Our Groupies
They bring the vibes and good times.
H&K are not blind to the fact that they have such a village of friends, family, and loved ones who constantly surround them with joy. We are also proud to announce that three are licensed nurses, two are forklift certified, and most of them are potty-trained.
Valerie has known Kaitlyn for thirteen years. She was also there the night Haley and Kaitlyn met at CC Slaughters (IYKYK). Kaitlyn also lived with Val during the first year or so of Haley and Kaitlyn's relationship, and H&K spent a lot of time with Val and her son, Winslow. Needless to say Valerie has been pretty pivotal in Haley and Kaitlyn's story.
Valerie Winkle
Officiant
Winslow spent many chilly Saturday mornings watching vines with Haley. He affectionately refers to H&K and his 'naughty' aunties, and routinely snuck out of the house with them to get coffee and doughnuts. If the venue would've let him be the Beer Boy then he'd be passing out them out to all the guests. He's their ring bearer and has been tasked with ensuring that all wedding etiquette rules are followed. His mom is also the wedding Officiant!
Winslow Newcomer
Ring Bearer & Wedding Etiquette Enforcer
Wes is Haley's Nephew and our resident performer. He has the big task of getting his sister down the aisle WHILE throwing flowers. H&K have taught him that it's perfectly acceptable to dance on a dining room table, and we hope he busts out those dance moves on the dance floor. His mom is also a bridesmaid!
Wesley Barrett
Flower Boy
Sweet baby girl Delaney has every member of the Barrett family wrapped around her finger. She adores her brother, Wes, and we hope that between the two of them they'll be able to get the flower-throwing job done. Her mom is also a Bridesmaid!
Delaney Barrett
Flower Girl
Haley's Wedding Party
Elaine has been friends with Haley for literal decades, and was the mastermind behind both engagements. She ensured that H&K didn't accidentally plan proposals that were at the same time or similar in vibes. She lived with Haley during H&K's first year of dating and also spent plenty of time with the lovebirds.
Elaine Black
Maid of Honor
Kenna is Haley's g-big from Alpha Phi, and spent much of H&Ks engagement living the van life in the Portland Metro area. Fun fact, while Kaitlyn was proposing to Haley; Kenna was actively driving to Portland with her (now) fiancée, Logan!
Kenna Whatley
Bridesmaid
Audrey is Haley's sorority big, and is likely part of the reason Haley made it out of McMinnville in one piece. Audrey and Haley have a shared loved of Star Wars, Rick & Morty, and hanging with their cats.
Audrey Acevedo
Bridesmaid
Kyla is Haley's sorority twin, and the culprit for putting Haley on a longboard. She's the live of just about any party, and we hope she brings that energy to the dance floor!
Kyla Turner
Bridesmaid
Rebecca is Haley's sister-in-law, but more importantly Haley's favorite co-conspirator against her brother, Tyler. Rebecca also has greek life in her blood and we're hoping she dusts that baddie off for the reception.
Rebecca Barrett
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Haley met in nursing school, and the rest is history. Prior to knowing she was in the wedding party she was scoping out a statement pantsuit, and is frankly still a little bummed she won't be in a pantsuit as a bridesmaid.
Nicole Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn's Wedding Party
Makayla and Kaitlyn have known each since fourth grade? Third grade? At this point Kaitlyn isn't even sure. Makayla also happened to be there the night H&K met, and it was her first time at CC Slaughters. Needless to say Makayla's first time there is one for the history books. Kaitlyn is forever grateful that Val gave Makayla a ride that night so that Kaitlyn didn't need to leave earlier.
Makayla Freitas
Maid of Honor
Ryan has known Kaitlyn since Middle School, and they are #survivors of King's Way Christian Schools. Ryan had the pleasure of listening to Kaitlyn never shut up about Haley in the early days of meeting.
Ryan Tront
Bridesdude
Hailey is Kaitlyn's cousin, and the OG Hailey. To this day there are family members who have no idea how to spell either of the Ha(i)ley's names and for that Kaitlyn apologizes but blames their parents. Hailey also endured the early days of Kaitlyn gushing about Haley, and put in the WORK.
Hailey Hernandez
Bridemaid
Emm has known Kaitlyn since Kaitlyn was sixteen years old. They were collegiate speech & debate gremlins who decades later also turned into co-workers. Emm was foundational to BOTH engagements. She stopped one of Kaitlyn's brothers from accidentally walking in on K's engagement, and had her car stolen less than 24 hours before H's engagement. She was 'boots-on-the-ground' for both proposals in every sense of the word.
Emily Fitzgerald
Bridesmaid
Kyle is one of Kaitlyn's four brothers, and actually lived with H&K for six months. He wasn't the brother they expected to move-in, but may have been the brother they needed. They all collectively exercised demons out in that house. Kyle and Haley bonded over the same internet culture jokes and a shared love of reminding Kaitlyn of H&K's four year age gap.
Kyle Metscher
Bridesdude
You know that friend that you meet through someone else, and you stop talking to that original person, but you keep the friend in the divorce? That's Raelyn. Kaitlyn and Rae were mortal enemies in middle and high school. In their early twenties they were reconnected, and shortly thereafter moved in-together into what they lovingly called the 'vancouver-frat-house'. The rest is pretty much history.
Raelyn Case
Bridesmaid
