Lexi Pickert
Maid of Honor

Introducing our wonderful Maid of Honor, Lexi. Haley's younger sister and lifelong best friend, Lexi has been an integral part of her life since day one. Growing up, they shared a love for dance and spent countless hours practicing and performing together. They've always been each other's biggest supporters, and that bond has only grown stronger over the years. Lexi is a kind and caring person, always putting others before herself. She has been a huge help in the wedding planning process, offering endless support and guidance. We're so grateful to have Lexi by our side on our special day. 

Michelle Hendrix
Bridesmaid

Michelle and Haley first met at Avila University while dancing together on the dance team. They have been through many big life events over the years from graduations, weddings, and welcoming baby Louis into this world. Haley is so thankful for the years of friendship and support. She couldn't do it without Michelle. We are honored to have her stand by our side on our special day. 

Kathleen Baldwin
Bridesmaid

Kathleen and Haley first met working at Saint Luke's. Kathleen has the biggest heart and makes everyone's life brighter. From the highs and lows, endless laughter, failed craft nights, puppy love, and outdoor adventures their friendship has continually grown. Haley is so thankful for their friendship and countless memories. We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with you by our side. 

Kelsy Gover
Bridesmaid
Kelsy and Haley first met at Avila University in nursing school where they bonded over stressful exams. Honestly though, Haley couldn't have done it without Kelsy's support and friendship. Now, Haley and Kelsy love having Gusto coffee dates where they talk for hours and spending time with Kelsy's sweet daughter, Norah.  Haley had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in Kelsy's wedding a few years ago and we cannot wait to have you stand next to us on our big day. 
Kaitlyn Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is Haley's future sister-in- law, but really she is more like an older sister. She has always made Haley feel so loved and welcomed into the family. Haley loves spending time with Kaitlyn and her family. Haley and James love creating memories with their two beautiful nieces, Penelope Ann and Sophia Rose. We are very excited to continue to make fun memories together at the lake, Chiefs games, babysitting the girls, wine dates and summer nights on the patio. 
Hanna Melton
Bridesmaid

Hanna and Haley's friendship started in elementary school. Haley's fondest memories with Hanna were the countless playdates and dance parties. Hanna and Haley also danced together on the Olathe East dance team where they shared memories during band camp, Friday night football games, and numerous dance competitions.  Hanna is a very sweet and thoughtful friend and we are so grateful to have her as a part of our big day.  

Cody Paterson
Best Man
James and Cody have been best friends for more than 20 years now. From elementary school through high school, whether they were somewhere playing baseball or making life hard for one of their teachers, they were pretty much inseparable. James couldn't be more excited to have Cody standing up with him on his wedding day.
Nick Slovikoski
Groomsman
James and Nick were fraternity brothers at the University of Kansas, and really became close while rooming together. Nick and James bonded over their oddly similar interests, and have continued to stay close while Nick bills 90 hours a week pretending to be a lawyer. James was recently in Nick's wedding, and couldn't be more happy to have Nick standing with him on his wedding day.
Connor Mashek
Groomsman
Connor and James met after joining the high school baseball team, and quickly became close friends. From dancing to Michael Jackson for a school project to making (really, really sweet) pool trick shot videos in James' mom's basement, it was really anyone's guess what they were up to. While they went their own ways during college, they both landed in Kansas City after school and have remained close ever since. James is thrilled to have Connor standing up with him for his wedding.
Schuyler Long
Groomsman
Schuyler and James met in Kansas City after college and were actually introduced because Schuyler and Connor (he was the guy next to Darth Vader like one slide back) were fraternity brothers in college. James and Schuyler spent entirely too many nights in Westport in the four years he lived in Kansas City and have continued to keep close after he moved to Minnesota. James is thankful to have Schuyler standing up next to him on his wedding day.
Jonny Salzetti
Groomsman
Jonny and James met on the first day of college, and would eventually become fraternity brothers. They immediately bonded over their love of baseball, KU basketball, and of course the Hawk. From spring breaks in Scottsdale with his family to some of the best times James can remember on college snow days to most recently standing in his wedding in New Orleans, Jonny and James have stayed close over the years. James is thrilled to have Jonny be a part of his wedding day.
Patrick Lacy
Groomsman

James and Patrick were fraternity brothers at the University of Kansas, and became close while rooming together. They bonded over their shared love of KU basketball and Chiefs football, and spent entirely too many nights out at The Wheel together. James wishes it was still acceptable to spend that much time at The Wheel. James is so excited to have Patrick standing up with him on his wedding day.

Jeff Mitchell
Officient
Jeff is James' brother-in-law and will be officiating the wedding, which is equal parts exciting and terrifying. Haley and James are so thankful for the huge role Jeff plays in their life, and couldn't be more happy to have him be a part of their big day.
