Claire LeFew

Haley and Claire meeting was a work of fate -- that fate being the alphabetical order of their last names. It was because of this their middle school lockers were luckily placed beside each other. Since then, their relationship has grown and endured into one of Claire's most cherished friendships. Claire considers herself incredibly lucky to have someone as amazing as Haley in her life. A fun bit about Claire is that she enjoys several hobbies which include cooking, photography, and exploring Richmond with her rescue dog Hobie.

Ryan met Nathan during college and was his roomate and 2 time debate partner. Through the grace and bad judgment of lady luck, he works in risk management and cybersecurity issues.

They are often found bonding over long car rides on the way to concert venues and communicating solely in pop culture references. Kathleen is excited to welcome Haley to the family and see where life takes the two next.
Jesse Miller
Groomsman
Jesse needs no explanation, but some will try. He’s an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, cannot dance as well as he thinks he can, and loves all food equally. Jesse’s known Nathan since middle school, and will not share childhood stories on Nathan as long as Nathan does not share stories on Jesse.
