Hayley & Chase
Wedding Party
Tanvi Jain
Maid of Honor
Hayley and Tanvi have been best friends and "wifeys" since middle school - thanks in part to how close our last names are in the alphabet! Tanvi recently moved to Charlotte, NC to be closer to Hayley, or as she tells it, because of her new job at Bank of America. Tanvi and Hayley's friendship is grounded in their shared love of food, sassy come-backs, and cringe-y reality TV. In addition to be being a top notch chef and baker, Tanvi is always down for new culinary adventures - particularly if it involves a bottomless brunch! Most likely to move into Hayley and Chase's guest room to be closer to her true love, Iggy.
Matt Milbourn
Best Man
Know Each Other From: Worked together at Wells Fargo Nickname: Milbs, Milbo, Big Daddy Favorite Memory: Traveling - Europe together and introducing Chase to hummus for the first time - Iceland (Ulfur Ulfur and Princess Nokia, IYKYK) - Kentucky Derby (wallet, the infamous bet, block party) - Nashevegas - the list goes on and on! Fun Fact: Known for his adventurous taste in breakfast food (canned green beans, leftover chili, steak and potatoes) and his uncanny ability to nap anywhere/anytime (Snorlax)
Katie Hunter
Bridesmaid
Katie, aka Munchkin, has the very blessed opportunity to have known Hayley since her birth. Needless to say the sisters have gone through a lot together, from childhood squabbles (Katie always started it), to visiting each other in whatever exotic location Katie had managed to relocate to, and to always being around to make each other laugh (only occassionally at each other), particularly during family game nights. Luckily for Hayley, Katie has accepted her future brother-in-law with just a minimal amount of sass (if you know Katie, you know that is a huge honor). Most likely to bounce a potential wedding crasher (small but mighty!)
Michael Alexander
Groomsman
Know Each Other From: Birth - Chase's Brother Nickname: Dr. Alexander Favorite Memory: Family beach trip to Wild Dunes (back before the house when we had the condo). We rented a boat and took it down the intercoastal, which was fine until we made it to Charleston harbor. I specifically remember it being choppy and a few of us up front bouncing in the seats, holding onto the dock lines for dear life yelling "DOPE ON A ROPE, DOPE ON A ROPE"! Fun Fact: Michael recently moved to Birmingham, Alabama with his new wife Hannah and got a Golden Retriever pup named Callie! One of the reasons Chase and Hayley jumped into the deep end and got a pup of their own!
Jess DeLorm Beether
Bridesmaid
Hayley and Jess met when Jess started her first day at Wells Fargo, in the cubicle right behind Hayley. After realizing that they lived in the same building, cheered for the same NFL team (go Pats!), and frequented the same local dive bar (RIP Old Gin Mill), these two curly-haired ladies became inseparable! Always adventurous (and super organized), Jess is the best partner-in-crime for new experiences, including season tickets to traveling Broadway shows, girls' trips to Charleston, and taking on two Spartan races! Most likely to host a wild, Tiger King-themed surprise birthday party (or any over-the-top themed event)
David Alexander
Groomsman
Know Each Other From: Birth - Chase's Dad Nickname: Dabo Favorite Memory: Clemson football games/tailgates growing up, North Myrtle Beach beach trips / Sugar Shack / Georgio's / putt putt Fun Fact: Hayley actually met David a few years before she ever met Chase!
Rachel Bilskie
Bridesmaid
Hayley and Rachel first became friends through one of the other bridesmaids, Jill! Not only did they develop their own best friendship, they actually became roommates during what became known as the great SouthEnd Single Ladies Era. However, being roommates wasn’t enough for Rachel, she felt the need to take the relationship to the next level by marrying into the Hunter family through her fiance, Todd Hunter, despite there being no known relation between the two Hunter clans. Most likely to trip and smash a plate of food into the wall, despite being surprisingly athletic. (Feel free to ask her about this at the wedding)
Nick De May
Groomsman
Know Each Other From: Wells Fargo Trading Floor Nickname: Papi Chulo, Mr. Girth, Daddy Nicholas Favorite Memory: Chase and Nick recently played in a golf tournament for Barstool Classic together in Atlanta (and Chase carried him on his back to not come in last place), VEGAS (Calvin Harris, the tooth incident, Bollywood producer) Fun Fact: Nick is a frequent visitor to Las Vegas and is the first person you should call if you want to book a last minute trip to Vegas - also huge plane guy
Kelsey Dutcher
Bridesmaid
Of the bridesmaids, Kelsey and Hayley have known each other the shortest amount of time, but that has not stopped them from developing a strong friendship, rooted in a shared love of their dogs, silly selfies, and frequent happy hours. You are likely to run into them around town, or more realistically at Skiptown (the local dog park), with a glass of sauvignon blanc in hand and a dog in their laps. An amazing hostess and talented chef, Kelsey was responsible for planning the couple's surprise engagement party, which she pulled off without a hitch, completely surprising Hayley (despite Hayley's numerous attempts to figure out Chase's plans). Most likely to fully cater any event from her kitchen with more than three times the amount of food and drink required to feed the guest list
Lucas Werner
Groomsman
Know Each Other From: Wells Fargo Nickname: Lukas Verner (in a German accent) Favorite Memory: Most of them aren't fit for public consumption, but Lucas is the perfect golf buddy to nurse a hangover with on a Sunday Fun Fact: Lucas is a pretty convincing Christian McCaffrey (running back on the Panthers) doppelgänger! He and Kelsey also recently got engaged in Napa!
Jill Noblin
Bridesmaid
Jill and Hayley first met at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in a particularly difficult statistics class. However, their friendship really developed when Hayley started work at Wells Fargo in the same group as Jill. While work days were usually comprised of daily snack breaks, sarcastic jokes, and rambunctious laughter (causing co-workers to close their office doors), Jill and Hayley found ways to spend even more time together, including early morning workouts and regular sushi outings. A NJ girl at heart, Jill is never shy to give her opinion and is always a quick phone call (or an early morning text or three...) away when you need advice. Most likely to plan an amazing trip to an unexpected location around the world (can't wait for your next adventure!)
Chris Ohl
Groomsman
Know Each Other From: Charlotte Nickname: Ohl, Christopher Favorite Memory: July 4th at Papa Ohl's pool, fireworks sneak attack on Milbourn/Chole/Josiah - probably followed by Chris' photographic memory of my front door code and me waking up from a nap to Chris inside my house walking up my front stairwell Fun Fact: Sneaky good DJ. Big Nickleback guy. Don't be alarmed if you hear Photograph play a few times Friday/Saturday night.
Iggy Hunter-Alexander
Pup
As Hayley and Chase's first dog, Iggy is always the star of the show at home. She will likely not be in attendance at our wedding, but, rest assured, she will be "wiggling" with excitement at home.
