With A Little Help From Our Friends

Delaney Loprieno

Maid of Honor

Affectionately referred to as "Sis," Delaney is my little sister and my best friend in the world. We have done everything together for as long as I can remember: playing Polly's together as kids, playing soccer and running together in middle and high school, and now attending fancy dinners together as adults. There was never any question in my mind - or the mind of anyone else who has ever met us, for that matter - that Sis was going to be my Maid of Honor, and I am so incredibly thankful to have her right next to me.

Lucas Ziebart

Best Man

My younger and only brother... and best friend for life! I've known Luke his whole life, and even though we fought like brothers from time to time in our teenage years, since high school we've only gotten closer and closer. From kicking the soccer ball together in the back yard as kids, to all the late night video game sessions, to visiting each other and partying together in our respective cities, I'll love ya forever lil brother.

Sarah "Little S" Poirier

Bridesmaid

Little S (shortened from Little Sarah, a name she was given her freshman year at MU because there were 4 Sarah's on our track team and she was the shortest) may be younger than me by a year and shorter than me by a foot, but there is no one I look up to more as a human being. She has been my little spitfire best friend since the day she came on her recruiting visit to Marquette in the winter of 2012. She is the funniest, silliest, smartest, kindest, most badass person I have ever met and I am so thankful our friendship has stood the test of time and distance as she has traveled all over the country for med school and the Air Force and most recently her residency.

Matthew Mayer

Best Man

Since meeting in kindergarten in Ms. Bocher's class, Matt and I have been best friends for life and almost brothers. Constant hang-out sessions, sleepovers, family gatherings, and snowboard trips made us the best of friends in our younger years, and moving to different states couldn't keep us apart as we've kept our friendship strong throughout the years. You've been my best friend for 26 years and I can't wait for the next 26 years. Matt was an easy choice to be my best man.

Kenzie Imig

Bridesmaid

Kenzie and I met our freshman year at Marquette and, if I had never met Jake, Kenzie would be the love of my life. There is no one else whose opinion I value more. There is no one else who understands the struggle of running/being healthy vs treating myself/eating and drinking everything in sight more. There is no one else who loves as fearlessly and fiercely as Kenzie and am so thankful to have had that love directed my way for the past 11 years.

Matthew "Sav" Savage

Groomsman

Sav and I met in high school as the best Pole Vaulters Homestead High School had seen in 15 years, and we constituted the entirety of the Varsity Men's Pole Vault team. We became very close friends after attending pole vault camp together, then Sav had to go off to college, where I followed - the University of Minnesota Twin Cities together. There we started partying together, coaching together and later on, living together. Although we forewent living together to live our respective fiancees recently, you are still one of my best friends, and we still hang out and coach together.

Mady Mayer

Bridesmaid

If you are going to be best friends with Kenzie, you kind of get her twin sister Mady as a package deal - and I couldn't be more thankful for that. Mady has brought so much adventure and adrenaline to my life: rock climbing, slack lining, kayaking, biking while dressed as Santa, playing Catan...The list goes on and on. We could be cooking up some delicious food in the kitchen, building a giant Harry Potter castle out of Legos, or just lounging on the couch, talking while the boys watch basketball and it always feels like the time of my life when Mady is around.

Kyler Vossen

Groomsman

Kyler and I met living on the same floor of Middlebrook dorms freshman year and became fast friends. After that, we decided to live together with 4 other friends at 1012 26th Ave in the Como neighborhood of Minneapolis for a few years in college. During that time we shared so many good times, often resulting in late nights at the expense of our grades. We had a habit of visiting Kyler's parents for Willmar weekends as a crew and those went about how you would expect. Love ya buddy.

Julia (Jules) Batemon

Bridesmaid

Hales and Jules met their freshman year at Marquette and were basically inseparable for the following 7 years. There is no one who knows me better than Jules - when I called her after my first trip out West with Jake and told her I thought I had a crush on him, she just said "duh, I've known that for years." We might fight like sisters sometimes (most of the time), but at the end of the day she is the first person I turn to and is always there for me, whether I need to talk or just grab a drink.

Zach "Chewy" Carter

Groomsman

Similarly to Kyler, I also met Zach (Chewy) living on the same floor of our freshman dorms, and subsequently lived at 1012 together for a few years. When Chewy moved out after college and got a job at Epic in Madison, I followed suit. After a weird series of events with a Chew's previous roommate, we ended up renting our an apartment together right off the downtown square that was way too nice for us, affectionally known as the Baskerville. We had many good times together at the "B" - from parties, to late night talk sessions.

Mercedez Kennedy Schneider

Bridesmaid

Mercedez is my oldest friend. We immediately hit it off at cross country practice in 7th grade - 17 years ago! We have been through everything together: the middle school awkward phase, Debut, figuring out who we are in high school, Fearless, going to college and being on our own, away from our family and friends, Speak Now, turning 21 and learning how to be free, 1989, falling in love and getting engaged, Lover, Red (Taylor's Version), Midnights. We have been through a lot together, but Taylor Swift albums have always been and will always be at the center of our friendship.💚💛💜❤💙🖤💕🤎🤍💛❤🌙

Alex Mayer

Groomsman

I met Alex in high school where we always sat at the same lunch table. Flash forward to all these years later, and we still hang out all the time, watching the Bucks win the NBA Finals, late nights at 12th street, Santa Rampages, camping trips and mountain bike trips. Can't wait for some hot summer days on the boat with ya!

Cailey Kelley

Bridesmaid

Cailey moved to Huntley the summer before our Sophomore year of high school. She joined the cross country team and we immediately hit it off due to our obsession with the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. While her running career didn't last long, our friendship sure did. My dad likes to say that, before I met Cailey, I just sat in my room, did my homework, and ran, and that Cailey "made me fun." I really can't argue with that logic. Cailey has been with me through everything and I can't imagine getting married without my nest friend, my bffaeae, my twin in the mind, the Demi to my Selena, and the most fun person I have ever met.

Luke Loprieno

Groomsman

Luke is Haley's baby brother who is no longer quite a baby. Growing up with two sisters probably wasn't the most fun, but Haley and Luke bonded over Call of Duty, inheriting their dad's sense of humor, and enjoying a beer every now and then. Luckily Jake fits into these things perfectly as well, and Luke is glad to finally get an official brother!

Abbey Brown

Bridesmaid

Abbey is Haley's cousin - one of the infamous Papa's-6-Pack! - but she might as well be the third Loprieno sister due to how close we all are. Growing up 5 minutes from each other as kids helped, but years of Country Thunder and Summerfest concerts together as adults might have helped more. She took after Delaney in a lot of ways, like her soccer skills and her career in the medical field, but she took after me for the most important thing: her love for Miley Cyrus.

Mitchell Konieczny

Groomsman

I met Mitch in college when he saved the 1012 crew from an awful roommate situation and agreed to live with us to our delight. We bonded over a love of music including our vinyl record collections, and quickly became great friends. During the 1012 tenure, I introduced Mitch to his now wife Susan, who also happens to be Matt's sister - so Mitch and I are basically brothers! I look forward to more All Fantasy Everything shows and fancy dinners with ya man!

Hannah Wendt

Bridesmaid

Hannah, the better-looking half of H Squared, is the big sister I never had. I have been learning little lessons from Hannah ever since she hosted me on my Marquette recruiting visit: for running, to always run an extra mile on the cool down. For studying, to hunker down with headphones and lots of snacks. While we were roommates, she taught me to clean as you go while cooking, and that sometimes you just need a bowl of ice cream at night. And now that she has become the best mom in the world to Rae, it is obvious that I still have SO much more to learn from her.

Taylor Willoughby

Groomsman

Taylor and I met in Toronto on a customer trip while working for Epic. I noticed him and Ryan drinking 1/2 off wine at dinner and they seemed to be the only people on the team having fun, so obviously I had to join in. After a few late nights at the "B" we quickly became friends. Later on we even bought a boat together and had so many fun times on it at 3 foot bay - I can't wait to be invited onto your future bigger, newer boat!

Sarah Mayer

Bridesmaid

Sarah and I became fast friends when I joined Marquette's cross country team my freshman year. There were very few weekends that didn't end in a sleepover at her apartment and a hungover Sunday long run. Fast forward a few years and there were very few weekends that didn't end in a dinner date or Packers party with Sarah and her husband, Matt. Sometimes Matt brought along his best friend Jake. Sarah has been on team Jake & Haley since day 0 and is absolutely one of the biggest reasons we found each other, so while she is standing on my side she is really up there for both of us!

Trish Barton

Groomswoman

I met Trish on my first day living in Madison and we are still great friends to this day! We did everything together and soon formed what would become a large Madison friend group. Although some folks moved, left, or dropped out of the group - we remained the sole original members, and we're pretty happy with where the group is at nowadays. So many fun times on the lake, stopping at Christy's bar, the yacht club and at the "B"! (P.S. sorry Myla can't be at the wedding, Haley said no)
