Haley & Philip
Wedding Party
Samantha Bearden
Maid of Honor
Samantha is Haley's younger and favorite(only) sister. She usually just goes by "Sam," but that is boring so some other nicknames she loves being called are "Shirley" and "Sami Sosa." So to all our guests reading this, make sure to call her by one of her many nicknames. She is hilarious and if you do not already know her you will first hear her before you see her because her laugh is infectious but deafening. #circleoftrust
Ashton Pope
Best Man
Ashton and Philip have been best friends since the 6th grade. They played soccer together for 7 years in grade school and have remained great friends while they attended separate colleges (NC State and Clemson).
Lucy Jennings
Bridesmaid
Funny story: Haley was friends with Lucy before Philip. For those of you that do not know, Lucy is Philips younger sister. Haley and Lucy played basketball with each other in high school, which is how they first met. Haley considers Lucy a best friend and a sister: A Clemson, Michigan State, Lululemon, Lily Pulitzer, Margarita, and Taylor Swift loving friend/sister. Haley can always count on Lucy for clever Instagram captions, and to give wardrobe advice for any occasion. Lucy is both Haley & Philips personal stylist!
Nash Newberry

Jaime Lane

Jaime and Haley first met in Kindergarten at Hickory Grove Christian School. Jaime and Haley were 2 out of 3 "Three Musketeers." That is what their teachers called them growing up because they were inseparable.

Haley can always count on Jaime for the inside scoop of ANY drama, anywhere, at any time.
Jake Combs
Groomsman
Jake and Philip met working for Clemson Softball and quickly became great friends! They could always be found on the golf course with the softball coaching staff or at Four Paws for dollar Blue Moon night (RIP to a great establishment)!
Emily Weimer
Bridesmaid
Haley and Emily first met while pursuing their Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from South College. Emily is from Lexington, KY. The two became best friends while in the program and the perfect pair to vent to one another about the struggles of graduate school. While trying to stay sane during school, the two took MANY shopping trips together and tried to keep "coffee runs" to only once a day...which only allowed their friendship to grow and their bank accounts to shrink.
Stephen Jorgensen

Stephen is Philip's cousin and the two have shared a special bond since childhood. Stephen being older than Philip as always been someone that Philip has looked up to! The two share a love for golf and everything Michigan State and Detroit sports!
Kaitlyn Hammonds
Bridesmaid
Haley considers Kaitlyn and Ashley sisters more than friends. Haley, Sam, Kaitlyn, and Ashley have all known each other since birth. The four of them were always together especially in the summers where they would have week long sleepovers. As the 4 have grown up, they are not able to see each other as often due to busy schedules, but when they all get together they pick up right where they left off.
Tyler Rogers
Groomsman
Tyler and Philip met as freshman at Clemson in a forestry class that neither of them should have been taking but they were freshman and they didn't know any better! They became great friends suffering though that class together! Tyler could always be found at Nash and Philip's apartment or dorm hanging out, playing video games, or watching a Clemson sporting event!
