Our Wedding

From Hinge to Happily Ever After

It all started with a few swipes and a most compatible match on Hinge- but the timing made it feel a little more meant to be. After Hayley had made the move to Florida and was settling into a brand-new chapter of life, a message popped up that would change everything. What started as casual conversation quickly turned into easy banter, long chats, and that feeling that maybe this connection was worth seeing through in person. Seth set up the first date to which he chose Champions Mexican Sports Bar because per Seth, they had the best birria tacos Jacksonville, FL had to offer, and she was immediately in! Seth confidently ordered a fishbowl margarita- not knowing tequila was a no go for Hayley- but that only added to more laughs, stories, and it became clear there were definitely more dates to come! From that moment on, life together began to unfold like no other. From spontaneous weekend trips to planned adventures, every place old &amp; new felt better experiencing it together. One of those adventures even included Seth’s very first-time skiing (only a handful of months post knee surgery!)—proof that with the right person, stepping outside your comfort zone can be unforgettable. On June 1, 2025, they traveled to Saint Augustine to celebrate Hayley’s birthday—though she had no idea what was in store. The evening began with dinner at Saint, an incredible Italian restaurant, followed by Seth casually mentioning they had one more activity planned. Anyone who knows Hayley knows she has a love-hate relationship with surprises. Even with a small hint from Seth, she still had no idea what was coming.They headed down to the marina, where Hayley assumed they were joining a group sunset cruise. Instead, Seth had secretly arranged a private catamaran sunset cruise through Saint Augustine. As they set sail, they were greeted with champagne, dessert, and dolphins swimming alongside the boat, making the evening feel nothing short of magical.When they reached the perfect spot, with the sunset glowing behind them, Seth got down on one knee and asked the question that would change everything. Completely surprised, Hayley said yes, beginning the next chapter of their story together and all that had led up to that moment.

Our Story

THE BRIDAL PARTY

Being Hayley’s matron of honor was such an easy “YES”! We’ve always said we’re the sisters life forgot to give us as we are cousins born just 10 days apart. We grew up side-by-side making up dances in the living room, trying on the same dresses at the mall, and staying up way too late during sleepovers creating inside jokes we still laugh about. Even into our adult lives, we’ve been there for each other through it all. I’m beyond grateful to stand by Hayley’s side on such a special day and watch her marry the love of her life!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Hay since my first day of 8th grade; I was new to school and who better to sit next to than this ray of sunshine? Little did I know that sitting next to her that day would guarantee me a best friend for life, because we’ve been inseparable ever since! No matter the distance between us, whether it was the 2.4 miles between our houses in high school, the 131 miles from Boulder to Laramie, the 32 miles from her San Diego apartment to mine, or now the 514 miles from Jacksonville to Denver, no distance could ever keep us from our late night FaceTimes, ski trips, boba stops, sonic runs, pitch perfect riff offs, sombrero parties, Christmas hibachi nights, or chic fil a breakfast dates. Plus now I get an added bonus to my bestie package, SETHY! I couldn’t be more grateful for this girl and can’t wait to stand by her side and watch her marry the love of her life!❤️☺️

We have been friends for 10 years now and met freshman year at college after we both joined Chi Omega. We were close from day one and even through multiple moves and life changes our friendship has continued and gets even stronger as time goes. I have a few favorite memories, but one of my favorites would have to be recently when we met up in Disney World, or when we got to experience Georgetown in DC through the view of a cute rooftop car with you and Seth! I also will always remember that no matter what we always prioritize seeing each other like during Covid when we drove to see each other and stood 6 feet apart 🤍

Where do I even begin!? Being cousins and all, HayHayCupcake and I have known each other our whole lives but we are more than just cousins — we are true friends. One of my earliest memories with her was when one of my sisters had to get stitches and Hayley helped me “decorate” my staircase with every single stuffed animal I owned as an “I’m sorry I cracked your head open” tribute. From that moment on, I knew she would be my ride-or-die. We spent our childhood dressing up as princesses, spying on our siblings, and wreaking havoc at our grandparents’ house. As we grew up we learned how to be there for each other through cross-country moves, heartbreaks, and many other “is this what it means to be an adult” situations. Hayley is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever known and she is an amazing example of what it looks like to love + support others. I am so honored to stand by her side and celebrate her marriage to Seth ❤️

THE GROOMSMEN PARTY

Seth and I met freshman year at Navy and ended up rooming together throughout our time there. We weren’t close at first, but bonded quickly over borderline illegal amounts of preworkout and Family Guy. Since then, we’ve been through just about everything; from surviving COVID quarantine with only 30 minutes of outdoor time a day to him standing next to me as the best man at my wedding. I’m excited to see what life has in store for him and his beautiful bride!

Jake Martell

From all the laughs we shared in Bancroft, to the sweat poured out in the gym while he’s lifting some freakishly heavy weight, to the many stories and memories we’ve made over a drink or two, I’ve been lucky to share a lot of great moments with Seth. I’ll forever cherish those memories and I am so  grateful to call him a friend. It’s been amazing to watch him find someone who brings out the best in him and makes him so happy. I couldn’t be more excited to see him begin this next chapter with someone who means so much to him.

Dan Bailey

It’s been terrific to be able to get to know Seth and welcome him into the family. Between zipline racing in the Smoky Mountains and dealing with fantasy football injuries, I’m beyond glad to soon be able to call Seth my brother-in-law. I’m wholeheartedly honored to be a part of such a special day, for both him and Hayley, and I’m nothing but happy for them and all the adventures they’re going to embark on and memories they’ll make together.
