Wedding Party
Kelsey Swafford
Maid of Honor
I am Hannah’s favorite twin sister. From countless movie dates to sissy days to reading marathons, we have created some of the best memories one can ask for! Han and I have been inseparable since conception (literally) and I don’t know any better person. When Keaton came into our lives, you could just see that this boy was someone different than anyone Hannah had ever met! They just fit each other and it’s so amazing seeing how much they’ve grown as a couple in these past 5 years. I can’t wait for more to come!! I love you both so much and let’s do this thang!
Rachel Sproul
Bridesmaid
Hi, my name is Rachel Sproul. I am Hannah’s older and taller(est) sister. When Hannah and I get along, everyone has a great time but if we are on opposite ends, it’s World War III. We challenge each other for the better and although Hannah is my younger sister, she is also one of my idols with how strong, responsible, and loyal she is to those she loves. I currently live in Caldwell, KS about 50 miles south of Wichita with my husband, two kids, and 5 dogs. Hannah became an aunt because of me and therefore I am the favorite sister.
Amanda De Los Santos
Bridesmaid
My name is Amanda and I am Hannah’s oldest sister. We have so many happy memories together, from concerts, to weekend brunch, going to the gym, to walks with our doggies Luna and Riley. Hannah has such a beautiful soul, and truly so much love for her friends and family. Keaton has shined a new wonderful light on Hannah’s life, and she glows every time he’s around. Hannah has such a unique personality and I know by now Keaton knows what he has in store for their future. 🤣 I can’t wait for their special day, and the wonderful future ahead. Love you guys!
Aleena Simonds
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Hanny since the 3rd grade although we weren’t friends till high school!!! We stayed together through college and got even closer and have remained best friends through all the ups and downs! I met Keaton through Han and have enjoyed getting to know him and watch these two build something truly wonderful. You can truly see how much love they have for one another! Can’t wait for the big day 💗
Britta Kindel
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Britta graduated from Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School together, and they were lucky enough to become best friends after college. Britta has known Keaton since college as he is one of her husband’s best friends, and she could not imagine a better soulmate for him than Hannah. The four have traveled together to so many places (Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and Toronto), creating incredible and lifelong memories. Still, one of their favorite places to go together is the lake, and they go every chance they can (along with their dogs Luna and Tito, of course)! Britta and Hannah’s weekends are filled with constant laughter and staying up way too late! There is never a dull moment when the two are together, and they always find themselves on a new adventure. Hannah is among the kindest, most encouraging, and loyal friends you can find. Her support of family and friends is one of a kind. Britta can’t believe she is lucky enough to have Hannah in her corner for life, and she can’t wait to celebrate the future Mrs. Hannah Hale!
Erin Coen
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I go all the way back to blessed sacrament grade school. From creating a signature handshake in 7th grade to sharing a locker in high school, we’ve always found a way to have fun and make eachother laugh. I had the honor of knowing Keaton throughout college and although we haven’t developed a signature handshake, he is a great friend. These two are perfectly matched and I can’t wait for June 8th ♥️
Grace Gearhart
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Han since we were in kindergarten and our friendship probs blossomed from me pinching her then to us being bffs in 1st-2nd grade. We were inseparable, “friendship” feels like not enough- she is truly a sister & I love that we get to do all our lives together. So little people can make me laugh like han does. as for Keaton, he’s the little home wrecker that came in and stole my sister and is whisking her away to Salina 🙄 I’ll get over it eventually maybe, Keaton, if you give me some more nieces or nephews soon!!! 😏
Gabby Grause
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I have been best friends since kindergarten, which means I’ve been blessed to be by her side and to have her by my side through many of life’s most wonderful, and sometimes difficult, stages—from dominating the four square court together, to our awkward glasses, braces, and slicked-back ponytail phases, a few other awkward hairstyles, overnight summer camps, countless pools days, middle school crushes, high school shenanigans, breakfasts at the Beacon, nursing school and law school, my wedding and first baby, and now, Hannah and Keaton’s wedding. I am so excited and honored to be part of their special day, and even more so, to love and support them going forward in their marriage and future family!
Mada Burnett
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I met when we were around 8 years old through mutual family friends while I was visiting Wichita. We went to the movies and watched Aquamarine! Flash forward to college we were reunited by fate and immediately became best friends! We went through nursing school together where we became the best study buddies and basically inseparable. Hannah and her family are so welcoming and loving. We have spent countless trips, holidays & major life events together over the past 9 years. I was protective of Hannah when I first met Keaton, but once they started dating and we got to know each other I knew he fit right in with the silly gang and they make each other so happy. I am so lucky to know the bride and groom and stand next to them on their wedding day!
Maddie Bean
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Maddie! I have been lucky to be Hannah’s friend for the past 5 years and am so honored to be there for her and Keaton on their wedding day. Hannah and I met years ago through her sister, Amanda, and we have had the opportunity to grow closer over the years; during which she was falling in love with her future husband! I think we all believe that Keaton is the luckiest guy on the planet, but it’s not hard to see how truly loved our Hannah is. I couldn’t be more happy for these two amazing people!
Mary O’Connor
Bridesmaid
I have known Hannah since freshman year of high school. We had math class together with Miss Rhonda and we became bffs later that year. We’ve been with each other through many ups and downs and it’s been the most fun the times we’ve been together!! Some trouble and some mischief but I would def not have it any other way!! I have known Keaton since our K-state days. He always got me and Erin mixed up lol but I won’t give him too much trouble since he wasn’t the only one. Little did I know I would move back home to Wichita and Hannah and Keaton would find their way to each other here!! I am so excited and honored to be a part of this most special day!!!!
Chad Pauly
Best Man
Keaton and I first met freshman year at Kstate. We quickly became inseparable over our love for Kstate sports, wild adventures, and anything but studying. Our bond has only grown over the years and we can now even call each other Yankie Run neighbors. Keaton is now my family's favorite son but we all love Hannah more.
Oliver Kindel
Groomsman
Keaton and Oliver met at Kansas State University in the Beta Fraternity house. In Beta, they became quick friends. Keaton was such a cool guy that Oliver eventually changed his major to Milling Science to hang out with Keaton more often. Oliver and Hannah have been friends since Kindergarten at Blessed Sacrament. Oliver's two worlds collided when Hannah and Keaton started dating. Over the last couple of years, Oliver and his wife Britta have been able to spend loads of time with both Keaton and Hannah traveling and spending time at their favorite lake, Lake Kahola. Keaton is among the most hard-working and loyal friends you can find. His willingness to be there at the drop of a pin to help in any situation is inspiring. Oliver can’t believe he is lucky enough to have both Keaton and Hannah in his life, and he can’t wait to celebrate the future Mr. And Mrs. Hale!
Alex Mills
Groomsman
I met Hannah when we were knee-high years old. Then later in life I met Keat up in Wildcat Country. It wasn't long before we found ourselves engrossed in the art of smoking meat. While we did that we also enjoyed tossing frisbees, bags, and occasionally a wedge.
Matt Loveland
Groomsman
Matt lived with Keaton for 2 years after college and helped Keaton grow into the scratch golfer he is today. Matt and Keaton enjoy their "civil" K-State vs. KU rivalry.
Justin Coen
Groomsman
Keaton and I became friends during our time at K-State when we were in the same pledge class at Beta Theta Pi. We bonded over our love of burgers and fries. We lived together throughout college and shared a place in Wichita after graduation. We continue to bond over golf, K-State football, weight lifting, and being frugal.
Chuck Balkenbusch
Groomsman
Keaton and I met our freshman year at Kansas State University at Beta Theta Pi, and we then roomed with each other for the majority of our time there. I fondly remember all our snowboarding trips out to Colorado, dove hunting, trips for K State games, and weekends at the lake. We also never missed an opportunity to try and build something and show off our manly skills, of which Keaton is certainly superior to myself. After 10 + years of friendship and laughs, I am honored to stand by Keaton and celebrate him and Hannah on their special day.
Adam Mounivong
Groomsman
I met Keaton during high school and we have shared many memories. From keggers to helping him work in his dad's shop, he has become like a brother to me. Although our lives keep us busy, we always pick up where we left as if nothing has changed.
Aaron Diederich
Groomsman
Aaron and Keaton are life long friends that spent their early childhood summers at the Country Club pool, riding bikes, golfing and plenty of mischief.
Drew Diederich
Groomsman
Drew and Keaton are life long friends that spent their early childhood summers at the Country Club pool, riding bikes, golfing and plenty of mischief. Keaton gave a speech a Drew and Taylor's wedding which was an impactful experience that cemented the importance of their lifelong friendship.
