Wedding Party
Mae Hynes
Maid of Honor
The best little sister and friend a girl could ask for...Thanks for letting me dress you up in amazing outfits and forcing you into photo shoots. Thanks for still loving me after turning the lights on while you sleep, and habitually tripping on every loud object in the room. Thanks for inspiring me to hike, teaching me what churning is, and convincing me to try yoga challenges and 100 mile bike-rides... Mainly, thanks for always having my back no matter what and for our hour long phone talks! Luv you always Mazie!!!
Adham McIver
Best Man
Do not mess with Adham if you are a deer, or he will shoot you with an arrow. ALso, Adham is the man.
Maika Hemphill
Bridesmaid
Maika is Sarah's long time friend, from their freshman year of high school; they met at age 14 during JV soccer. Through SGA, track days, and countless Bivalve and Salisbury adventures, the shenanigans haven't stopped since. My Honda mirror also thanks you for our friendship...idk how I ever would have survived hs or hs breakups without you! And thank you for the gift of perpetual youth, as I always feel like my teenage self as soon as you're around!:) You continue to be more like family than a friend! xoxo always!!
Matthew McIver
Groomsman
Matthew the wise...if you need any wisdom, concert tickets, or hiking advice...Matthew is your guy. Also, don't eat his left over chicken wings, or he will be sad.
Katrin Tolson
Bridesmaid
The stars aligned when Katrin's family was chosen for Sarah's year of exchange work in PY. They were both 18 when they met and had no idea that they were in for a life-long friendship with much hilarity, rom-com movies, dance trips to secrets, and amazing language mishaps. Katrin will always look fondly on Sarah's medical translation career, and "booty rocking everywhere" will forever bring them back to the good ol' days where no one needs shoes to go to J.Hynes Inc. Love you Sis number two!
Nicholas McIver
Groomsman
Nicholas enjoys sailboats and pointing at things. Do not challenge him to any competitions about military history facts or football plays or you will be schooled.
Miriam Lamagna
Bridesmaid
Luckily Sarah no longer wears santa hats around tropical countries and Miriam has gotten better at pose-smiling since this picture was taken. And it is a good thing Sarah has found Cy because Sarah never quite mastered the dive-and-roll technique that Miriam has coached her as a get-away-from-unwanted-suitor-strategy for years. They met as 19 year olds at the grand and glorious WJU, due to an impressive speech about eels. And not only is Miriam one of Sarah's favorite humans alive but she taught her that military guys are better than hippies, Cy you should thank her for this. Oh did I mention that I love you to pieces Mir!?! My Wheeling sister for life.
Jarod Ramses
Groomsman
Watch out for Jared, because he will look better than you in a Babushka, and run circles around you on the soccer field. He also plays a very convincing Avalon villain at Christmas parties.
Ciera Preer
Bridesmaid
Ciera and Sarah met during WJU track at age 20, and thank sweet baby Jesus, because Sarah was feeling quite “over” the 14-hour-track-bus-trips until Ciera came along to add some fun #finally. Now 10-mile-Sunday-runs, ice baths, sprint work-outs, and douchy lacrosse boys didn’t seem so bad! While Ciera’s mother will remember Sarah as “the girl who ate chicken wings off her plate” and Ciera will never forget the time Mrs. Hynes accidentally forgot to turn on the upstairs heat & they slept in a meat-freezer all night…C and Sarah continue to love forgetting their IDs everywhere they go, accidentally ordering $30 pitchers of sangria and blaming it on Freddy, and trying to trick Penny and Squid into being best friends... Ohio to DC to Balt to TN & back! U've always been there for me! Luv U girL!
Dan Kurtz
Groomsman
Dan is very suspicious of candles, which you can see from this photo. And we are also very happy to have Dan as a groomsman so that we can start studying up on our McIver-Kurtz football plays for next year (Sarah can now officially switch)...If you need to find Dan, just look for the freakishly adorable baby that he will most likely be holding or close to. He and Adham will have to duke it out over who's babies are cuter.
Jen Bradham
Bridesmaid
Jen and Sarah became friends in Charleston, SC at age 21 when Sarah realized that even though Jen was tiny she was the sassiest Spanish-yelling soccer goalie the South had ever seen, and that no one could hold a candle to her ability to know any and all Emo lyrics better than anyone from the local music scene. To my skull-sock, skater-shoe-wearing, and Amazon-traveling-friend.... I will forever think of you as my friend who I can count on to call me so we can jump up and down and scream for ten minutes when life calls for it #engaged! / Or to help me pretend I'm staying with you to orchestrate my future husband-and-my first TN date - no questions asked! #umHellYeahWHatsThePlan #stayAsLongAsYouNeed / My life is better with you in it friend! :) Luv you bud, always! xoxo!
Susan Nolan
Bridesmaid
When Sarah moved to DC, she got very lucky that one of her best guy friends, Danny Nolan, had a super awesome girlfriend (now wife)...It didn't take long for Sarah and Susan to realize they had lots in common: they both have huge inner nerds that possibly include books about vampires or werewolves, they also love speaking Spanish, and yelling while they drink wine. Susan made sure that Sarah was fed for their next 3 roommate years, and Sarah made sure that Susan had lots of wonderful and exciting adventures in Adams Morgan, sometimes involving pick-up trucks. Always a loyal and honest friend- I love you to the moon and back!
Tiauna Miller
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Tiauna meet while working in DC, and even though the job was a little bit insane, luckily they got to hang out every day, eat lots of Thai food, and write great quote books of all of their adventures. Sarah was impressed that Tiauna was a way better teacher than her and never said no to oversized ferris wheels and Tiauna was impressed that Sarah was fearless when it came to eating very questionable sushi while driving giant vans. From hurricane work assignments, to Harry Potter World, I'm lucky to have you as my friend. Also, we make a great halloween team, Amen. ANG love and Anime, you'll always be my T-baby!
Cara Gamble
Bridesmaid
Cara and Sarah met in Baltimore as Johns Hopkins Graduate students. They became inseparable friends when they decided that they loved to play sports as well as retaliate against boys teams who didn't give girls enough playing time. They soon became one of the greatest all-female teams in history (except opposite), but still had a good time doing it. It wasn't long until they realized that they loved forcing their friends to wear themed outfits into public, rock climbing, jumping into grass pools, and having craft nights. Cara has been very invested in the Cy-Sarah love story because she is an amazing friend who has always fought off unworthy suitors ...Also, if you ever need someone to look fabulous in a fox outfit, she's your girl. Luv you woman!!!
