Wedding Party
Eric Strecker
Officiant
Hailey and Eric were always best friends growing up despite the age difference. Eric always wanted to fit in with his big sister but behind the torture that older siblings have to bring onto the younger siblings, she loved every moment she spent with her little brother. Hailey is and always was Erics biggest fan. When he had to move to advance his high school sports career and Hailey was in college, him and Hailey moved in together. Hailey used to pick Eric up from practice after class. One day, practice was cancelled and Eric had to ride the bus, since he never rode the bus before he didn't know which bus to take. Instead of asking someone which bus was his, he stood in the bus loop until all the buses were gone. Eric had to wait almost 2 hours at an empty school for Hailey to get done class to pick him up. Still, Hailey will always consider him her favorite roommate.
Tara Dixon
Maid of Honor
Tara is Tyler's youngest sibling. Tara and Tyler weren't very close growing up since their age gap left a lot of room for Tyler to play with the big kids. Tyler loved to tease Tara (still does) and Tara loved to push back (still does that too). Hailey met Tara on Tyler and their first date. They had just left mini-golf and showed her the score card that Tyler only won by 1. Tara said, "Tyler loves to cheat, he thinks it's not cheating if you don't get caught." Clearly she didn't realize how bad that might sound on a first date, but looking back that is definitely a Tara-thing to say. From that day Hailey and Tara's friendship grew into being the sisters neither of them had.
Grigoriy Arutyunyan
Best Man
Grigoriy is Tyler's closest friend and so happens to be his business partner as well. Grigoriy is an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon who has taken Tyler under his wing for the past 4 years and has helped advance his career tremendously. The two of them are always calling each other and giggling like 12 year old school girls. They make a great team and better friends as they have full trust in each other and always have one another's back. It is an honor for Tyler to have Grigoriy as his best man and Grigoriy feels the same way.
Brooke Hackney
Bridesmaid
Brooke is Hailey's longest friend and cousin. Growing up, Brooke would spend weeks at a time at Hailey's house. They were inseparable. Everything they did, they did together. When they were kids, they had even formed a band, The Bubble Gum Twins. Even after the (not) surprising fall of the band, they were impossible to separate. From crushes, to boyfriends, to first kisses, and every other big thing in Hailey's life, Brooke has been there for her. So it's only right that Brooke holds her hand for this too!
Amira Curly
Bridesmaid
Hailey and Amira met while they were at Rowan University. A fall night at the beginning of college, Hailey found her self sitting in Amira's kitchen sink and making a name for herself, Classy. Although they've met a few times through mutual friends, this night sparked their friendship. Amira and Hailey continued being the life of the party and partners-in-crime, running houses that neither of them lived in. Through distance, job changes, busy lives, they never skip a beat.
Troy Dixon
Groomsman
Troy is Tyler's younger brother. They played on many sports teams together and pushed each other to become better on and off the field. A funny memory of these two was in the parking lot of a baseball tournament. Tyler and Troy were having a contest to see who could go faster on a scooter down a hill. It was Troy's turn, he was shredding down the steepest part of the hill which started to curve. Troy hit a rain gutter on the side of the road, somehow he landed on his feet and started running down the hill like a cartoon character before finally falling and sliding face first. Their dad was upset because Troy had another baseball game at that day. Fortunately Troy hit a home run so they didn't end up in trouble.
Trevor Dixon
Groomsman
Trevor is Tyler's older brother and has always had a goofy personality and a great ability to be able to take a joke. He always has a bounce in his step and when things get tough, rolls up his sleeves and get to business. In their younger days they would have have many bouts of competiveness even including how high they could jump off a swingset. One cold, winter day Trevor had the highest jump but the swing caught his foot on the way down and slammed his frosted tip head into the dirt, leading to the nickname Frost Bite. He was able to shake off the fall but never the nickname.
