Hayley & Benjamin
Wedding Party
Alison
Maid of Honor
Alison is Hayley's younger sister and co-maid of honor. For 18 years, Hayley and Ali shared a bedroom and like all sisters do, bickered constantly. Their mom always swore that once they were adults, they would be best friends and she was right. Ali is the yin to Hayley's yang. She is strong willed, smart, fun and such a great mother to Hayley's niece and nephew. Even though Hayley is the older sister, Alison has never failed to stick up for her. She once even started a neighborhood brawl because someone was being mean to Hayley. There is something so special about the unspoken understanding that sister's share and Hayley couldn’t imagine getting married without Ali by her side.
Jonah
Best Man
Jonah is one of Ben's closest friends. They bonded over their love for dirt bikes back in high school and have been great friends ever since. Their friendship has been full of shenanigans, from random costumed bar crawls in downtown Plymouth to very detailed (and ridiculous) hypothetical business plans. Some of their best memories have taken place at the 300 Club, including Halloween parties, mini bike madness and the white trash slip and slide. When Ben introduced Jonah and Hayley, they quickly became friends of their own accord. Hayley even introduced Jonah to his girlfriend, Skylar. Despite his gruff appearance, Jonah is a big soft teddy bear with a healthy love of budweiser and a healthy fear of crickets.
Brooke
Maid of Honor
Brooke is Hayley’s baby sister and co-maid of honor. Though there are seven years separating them, they have much in common, not least of which is their music taste. Hayley likes to take credit for introducing Brooke to her favorite artists, quizzing her on bands and songs. One of Hayley's fondest memories with Brooke is seeing their favorite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers front row at Fenway park. Hayley's favorite thing about Brooke is her kind heart. She loves and cares for other people deeply and lights up the lives of those around her. Hayley couldn't imagine getting married without Brooke by her side.
Aden
Groomsman
Aden is Hayley's baby brother. There were times that Aden was the stereotypical annoying little brother, especially when he was in his wannabe YouTuber phase and filmed everything and everyone for a year straight. Aden went through another phase where he wouldn't stop telling everyone that he would be 6'3 one day according to the doctor, even though he was maybe five feet tall at the time. But, Hayley, Ali and Brooke never bought it. Ben and Aden quickly became friends, bonding over their love of cars and roasting everyone else in the family. Aden has so much personality and a great sense of humor. Hayley and Ben can always count on his late night Facetime calls to make them laugh out loud. In what has seemed like the blink of an eye, Aden grew into such a great young man...who is actually 6'3. The couple couldn't get married without him!
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is Ben's older sister. She is one of the brightest people the couple knows. But, she has been known to occasionally chat someone's ear off. If she and Hayley get to talking, there's no telling when they'll stop. In true big sister fashion, Emily shows up in every way. Whether it’s a silly little kickball game, a Saturday afternoon with her dad, or a simple text checking in, sending love or congratulating Hayley or Ben on something going on in their lives. She always seems to know what to say. Emily has a way about her that brings life to any space she's in. She sings in the choir, acts in local theater productions and commands the room at karaoke. Don’t let her red hair fool you, because she has both a soul and the kindest heart. She's certainly the extroverted sibling and is looking forward to meeting everyone as the couple's families become one.
Julian
Groomsman
Julian is Ben's brother in law. He is a real stand up guy, with a love for law and baseball (unfortunately he's an Orioles fan). Julian is universally loved by the Waystack family because he is so caring, supportive and helpful. He always shows up emotionally and physically. After getting to spend some time with his family, it became obvious that the quality of character he possesses doesn’t stop with him. Ben’s sister Emily and Julian have been together for some time, but they officially tied the knot in the summer of 2025. Their wedding was so beautiful and full of love (Hayley only cried half the time). Getting to be a part of their special day was such an honor for both Ben and Hayley. They are proud and grateful to call him family and so excited that he will be a part of their wedding too!
Melissa
Bridesmaid
Melissa (mad dawg) is Ben's oldest sister. She is a Florida woman with the personality to match. Being his oldest sister, she's always been very protective of Ben. But, she couldn't be happier that the couple has found each other. Even though they live in different states, when the siblings reunite, they never skip a beat. Melissa can always ensure a good laugh and like their mom, Ben's niece and nephew, Ava and Dylan, are a riot. There is never a dull moment when they get together. Don't get too close because as great as she is, she does tend to bite.
JJ
Groomsman
JJ is Brooke's long time boyfriend. As a matter of fact, he has been around longer than Ben. He has such an awesome personality and is a real joy to be around. He is hardworking, kind, and most importantly, great to Hayley's sister. Ben and JJ could spend hours, and do, talking about cars. They have made a friendship outside of Hayley and Brooke and it is so wholesome to see. JJ is truly a part of the family, making sure to forge genuine relationships and make memories with everyone. He never misses Christmas Karaoke or Memorial Day weekend in NH, even after the loon knocked his kayak over. Ben and Hayley love JJ like a brother and are so happy to have him by our sides!
Erica
Bridesmaid
When Joe first introduced Hayley and Erica, they immediately hit it off. Over the past seven years, she has become one of Hayley's dearest friends. They even share a birthday. But, instead of stealing one another’s spotlight, they’ve chosen to celebrate together many of these years. These have been some of Hayley’s favorite birthdays, especially those that took place in New Hampshire. Erica possesses a level of kindness and compassion that most people could only dream of and shares it with everyone in her life. She is always good for a heart to heart, a gossip sesh, the best advice and some laughs too. Hayley’s wedding day would not be complete without Erica!
Joe
Groomsman
Joe is Hayley's oldest friend. They met way back in middle school when Joe was "dating" her best friend. Obviously that didn't last, but thankfully their friendship did. As teenagers, they loved going to concerts, going to the mall and partaking in shenanigans with their friends that they definitely didn't tell their parents about. When Joe started seeing Erica, Hayley immediately loved her, just like Joe and Erica loved Ben. They have seen each other through all the trials of their teens and 20s, and made so many memories. It is an honor to have Joe be a part of their wedding day.
Faith
Bridesmaid
Faith is an absolute angel. Ben met Faith through Jeremy and couldn't have been happier that the two found one another. He was so excited to introduce Hayley and Faith, knowing they would love each other. Ben, who never cries, was brought to tears when Faith and Jeremy asked him to be their son's Godfather. Even back in the days of cruising and blasting music in her WRX, Ben knew they were going to be lifelong friends. These days, most time spent together is chatting, catching up and watching Lincoln play, and they wouldn’t want it any other way. The couple is so thrilled for both Faith, and her adorable son to be a part of their wedding day!
Jeremy
Groomsman
Jeremy has been Ben's good friend since grade school. They are separated by some miles nowadays, but their friendship has never faltered. Each time they see each other, it's as if no time has passed. He is quick witted and so funny, making everyone around him laugh. When he isn’t relaxing at home with his family, Jeremy can be found playing D&D or disc golf. He and his wife welcome Ben and Hayley with open arms every time they come to visit. Jeremy even did Ben the honor of making him Godfather to his son, Lincoln. Ben and Hayley are lucky to have him as their groomsman (and designated asshole)!
Randy
Officiant
Randy is a dear friend to both the bride and groom. He actually knew them both before they ever knew each other. In fact, Ben used one of Randy's jokes to pick Hayley up. From concerts to nights out hogging the TouchTunes to camping trips on the Saco to game nights at the 300 Club, many of the couple’s favorite memories include Randy. He is probably the funniest person they know. His delivery of every story, even the most mundane, always gets a laugh. He once told the story of how a horse named Misty bit his hand and the air bite he did for emphasis was enough to make Ben spit his drink out...all over Hayley. Randy is so friendly and easy to talk to that he quite literally has friends everywhere he goes. His big heart, outgoing personality and ability to make everyone laugh made him the obvious choice for officiant.
