Wedding Party
Cory
Maid of Honor
When Cory and Hailey met at age 12, the very first thing they said to each other was “I love you”—because clearly, a conventional friendship wasn’t in the cards. United by their shared quirks and mutual weirdness, they've been inseparable ever since. Cory is the ultimate ride-or-die—part hype woman, part therapist, and full-time partner in crime. Whether it's a late-night stroll, a horror movie marathon, or sweating it out together at the gym, these two always find a way to laugh until they cry and stay up way too late talking about everything under the sun.
Christopher
Best Man
Christopher is Tommy’s younger brother by six years, which naturally came with a few differences growing up—but one thing remains constant—the bond between brothers carries a strength that stands the test of time. Aside from Hailey, no one understands Tommy quite like his brother. Their friendship has been forged through both shared interests and meaningful differences, forming a brotherhood that is as balanced as it is enduring. Their mutual love of history, fantasy and computer games always provides a platform for these two to connect.
Danielle
Bridesmaid
Danielle was the ultimate big sister package—effortlessly cool, endlessly supportive, and generously stocked with a closet full of outfits Hailey definitely ‘borrowed’ without asking. But Danielle was more than just a role model—she was Hailey’s guide through the crazy maze of growing up. Starting a new school was way less terrifying when you had a built-in best friend saving you a seat at lunch and making everything feel a little less scary. In a world that is ever-evolving, Danielle carries a sense of calm, and she has a way of transforming even the most ordinary moments into something memorable.
Kayla
Bridesmaid
Kayla might technically be Hailey's 'little' sister, but they were constantly mistaken for twins by strangers—thanks to their uncanny ability to finish each other’s sentences and the matching outfits during their early years (thanks, mom). Their shared full-time job—annoying each other—was something they both took very seriously. But beneath the sibling squabbles was a bond that only grew stronger, built on endless afternoons spent building forts and snow igloos, and choreographing wildly over-the-top living room productions. To this day, there's never a dull moment when they're together.
Neil
Groomsman
Neil, the lone brother in the Rhode family, was always the calm in an estrogen-filled storm. By the time he was three, he was already a tech whiz and a video game prodigy—holding his ground even as Hailey pleaded, “Just let me win once!” (Spoiler: he never did). Outnumbered but unwavering, Neil’s steady and protective nature is exactly what every sister needs. At sibling gatherings, you’ll usually find him in the kitchen, casually grilling the world’s most perfect steak like it’s no big deal.
Madi
Bridesmaid
It all began with Hailey bursting into dramatic tears upon learning she was getting another sister instead of the second brother she’d been hoping for. But the tears didn’t last—because the moment Madi arrived, she became Hailey’s real-life baby doll, happily paraded around in carefully curated outfits. Even with seven years between them, the two found common ground in their love for evening strolls and shared art projects. Madi always embraced her starring role in Hailey’s homemade plays, memorizing every single line like a true professional. And while it might be harder to plan around schedules these days, Madi rarely turns down a round of Mario Party, and their bond remains strong.
Linda
Bridesmaid
Linda and Hailey’s friendship kicked off in PE class at age 12, when Linda strolled up and blurted out, “I hate soccer”—a bold icebreaker that began a beautiful bond. They became instant pals. Even after Hailey moved to New York, their connection stayed strong through daily calls, endless online chats, and actual handwritten letters (yes, with stamps and everything). Years later, during a casual post-church lunch at Corner Bakery Café, Linda persuaded Hailey to apply for a job there… which just so happened to be where she’d meet her future husband, Tommy. Coincidence? Or master plan? You decide.
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hailey and Hannah’s friendship began at the ripe old age of four, when they became next-door neighbors and instantly clicked over a shared love of dogs, Barbies, and spooky movies. Before anyone knew it, Hannah was the self-declared (and widely accepted) fourth Rhode sister. Despite growing up, moving states, swapping jobs, and surviving all the plot twists life threw at them, they’ve stayed close friends—and honestly, not all that different from those mischievous kids with wild imaginations.
Jake
Groomsman
Jake and Tommy first met during their freshman year at Moorpark College about 15 years ago, and they hit it off right away. Bonded by a shared sense of offbeat humor, a love for classic cars, similar taste in music, and common hobbies, their friendship has stood the test of time. He has been there through every chapter of Hailey and Tommy’s relationship and remains a loyal, dependable friend to this day. Jake and his fiancée Ali are a top pick when in need of some comic relief or some feel-good company.
Ali
Bridesmaid
Ali and Hailey first met over 12 years ago, all thanks to their fiancés—Jake and Tommy—being longtime friends. The two quickly clicked, bonding over their shared love of animals, creative hobbies, and plenty of conversations about hair and nails while the guys did their usual “guy stuff.” Ali is the kind of friend you can count on for a good laugh and a solid video game sesh, all while sharing snacks and catching up on life. She’s been a constant presence and a true friend to both Hailey and Tommy since the very beginning of their journey together.
Dennis
Groomsman
Dennis is basically the big brother Tommy and Hailey never had—but definitely needed. As Hailey’s brother-in-law (and soon-to-be Tommy’s), he’s been a part of their story from day one—back when he’d swing by Corner Bakery Café and Hailey would casually point out the cute coworker she had a crush on (yep, Tommy). Dennis has a talent for turning any gathering into a full-blown party, complete with the perfect playlist and a snack spread that rivals most catering tables. He’s the kind of guy who brings people together and keeps the good vibes flowing.
