The Girls
Allison Sczesny - Maid of Honor
Allison is one of the couple's favorite people and she sure does love "her" Hunter Groomes. In fact, she even told Hunter that she and Kaitlyn were a "package deal". She lights up every room she’s in and teaches others to enjoy all the little things in life with all she does. The couple could not imagine their day without her.
Haley White - Matron of Honor
Haley and Kaitlyn met at USC in their undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology course. Over beach trips, numerous dinner dates and countless hours studying, the two became very close. Although Haley and Kaitlyn live several hundred miles away, Haley continues to remain one of Kaitlyn's biggest supporters.
Cassie Garvin - Bridesmaid
Cassie and Kaitlyn met while working together at South Aiken Physical Therapy in Aiken, SC while Kaitlyn was taking her gap year between undergrad and PA school.

Marci Hayes - Bridesmaid
Marci and Kaitlyn have been friends for quite some time and share a love for the Carolina Gamecocks.

Haley Moore - Bridesmaid
Haley is the bride's cousin. They share a love for cooking, scary movies and car ride jam sessions, always finding a way to laugh with one another.

Lauren Groomes - Bridesmaid
Lauren is the little sister of the groom and one of bride-to-be's best friends. Kaitlyn did not grow up with sisters and was excited to be so welcomed into the Groomes family by Lauren, giving her the little sister she always wanted! They bonded quickly by sharing closets and a love for coffee.
Shelby Groomes - Bridesmaid
Shelby is the big sister Kaitlyn never had but always wanted and quickly welcomed the bride-to-be into the family in 2018, making her feel like one of the Groomes' own. You can find Shelby and Kaitlyn on dinner dates to Chili's or "running errands" at TJ Maxx and Target.
Summer Ray - Bridesmaid
Summer is the bride's cousin and long-time car ride karaoke partner. While the two will never bless the television screens on shows like American Idol or The Voice, you can find them singing every lyric to Strawberry Wine.
Kinsley Alise - Junior Bridesmaid
The bride and groom love their sweet niece, Kins. Whether she’s learning TikTok dances or testing out her makeup looks on the fam, she always finds a way to make them smile. She’s so creative at heart and the two can’t wait to watch her grow up!
Avery Olivia - Flower Girl
Av is the couple's kitty-cat loving firecracker of a niece and they can’t wait to watch where life takes her! She is a strong and independent little girl who knows just what she wants out of life and exactly how to get it and Hunter and Kaitlyn know she’ll be a trailblazer in all she does.
