Wedding Party
Taylor Bratton
Groomsman
Hayden and Taylor met during their freshman year at JMU (take note of a running theme). They lived across the hall from each other in Bell Hall. They bonded over their mutual interests in sports and academics. Since then they have been on many adventures together with many laughs along the way. Talk to him about the NFL, college football, or shoes.
Abbott Bryant
Bridesmaid
Abbott and Jenna have a school-year friendship of talking about life during a way-to-short lunch break and sharing some of the best 2nd-grade lesson plans you've ever seen. Their summer friendship is 90% sharing reels and TikToks. Talk to her about the royal family, Matty Healy, or how to make the perfect dirty Martini.
Jeff Choi
Groomsman
Hayden and Jeff met during their freshman year at JMU. They lived down the hall from each other in Bell Hall. They bonded over their mutual interests in sports and academics. The two have been on many road trips together over the years where Jeff's talents as a DJ have proven to be 2nd to none. Talk to him about basketball, movies/tv, or the meaning of life.
Stacy Davis
Bridesmaid
Jenna met Stacy living at Allister. Stacy and Jenna both love playing all kinds of games, as long as focus is on fun rather than competition. They also love any opportunity to dance. Talk to her about Bravo TV, feminism, and Taylor Swift.
Jake Cottrill
Groomsman
Hayden and Jake met during their freshman year at JMU. They lived next door to each other in Bell Hall. They bonded over their mutual interests in sports and music. The two would go on to live together as roommates during their sophomore and junior years at JMU. Talk to him about football (American & English), economics, or marathon/cycling training.
Christina Hall
Bridesmaid
Jenna has technically only spent time with her future sister-in-law, Christina, three times, but you'd never know it. They bonded quickly over a love of blue drinks and have talked about everything on a 6-hour road trip (where Christina pretty much saved their lives). Talk to her about her pets (a dog and two cats), country music, and, of course, fun blue drinks.
Mike Lehman
Groomsman
Hayden and Mike met during their freshman year at JMU. They lived down the hall from each other in Bell Hall. They bonded over their mutual interests in sports and music. Mike is a master fisherman and has taken Hayden on some quality fishing outings over the years. Talk to him about America, the Dallas Cowboys, or aliens.
Meagan North
Bridesmaid
Jenna also met Meagan living at Allister. Meagan and Jenna connected over football and having look-alike dogs that don't get along. Help make sure they actually get a picture together, since they didn't get one at Meagan's wedding! Talk to her about Penn State, rescue puppies, and brunch.
Jimmy Read
Groomsman
Hayden and Jimmy met during their spring semester freshman year at JMU, although in a different manner than the rest of the groomsmen. Their first meeting was a group in a general education geology class. Now most people would assume that is how they became friends, and most people would be wrong. Hayden was actually fairly quiet in that group and didn't talk much to Jimmy. They would meet again later through a mutual friend playing intramural kickball. After that, they would begin to become friends and the rest is history from there. These days they take to the virtual battlefield and have conquered lands such as Verdansk, Rebirth Island, Ashika Island, and Vondel. Talk to him about law enforcement on Shelter Island, Call of Duty, or NY sports.
Savannah Smith
Bridesmaid
Savannah and Jenna bonded over being separated from the rest of the 2nd-grade team. Savannah kept Jenna sane through some tough teaching years with the perfect balance of honesty, support, and humor. Talk to her about The Office, UNC Charlotte, and all things mini goldendoodles.
Mia
Flower Girl
Jenna adopted Mia in July of 2014 when she was only 8 weeks old. She has been with Jenna through starting teaching and several moves. Although Mia loves everyone she meets, Hayden is definitely one of her favorites and she loves to stare at him while he works from home. DON'T talk to her about water, butt scratches, or treats so she can stay focused on her job.
