Sarah & Hayden
Wedding Party
Margaret Rocca
Maid of Honor
She's my tis, my sister, my best friend since she popped out of the womb in 1995. We talk every day and there isn't a person out there that knows me better than my tis (besides my future husband!). Marg lives in Chicago and, when she's not hanging out with me, you can find her biking, running, or yoga-ing around the city. She's the most competitive goofball you'll ever meet. If you don't know Marg yet, get ready to meet your new favorite person on 8/6/22!
Quinn Baker
Best Man
He's Hayden's younger brother and he's a GREAT time. Like if you need a head-bopping playlist or want to know how to throw a witchin' party, you go to Quinn. The Baker bros played football together at Northwestern, so they're real close — besties! They share tons of friends and even lived together before I came along (Hayden misses the video game camaraderie, "where we droppin' boys?"). Quinn lives .9 of a mile away from us and honestly, it's not close enough!
Mallory Schmitz
Bridesmaid
She’s been my friend since age ~3! Shoutout to our mothers, Kath and Jeanne, for introducing us at our brothers' t-ball game circa ’95. Mal and I haven’t lived in the same time zone since '09 but, through handwritten letters and dedicated IRL brewery dates, our relationship continues to get stronger and stronger each year. I ran a half marathon to be in her wedding and Mal climbed a mountain to be in mine.
Tim Hanrahan
Groomsman
He's Hayden's college roommate and teammate at Northwestern. Tim, who likes to be called Timmy/Jim/Jym/Gym, has a can-do attitude and his energy is bound to put you in a fantastic mood. Get ready to bust a move with Timmy on the dance floor all night long!
Jenny Ruenes
Bridesmaid
She’s my cousin, aka my kissin' cousin! Jenny and I are just four months apart in age and every time we see each other we have the best time ever. We love to swear, run half marathons, and kiss (did I already say this?). Jenny lives in NYC where she's helping the restaurant industry become more sustainable and resilient — how f***ing cool is that?!
Trevor Siemian
Groomsman
He's the reason we're getting married! Plz check out our home page for more details, but there would not be a 'Hayden + Sarah = LOVE' equation if it weren't for Trevor and his wife, Bo. Trevor and Hayden were roomies and played football together at Northwestern. They like to get in trouble when they're together. Trevor is a goofy guy and will make you laugh with just a look.
Ann Glennon
Bridesmaid
She’s literally the very first person I met at the University of Iowa. We met at orientation and then ended up on the same dorm floor freshman year. Now we both live in Chicago and see each other all the time. Her husband grew up next to my cousins, the Hawleys. So basically, our stars have aligned too many times for us not to be friends. Ann is small so we call her "baby."
Brandon Vitabile
Groomsman
He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Like Hayden, Brandon played center at Northwestern and his quick hands are the reason Hayden didn't see the field that often. He's well-spoken, smart, driven, and is always down for a good time. Brandon lives in Evanston and is the perfect excuse to visit Hayden's old stomping grounds (GO CATS!).
Sarah Textor
Bridesmaid
She’s my friend who I call Dar because sometimes having two Sarahs around is confusing. Dar was my roomie at Iowa and my friend from high school. She was in Delta Gamma with Maddie and Emily (I was NOT a DG) and, without her, my wedding party would be significantly smaller + way less fun. You will never meet a soul as beautiful as Dar's!
Rob Mago
Groomsman
He's Hayden's childhood friend. They also lived together in Chicago before Rob moved away to join the United States Army Special Forces. Being one of four brothers, Rob has a knack for stirring the pot. He's also perceptive, kind, and can inhale a whole bag of Jewel tortilla chips in one sitting. If you want to talk to Rob at our wedding, he'll be the one sporting the green beret on the dance floor.
Emily Puls
Bridesmaid
She’s my friend from Iowa. And we lived together in Chicago. And she’s married to my friend from high school! With this, I can honestly say that everyone I know also knows my friend Emmy. This makes life SO much more fun. Emily now lives in Boston and is absolutely crushing her career at Wayfair (DO NOT ASK HER FOR HER DISCOUNT). Taylor Swift is her best friend, and I take no offense to this.
Nick Rocca
Groomsman
He's my brother and Hayden's stat-master. Nick always wanted a brother growing up, mostly because Marg and I preferred Barbies over footballs and Mary Kate & Ashley's Mystery Mall Madness over Madden 2003. So, we're all ecstatic about Hayden's and Nick's brotherhood! Nick visits us in Chicago kinda a lot, but def not enough, and his trips always make for the best, most sports-filled weekends. I'm excited for Hayden to share a brother as genuine, hilarious, and awesome as Nick!
Maddie Klumpers
Bridesmaid
She's Mawdie! I met her at the University of Iowa and we became fast friends. In fact, I remember the night/morning (as in 2 am) we solidified our friendship over a few grilled cheeses and baby glasses of Hawkeye vodka by confirming that we'd be in each other's weddings. This was 2013 and look at us now! Mawd is witty, insightful, and better at doing makeup than you (and def me!).
Madigan Baker
Bridesmaid
She’s my future husband’s sister, A.K.A my new sis. Madigan is so not chuegy and is super good at Tiktok. We both love T-Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sandy, Brandy, and Sonny. Madigan graduated from Indiana University in 2021 and is a newish resident of Chicago. This means she basically lives at Kirkwood Bar & Grill and Café Ba-Ba-Reeba. Madigan sure keeps us young!
Sandy Rocca Baker
Flower Pup
Together, Hayden and I birthed Sandy in February 2021. She got her coloring from me, and her full-body fur from Hayden. She is a four-legged bundle of joy who loves sticks, peanut butter, and snoozing on her back like a human. Hayden and I were both extremely happy before Sandy came along, but now we cannot imagine our lives without our lil' gal!
