Wedding Party

Lauren Zehnder

Maid of Honor

Meet Lauren - Haley’s longest friendship! Chances are if you know Haley, you know Lauren. They met when they were just five years old - a friendship sparked by two moms who took on the brave task of being Girl Scout troop leaders. They’ve been inseparable ever since — from obsessively playing Zoo Tycoon after school as kids, to Lauren coloring Haley’s hair black (ironic now), to occasionally skipping class in Haley’s yellow Volkswagen bug just to hang out at the mall. Later, when Lauren was attending UW, Haley would drive her bug up to Seattle to hit the frat parties as the adopted AGD sister — only to head to beauty school bright and early the next morning. The memories are endless. Lauren is an absolute trailblazer — both in her career and in life. She is the life of the party, and the friend that just get’s sh*t done. She is the kind of friend that always shows up, she WILL question you if your story raises an eyebrow, but ultimately will stand by her people with a loyalty that sets the bar high. Lauren is family and Haley would not be the same person she is today without this lifelong friendship.

Charlee Aragon

Bridesmaid

Charlee, Charles, “London Girl” or “Poppet” as Haley likes to call her. The duo met when Charlee was a student at PLU and emailed Haley an inspo photo of Chrissy Teigen, asking to become a client. During her time at PLU, Charlee studied abroad in London and became known in Haley’s mind as the “London Girl.” This was the start of many nicknames to come. Fast forward — Charlee graduated with a degree in business but bravely followed her gut, pivoting to a career she knew she’d love: hairstyling. Before they knew it, Charlee was training under Haley, who was QUICKLY impressed by her natural talent, her ability to connect with people, and her incredible work ethic. Other than JT, Charlee is hands down the person Haley spends the most time with — usually laughing, speaking their own language, lifting each other up, and pushing each other to be the best versions of themselves. Charlee is the kind of friend you want in your corner — she is so dependable, loves her people hard and lives a life full of integrity.

Alicia Palermo

Bridesmaid

Alicia and Haley have been friends for nine years now — with the only regret being that they didn’t meet as little girls. Alicia is truly the yin to Haley’s yang, in both business and friendship. They share so many passions, can often finish each other’s sentences with just a look, and can talk for hours — whether it’s about light, fun things like dream vacations, arts and crafts, and cute animals, or deeper conversations about entrepreneurship, womanhood, and life lessons. There’s no doubt that young Haley and Alicia would have bonded just as fast as they did as adults. Alicia is the kind of friend who supports her people with her whole heart — from showing up as a bridal model for Haley while seven months pregnant with her second child, to being the very first person to jump on the Valentine Collective team and love it like it was her own. She is a cheerleader of a friend — the kind who will bring your name up in a room full of opportunity. Alicia is an amazing mother, a wildly compassionate human, a creative, and someone who always leaves your cup fuller than she found it.

Ashley Clausen

Bridesmaid

Meet Ashley — the bonus friend that came with meeting JT! Ashley is married to Alex, JT’s best man — and let’s just say these men have exceptional taste in strong women, because Haley and Ashley hit it off instantly. Ashley is one of a kind. She’s deeply respected in both work and life, incredibly thoughtful and loving toward her people — all while balancing the perfect mix of sass and speaking her mind. She’s the friend that Haley calls (or more often than not, voice memos) for little things like deciding what shoes to wear or to vent something so trivial, to the bigger things like — when a listening ear and solid advice are needed most. Ashley is the type of friend who checks in on her people, shows up consistently, and is so generous with her time. She and Alex have shared so many epic memories with Haley and JT — from Ash showing them around her hometown of Chicago for St. Patrick’s Day, to traveling to Italy to tour their wedding venue. And of course, a forever favorite: that same trip in 2024, when JT put a ring on it and everyone had Haley happily fooled. The two couples will be lifelong friends, and the soon-to-be Newtons feel incredibly lucky to have the Clausens in their lives.

Siobhan Chadwick

Bridesmaid & Sister-in-law

Siobhan is Haley’s new — and so loved — sister-in-law! Haley first met Siobhan back in 2024 when she and JT hosted a big Halloween party, and Ben (Haley’s brother) brought Siobhan all the way from New Zealand as “just a friend.” This behavior — both attending a party and bringing a new girl around — was very unlike Ben, so naturally… Haley loved her right away. Siobhan truly brings out the best in people. She’s so warm, witty, and genuinely good-hearted — and if you ever get the chance to try one of her Little Pies, you’re in for a serious treat. Just last year, Siobhan moved to the States, married Haley’s brother Ben, and to no surprise, blended into the Chadwick family so seamlessly. Haley has always wanted a sister, she struck out when she found out JT was an only child — but she struck gold when she gained Siobhan as a sister-in-law.

Alex Clausen

Best Man

If you know the groom, there’s a 100% chance you’ve heard a story that starts with, “So Alex and I…” and ends with, “but we probably shouldn’t talk about that.” Since meeting in college, Alex has been the groom’s ride-or-die, bad-decision consultant, and all-around partner-in-crime. Whether they’re losing golf balls on the weekend, yelling at the TV during a game, or planning their next “brilliant” adventure, these two are basically a package deal. As they've aged and become more mature (allegedly), Alex is known for having five-star tastes in just about everything — food, fashion, hotels, bourbon — you name it. It’s fair to say the groom’s taste has been permanently upgraded just by proximity.

Brandon Caldwell

Groomsman

Introduced to the groom through Alex in college, Brandon’s been a key part of the inner circle ever since. A fiercely competitive person, whether on the slopes, on the golf course, in the kitchen, or tackling home improvement projects, Brandon’s the guy who somehow manages to be annoyingly good at just about everything. Fortunately for the groom, that includes all the areas he’s not so great at — making Brandon not just a friend, but a very convenient one. While the groom was trying navigate a grocery store and pretending frozen pizza was a food group, Brandon was busy leveling up: getting married, starting a family, and becoming a full-blown adult way ahead of schedule. He’s basically the time traveler of the group, offering a living preview of what life looks like with real responsibilities (and significantly less sleep). Whether he’s sharing wise advice or trying to prove to everyone he's still got it, Brandon keeps the group grounded — and slightly terrified of what’s to come.

Chris Savio

Groomsman

Fresh out of college and just starting his career, the groom met Chris Savio when they both joined the Corporate Partnerships team of the Seattle Sounders. At 21 years old, the groom needed a boss, a mentor, and — let’s be honest — a full-time babysitter. Chris somehow managed to be all three and still made the questionable decision to hire the groom not once, but twice as their intertwined careers led to the XFL Dragons and the Seattle Mariners. Over the years, Chris has coached the groom through work challenges, life decisions, and more than a few moments that can only be described as “learning opportunities.” Through it all, he’s remained a steady presence, a trusted friend, and living proof that HR really should’ve stepped in a long time ago. Now, after more than a decade of managing, mentoring, and occasionally dragging the groom across the finish line, Chris is still around—which either says a lot about his loyalty… or his tolerance for chaos.

Ben Chadwick

Groomsman & Brother-in-law

Ben Chadwick is the bride’s brother, a software engineer at Costco, and the kind of guy who knows how to build a computer, clean a rifle, and fix a car — all before breakfast. He’s smart, steady, and low-key in all the best ways. While he’s usually the one quietly making sure things don’t go off the rails, he’s also no stranger to a good time… especially when the groom’s involved. Married, measured, and never one to show off, Ben’s the guy everyone respects — and the groom’s grateful to now call a brother, in more ways than one.

Austin Kalina

Groomsman

Austin Kalina has been in the groom’s life since junior high, which means he’s seen the full evolution — from braces and bad decisions to… slightly better decisions and better-fitting clothes. Their friendship has weathered it all: awkward teenage years, college chaos, and multiple tours of duty as roommates — arguably the ultimate test of any relationship. Having lived together both in college and after, Austin has seen the groom at his very best… and at his most aggressively level of laziness. He’s endured bizarre cooking experiments, spontaneous life plans, and late-night rants with the patience of a saint (or maybe just someone too nice to move out). Part friend, part unpaid therapist, and the only person who truly understands the deep lore of the groom’s childhood quirks, Austin isn’t just a groomsman — he’s family. The kind of family who knows all the secrets and still shows up anyway.
