Bridesmaid
Martha and Hayley met in high school art class. Hayley would eavesdrop on Martha's exciting conversations and quickly found out Alissa had actually met her and they had plans to go to the mall! After Hayley's initial jealousy went away Martha became a beloved bff in the group. She is a brilliant and caring human. A natural leader driven by a solid moral compass.
Bridesmaid
Jenny and Hayley grew on the same street in Plymouth, MN. They became close friends after starting volleyball and playing on the same team. In fact, they had so much fun that their coach recommended they join separate teams if they were serious about volleyball. Jenny graduated college early and came to live with Hayley in Chicago before they moved to NE Minneapolis with the rest of the "fivemind."
Bridesmaid
Alissa and Hayley spent every waking minute together from 3rd grade to senior year. They survived puberty together, went on multiple international trips and now own houses across the street from each other. Alissa has always felt like "home" to Hayley. She is full of warmth, hidden talents and the occasional-unexpected-never-gonna-forget-it-sidesplitting-jokes of all time. Hayley and Alissa have the kind of friendship where they could spend decades apart and still know they were bffs4life.
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Hayley met in kindergarten. If you know Shelby you know that she is friendly and kind. They became fast friends and Hayley would ask her Mom to call the school every year so that she could be in the same class with Shelby. Shelby thought this was a wonderful coincidence until Hayley told her years later. Shelby and Hayley have a common love of design, hula hooping, plants & animals. Shelby has a wonderful way of bringing peace and words of comfort to those around her. And she will always let you know what you were doing 3 years ago today.
Groomsman
Cal, a close friend of the groom and a man of many talents, recently built (from scratch) the nicest raised garden beds on his block. Then he installed them in the front yard of his busy corner lot and filled them with onions.
Groomsman
Mike is maybe the best home cook in Minneapolis. He's also the life of every party until he inevitably disappears to feed a sourdough starter, peek his head into a show for a blip, or find a rare pair of pants.
Best Man
Mitch's best sibling learned how to rollerblade backwards at a very young age. Mitch never learned how to skate backwards and spent all his time at Skateland drinking slushies and eating nachos instead.
Groomsman
Mitch moved to Minneapolis because Krosby told him to do it, and Mitch got over his nerves and asked Hayley out on a first date because Krosby told him to do it. For those that don't yet know Krosby; he's ready to make a strong impression.
Officiant
Matt Anderson is Hayley's older brother, a former farmer and now a devout geological officiant engineer. Hayley's competitive nature comes from Matt, as well as her love of video games, electronic music and toilet comedy. Matt first showed Hayley how to make videos and stop-motion, later becoming her passion and then career. He has a beautiful wife named Stephanie and two adorable sons, Charlie & William.
