Sara & Aaron
Wedding Party
Kelci Coe
Matron of Honor
Kelci is Sara's sister from the same mister. Kelci is 21 months older than Sara, yet when they were in elementary school, they always tried to trick their parents by dressing alike and acting like they were each other. From dragging Sara around the neighborhood in a wagon, naked, to mocking her wining voice by saying SARA-UHHH, Kelci has taught Sara how to have thick skin (and possibly become a bit hard-headed and "feisty"). Kelci has also taught Sara how to be a woman committed to her faith, which Sara will forever be grateful for. Sara looks up to Kelci very much, and hopes one day she can emulate the strong marriage and loving family Kelci has created! Speaking of her family- her cute little daughter, Remi, is one of their flower girls!
Cory Culp
Best Man
Cory is the oldest of Aaron’s younger siblings and is an incredible football player. Aaron and Cory have always been very close because they share the same love for sports. Growing up, you would typically find Aaron and Cory throwing the football or playing basketball for hours on end in the back yard. Aaron is super proud of Cory and the man he has grown up to be. Aaron was skeptical if Cory would want to be in his wedding party, given he is still in high school and is a bit shy at times, but Cory stepped up and was thrilled to be apart of their wedding. Aaron said it is the "best feeling ever!" to have his little brother stand by his side as his best man on his special day.
Kaitlyn Boothe
Bridesmaid
Where to start.. Sara and Kaitlyn grew up together since 1st grade. They find themselves reminiscing about one of Kaitlyn's birthday parties in Elementary school, when Sara locked Kaitlyn out of her own room! Sara was a little stinker then (arguably she still is) and Kaitlyn stuck through it all. Sara took her first plane ride sans parents with Kaitlyn to Florida (still a mystery how they actually landed, given they are both extremely directionally challenged). They then traveled to Greece together, and are looking forward to more world travels! Kaitlyn is a great friend, and an absolute blessing in Sara and Aaron's lives. She would give anyone the shirt off her back (if she had an undershirt on, because she is a bit shy hahaa). They are very thankful for her friendship and support!
Jacob Coe
Groomsman
Jake is Sara’s Brother-in-Law and Kelci’s husband. Jake and Aaron have always bonded over sharing the same interest of building things. They somehow both got wrapped into helping Chris, Sara's father, with projects around his house. Jake and Aaron also played on a softball team with the Haydocy’s and were very dominant. Jake is a great father to Remi (one of our flower girl's) and hopes he can emulate some of his parenting qualities one day if Aaron and Sara have children. Aaron also looks up to Jake's strong faith in God and role of provider for his family.
Amy Haydocy
Bridesmaid
Amy is Sara's sister from another mister (or more formally, sister-in-law). She is thought of as a public servant in the Haydocy family, as she did something they thought no one ever would do- marry Sara's brother, Cory.... :-P Just messing with you, Cory! But for real, Amy is really a public servant as she does something I could never do- teaches 2nd grade! Amy is a sweet, extremely caring, down to earth gal that is always there for Sara when she needs it. She is also good at keeping things in check for us crazy Haydocy's! Why she chose to become apart of our family is a mystery, but I am sure glad she did! Amy has been very involved with helping prepare for the wedding meanwhile tending to her little girl, (and our flowergirl!) Zoey.
Cory Haydocy
Groomsman
Cory is Sara’s older brother and Amy’s husband. Cory and Aaron have always gotten along well, and share a common interest in sports (especially baseball and football). Cory and Aaron played softball together and when both of them were on the field together- there wasn’t a chance the other team was winning. They also share a love for Elvis Juice; for those of you that don't know, it’s a great beer made by Brewdog. Over the years, Aaron has enjoyed getting to spend time with Cory and his family (including sweet Zoey, one of our flowergirls!) and can’t wait to call him his Brother-in-Law!
Audrey Mowery
Bridesmaid
Audrey and Sara have been friends since freshman year of high school, when they were on the same softball team. Sara had a few classes with Audrey, and their friendship blossomed immediately. From going to numerous concerts, to Sara giving Audrey a black eye, to Sara screaming a la mode at an OSU dining hall, to reciting a line from Grind over and over (Audrey, you know the one!), Audrey and Sara sure have shared a lot of memories together. Audrey has been a constant friend in Sara's life, and Sara can always go to her when she needs advice- whether it be beauty, clothes, music, or crabbing about drama.. Audrey is always ready to listen or help in any way that she can!
Thomas Linger
Groomsman
Thomas and Aaron have been friends for seven years. They met at Jiffylube, where they were both employees. They quickly found out that they had a lot in common. They loved working on cars and messing around like goof balls all day at work. The thing Aaron remembers most about Thomas while working at Jiffylube is the infamous game of socket toss they would play in the parking lot. Over the years, Aaron and Thomas have grown closer and both considered each other family. Aaron is very thankful to have Thomas with him on this special day, and cannot wait to see the humor Thomas brings with him!
Olivia Kellman
Bridesmaid
Oh Olivia.. where to begin. Olivia is full of energy, love, and is always so quick to go to battle for Sara. She is a true Chicagoan, through and through! Olivia and Sara met in college at a Habitat for Humanity retreat. They eventually lived together, and shared a lot of fun (and some unspeakable!) moments. Some notable memories are the police chase in Georgia, going out to bars at UD (go Flyers!), getting cocktails overlooking Chicago, and taking Olivia on her first "glamping" RV camp trip! Sara will forever be grateful for Olivia's friendship, as she definitely earned some best friend points for driving to Columbus multiple times to celebrate Sara throughout 2019.
Juan Segura
Groomsman
Juan is one of Aaron’s best friends. They met at Autozone where Juan was Aaron’s boss. However, after several conversations and laughs, they became very close. They have gone to Roosters for guys night probably a hundred times haha. It is safe to say that Aaron and Juan love Roosters (especially their wings!) but Aaron loves the company more. Aaron has loved the great conversations and wisdom Juan has brought into his life. Juan has been a very stable, consistent friend that is always there for Aaron if he needs it. Aaron is very excited to have Juan by his side, and knows he will bring a special flare to the wedding.
Kaden Dyas
Bridesman
Kaden has been one of Sara's friends since high school. He was a grade younger than Sara, so naturally he looked up to Sara (figuratively and literally haha!). Just kidding! But honestly, Kaden has been a great influence in Sara's life. He has a spontaneous, positive outlook on life and him and Sara always find something fun to get into. Kaden is an avid rock climber, which Sara has taken a liking to (she's not very good, but she tries). They share a ton of memories from when they were younger, like when they were in photography class and they had to take pictures of barns, to when they were in painting class together and they painted each other's faces. They were also in graphics ed together.. I see a theme.. Kaden is very artsy, and Sara tries to be artsy!
