bridesmaid

McCall is Haley's first cousin, who is more like a sister. With their moms being sisters, McCall and Haley were basically raised together. Haley just stood next to McCall on March 30th as she said "I-Do"! She and her husband Hunter live here in Raleigh with their cute golden retriever, Wells.

Miller Robins

Groomsman

Miller is Staats' cousin by definition but in reality he is Staats' brother, mentor, basketball trainer and golf coach. Miller played golf at Elon University but claims he can beat Staats in a 1 on 1 game of basketball...Staats has never confirmed nor denied the claim.

Carter Bunn

Bridesmaid

Haley's first cousin (McCall's sister), also like a sister to Haley. She just graduated from Wofford in the spring and is now living in Raleigh. She's fun and goofy and has impeccable style; her favorite store of choice being goodwill. Fun-fact: Carter had an NC State basketball trading card of Staats in her car for 5 years before Haley introduced her to him when they started dating. Needless to say, she's always been a fan.

Ralston Turner

Groomsman

Ralston was a starting guard on the NC State basketball team and was one of Staats' college roommates. He claims Staats was his first friend at NCSU and you can find them together at Biscutville in the mornings and MoJoe's in the afternoon. Rumor has it the song “Lean On Me” was written about Staats and Ralston.

Annie Reali

Bridesmaid

Annie is one of Haley's best high school friends. Haley and Annie also went to Clemson together, lived together their last semester of nursing school and in Wrightsville Beach for a summer. Haley and Annie spent so much time together in high school she started calling Haley's parents "Romy Mommy" and "Papa Player". Annie is one of those friends who always knows how to make you feel so special and so loved.

John Pace

Groomsman

Pace is a member of the Goonie friend group and has been boys with Staats since the sandbox days in preschool. Pace played soccer at Davidson College but left his mark on Staats on the golf course, literally. When they were 7 years old, Pace's 8 iron back swing caught Staats on the left eyebrow. Staats wears the scar as a badge of honor. In all seriousness, look up “ride or die” and you’ll see a picture of Pace.

Lizzy Taylor

Bridesmaid

Lizzy and Haley became friends at Clemson and then both moved to Raleigh after college which is when they became even better friends. They have now lived together in Five Points for the past year. Lizzy works in packaging for Burts Bees so if you are ever in need for some lip balm be sure to hit her up... just make sure you call it "lip balm" and not "Chapstick" or you won't hear the end of it.

Conor Strickland

Groomsman

Strick is the 40 in the 20-30-40 trio and a member of the Goonie friend group. Conor played college basketball at Salisbury University and was Staats' point guard from 7th to 12th grade. Without Strick at point guard, Staats probably would have stuck with tennis instead of basketball.

Kendall Seagroves

Bridesmaid

KendiSea! Kendall is Haley's college roommate and one of her best friends. She is from and currently lives in Myrtle Beach, SC where she does graphic design. She is one Haleys most adventurous friends and has travelled just about everywhere with the most recent being New Zealand. We thought we might lose her to the Outback in 2016 but thankfully she came back to us.

Cyrus Stewart

Groomsman

Cy ("Rus") is the 20 in the 20-30-40 trio and a member of the Goonie friend group. Rus played golf at Wake Forest University but has the smoothest basketball stroke you'll ever see. He and Staats were the original "Splash Brothers" from the 3pt line in middle school and high school before the NBA "Splash Brothers" became a thing.

Katie McNeill

Bridesmaid

Katie and Haley are close friends from Clemson. Katie was Kendall and "the Haleys" honorary 4th roommate. She is now a Physicians Assistant in the Emergency Room at MUSC in Charleston, SC which also happens to be her hometown! Katie is one of Haleys most thoughtful friends and her notes, letters and birthday cards are always keepers!!

Bill Marlowe

Groomsman

Bill is a member of the Goonie friend group and has been boys with Staats since the sandbox days in preschool. They form the dynamic duo of Lil Mans and Big Fella and are notoriously known for their epic pool basketball games. Bill is a commercial real estate developer but is Staats' go-to debate partner on the stock market.

Beck Bond

Groomsman

Beck was Staats' college roommate and part of the razor scooter gang. He played tennis at NC State and is the only one on this list that can compete with Staats in ping pong. Beck is always the life of the party and on the wedding day you should ask Beck to do his party trick, you wont be disappointed.

Scott Wood

Groomsman

Scott was a starting guard on the NC State basketball team and was Staats' study hall roommate. Staats was tagged with the impossible assignment of guarding Scott every day in practice and Staats left an infinite amount of finger nail scratches on Scott's arm. Scott is the all-time 3pt leader at NC State and Staats credits that to their "Good luck out there *knuckle dap*" pregame routine.

Christopher Edmonston

Officiant
