Hayley Grace & Henry
Wedding Party
Sydney Nicole Dewey
Maid of Honor
Sydney and Hayley Grace met through their mothers at 5 & 6 years old and have been inseparable ever since. When they were younger, they would make up dances and create silly videos to share with the family, went to their first concert together (No Doubt & Paramore), stuck with each other through awkward middle school phases and supported one another through hardships of high school mean girls and heartbreaks. Their relationship is more so sisters than friends. They have been dreaming of being in each others weddings their whole life and now it is becoming reality.
Rebecca Ross Joffre
Bridesmaid
Becca and Hayley Grace are cousins and best friends. Although they have always lived far apart, they supported each other in every phase of life through facetime dates and always keeping each other in the know. They would look forward to holidays and special trips where they were able to reunite. The distance never hindered their relationship and love for one another. They would talk about their weddings often growing up and always knew they would be by each others side on their special day. They are both getting married in 2024, fulfilling their childhood dreams.
Dylan Ross Taylor
Bridesmaid
Dylan is Hayley Grace's sister and although they are 4 years a part, she has always made HG feel included. They used to goof around A LOT, such as recording themselves singing Black Eyed Peas on her digital camera and once had a paint fight which ended in full destruction of their outdoor playground and washing off in their pool, turning the water brown. They share common interests such as live music, animals and art.
Lora Beth Heiman
Bridesmaid
LB and HG met freshman year of college, but feel like they have been friends forever. They have never cared of others opinions of them, always acting very goofy in public and dressing in their own unique and authentic way. Some of their favorite memories together are being roommates in 2022, going to Bonnaroo, many camping excursions and watching an insane amount of reality TV while eating homemade popcorn on the couch. Lora Beth has been such a light in Hayley Grace's life and is so lucky to call her a best friend.
Mallory Ciesla
Bridesmaid
Mallory and Hayley Grace have been friends for 5 years and share unlimited similarities. Aside from their appearance, they both love a night out dancing, early 2000's music, getting ready together and shopping. One of their favorite bonding activities is attending LEAF festival each October and May, which quickly became a tradition after Mallory ditched her ex boyfriend to bring HG along back in 2021. They like to trick people into thinking they're cousins (they really are) and are never shy to speak their minds.
Carrigan Grow
Bridesmaid
Carrigan is one of Hayley Grace's closest friends from high school. They became friends after a trip to Colorado, which brought HG closer to the Lord. Carrigan never shies away from talking about Jesus, which is something that HG never had in a friend before. Their bond grew as they began playing on their school lacrosse team together and then visiting each other in college. They would sing karaoke, dance under rainbows and have long talks about the future and what it could possibly have in store for them. Although it was unclear, they always knew they would be by each others side.
Jenna Aschenbrenner
Bridesmaid
Jenna and HG became friends in 2018 after ditching their junior year prom dates to hangout with each other. They lived on the same street in college in the heat of covid-19, hanging out everyday into the late night talking about absolutely everything. They have shared secrets and stories that only they know. They have cried, laughed and been by each others side through various ups and downs. Who knows where the two of them would be without each other and thank goodness they will never have to find out.
Megan Kephart
Bridesmaid
Kepy and Hayley Grace met through their sorority and after their first conversation, HG knew they were destined to be friends. They ended up signing a lease together after only a couple months of knowing each other, which created endless memories. Throwing disco parties, having sleepovers in each others room, sharing clothes, visiting each others home towns and best of all, travelling to Atlanta to see the one and only Taylor Swift. Kepy is kind, loving and goofy and has always treated HG like a sister and Henry like a brother. This is only the beginning of their lifelong friendship.
Alli Smith
Bridesmaid
Alli and Hayley Grace created a bond during a very difficult season in both of their lives. Their junior year, HG spent most of her days at Alli's house having baking days, homework dates and bingeing reality TV shows. Fast forward a year later, both of them had found the light at the end of the tunnel and encourage each other to shine their brightest. They often go to their favorite brewery, AMB, are always first to sign up for karaoke, send each other hundreds of memes, and text every day about random updates. They make funny videos and keep it real with each other. A friendship made in heaven.
Mary Ellen Bradford
Bridesmaid
Mary Ellen and Hayley Grace met through the Bradfords and are soon to be sister-in-laws. They are both Swifties, value family time and have a very similar sense of humor. HG looks up to Mary Ellen for her Grace, passion and best of all, quickness to put people (the Bradford boys) in their place when needed. They became close on a family trip to Philadelphia, where they visited the Zoo, Art Museums and drank wine on rooftops. They can't wait to be sisters and create many more memories together.
Madeline Yates
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Hayley Grace are both becoming brides in 2024 only a month apart. Madeline is marrying HG's brother, Hayden, and HG could not have chosen a more wonderful woman to be joining her family. They first met on a trip to Disney, where Maddie learned the weird Taylor traditions, such as fake falling around the park and talking too loud on purpose, in which she welcomed with open arms. They both value relationships, loyalty and adventure. They are excited to share this engagement journey together and look forward to their friendship blossoming.
