Hailey & Roger
Wedding Party
Catherine Sanghera
Matron of Honor
Hailey's sister, first friend, and lifelong confidant. Catherine is the glue that holds it all together. She is cooler than the other side of the pillow and carries herself as someone you can follow and absolutely know that everything is alright. Family is very important to Catherine. So much so that she made three beautiful children with the minimal efforts of Kulbeer. Minimal efforts is also what Kulbeer provides to their Bezzerwizzer team but Cat Cell is much too gracious to admit such. Catherine is fearless, logical, and the sweetest person you will ever meet. She genuinely cares about others and is the absolute favorite of the Bride and Groom.
Will Lockhart
Best Man
Will and Hailey have been close friends since 1992 when they both attended Jack and Jill preschool. Roger and Will have been best friends since college at MTSU. On the first day of their class together, when Roger announced himself to the room and where he was from, one audible laugh could be heard with the statement "Ha, you're from Grundy". Will is the reason for this whole celebration, having introduced Roger and Hailey in 2013 during his very own engagement party. Will is Roger's closest advisor both personally and on legal matters. Will or "Zill" as he is affectionately known is always there when needed with sage advice or a cold beverage. He really is the best man.
Jane Chiulli
Bridesmaid
This Beech is effortlessly hilarious and genuinely endearing at the very same time. Even though her smile brightens every room, her safety vest tells everyone to get to the nearest exit. "Safety Warden Jane" is the epitome of a true professional. She also accomplished something Zion Williamson did not which was to graduate from Duke. Jane is naturally fierce and lives in the same area as some guy named George Washington. At this point in the paragraph Jane is already asleep; however, anyone that has had the honor to truly know her recognizes that she is their biggest cheerleader and supporter. Jane is the most kind, fun-loving, and gentle soul we could ask to be part of this special day. If loving Chick-fil-A and cupcakes are wrong, she doesn't want to be right.
Robyn Jacobs
Groomswoman
Roger's TWIN sister and lifelong bestie. Roger and Robyn were quite the duo growing up in metropolitan Tracy City, TN. They were able to find enough trouble in their small neighborhood to stay entertained which their parents didn't find as entertaining for some reason. Robyn is one minute older than her baby brother. She is much cooler than her brother in nearly every way and is the mother of two wonderful little girls. Robyn is a full time mommy who loves her job. While they are no longer inseparable as they once were, Roger and Robyn are still very close. Also, all the dudes in the wedding just aren't as cool as 'Rockin' Robyn. She is a true rock star sibling and sister-in-law.
Kaiti Jones
Bridesmaid
This Beech is fearless. Whether it is scaling a canyon in the Rio Grande or singing sultry tunes that could make Mark Wahlberg weep, she is the total package. Jones is a product of Maine but a southerner by choice providing the perfect equilibrium of true character and experience. Her understanding of people and the world gives her unmatched compassion and empathy. Her good nature and sense of fun is the archetype of someone everyone wants to be best friends with (if they are lucky). Lucky for us, Kaiti is that friend. Kaiti is a constant source of positive energy, she is reliable, and she is extraordinarily talented. Most importantly, she is always there for Hailey or anyone lucky enough to call her friend.
Anna Manning
Bridesmaid
Hailey's Sister and Roger's best spokesperson. Anna is the family member who told Hailey in 2015 that Roger liked her. She is also the reason for the season because without her Roger would have remained "WIll's Drunk Friend". Anna is the sweetest and kindest person you will ever meet even though she is an Alabama fan (who would have thought?). WWAD, Hailey thinks it at least once per day, no joke, "What Would Anna Do?", she is a role model to Hailey through her actions and her life.
Katy McWhirter
Bridesmaid
Hailey's domestic partner for life. Also known as "Horsey". This Beech is EVERYTHING! Literally, the person Hailey goes to for anything. An apt description would be that she is the universal plug that handles everything. Not only is Katy one of the most genuine humans on the planet, but she also personifies badass in her life and career. Katy has published multiple books and continues her quest to shine brighter than Casey Cep. Roger also questions whether she ghost writes for Drake. An Historian by the grace of whatever higher power, and the most perceptive person you could ever speak with, Katy is truly a shining light for anyone who has the pleasure of knowing her. If Harry Potter were a real person, they would have tied the knot... or did they?
Rachel Perkins
Bridesmaid
Affectionately known to Hailey as "Goose" (not the one from Top Gun), Rachel is the Beech who is nine years overdue on her rent. The first time Hailey met Rachel, in a class about C.S. Lewis, Hailey admired and loved Rachel's style. Her confidence, cleverness, and determination led Hailey to stay on with their sorority even though Hailey was ready to quit at the time of their first lunch date. Rachel was elected President and Hailey became etiquette chair. They have each followed one another across the country. Rachel has lived in New York and currently calls California home. No matter where she goes, you can be sure to find Hailey coming to visit. Rachel was also the first person that Roger gave the date and time of the proposal. Rachel confirmed that Hailey might say yes.
Will Ridley
Groomsman
William Talley Ridley, more commonly known as "Riddler", is one of Roger's best and closest friends. Riddler and Roger became friends in 2009 during an internship at the Tennessee State Capitol as members of the MTSU contingent. In their final year of college, they became roommates in spite of their political differences. They attended law school together in Nashville and would share yet another graduation. When Riddler isn't helping Keep America Great, he is a diligent family man and legal mind. He is also very humble. When Roger asked Riddler to be a groomsman, Will immediately said yes and continued the conversation about wedding events not even mentioning his birthday. Riddler now calls Crossville home where he is the City Attorney and foremost Parliamentarian.
Kulbeer Sanghera
Groomsman
Kulbeer, pronounced "cool beer", is Hailey's brother-in-law. While he is routinely dominating at Bezzerwizzer, it is easy to forget that his wife actually answers all of the questions correctly. If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Kulbeer, just imagine the world's most interesting man from the beer commercials. The guy has done it all and even though he is wise beyond his years (of which there have been many), his best decision was clearly becoming Hailey's brother-in-law. Kulbeer was one of the first humans to know about the proposal which is when Roger knew that he was more than a friend by association. Kulbeer is a genuine person and a true confidant. Maiṁ tuhānū bharā, bharā kahiṇa dī uḍīka nahīṁ kara sakadā.
