Ethan was born and raised in Mountain Grove, MO, a small town in southwest Missouri. After high school, Ethan decided to go to the Academy of Hair Design to pursue a career as a Barber. He now works at Hudson Hawk in Springfield.

Morgan grew up in LeRoy, IL, a small town in central Illinois. After high school, Morgan decided to take a leap and move 6 hours away to Springfield, MO so she could attend Missouri State University. There she studied Finance and Legal Studies. She ultimately decided to stay in Springfield after graduation and start her career.

Ethan and Morgan met in November of 2021 the “modern way”: by swiping right. Obviously meeting someone online for the first time can be nerve-racking, so Morgan canceled on Ethan several times before she finally got the nerve to go on a first date. They went to Big Shots in Springfield for their first date. Morgan is very competitive, so she had to show Ethan how it was done and beat him at all the golf games. Hours felt like minutes and the conversations flowed so easily. A second date was planned soon after and from then on, the two were inseparable. Even though there was an hour drive separating them, the two spent every single day together from then on. Their relationship grew fast and what had only been a few months felt like years. On April 16, 2022, Ethan proposed to Morgan at her parents’ house. Since she doesn’t get to see her family very often, he wanted them to be the first ones to hear the news and see the beautiful, very sparkly, ring. Getting engaged and starting their future was by far the easiest and best decision they have made. When you know, you know.

Ethan and Morgan are excited for all their family and friends to join them as they say “I do” and start their forever on June 10, 2023.
