Our Story

Photos

It is hard work being the bride’s best friend as she can be particular, snarky, and stubborn. Luckily, Abbi has mastered her craft over the last 16 years. Their friendship began as two girls with the same volleyball shoes and has developed into two girls that share the same lingo, love for Andy Grammer, obsession with Cribbage, and go on an annual road trip. For the most part, you can’t know Morgan without having the pleasure of knowing Abbi. Her talents include showering as little as possible, having very little rhythm, and peeing in public. Be sure to say hi to her at the wedding where she can share advice about national parks they have visited, weird facts about farming, and if you’re lucky, she can tell you what percent neanderthal she is!

Megan was found in the same manner that Morgan found Jacob, on the internet. They met on Facebook and became freshman year roommates. They spent their entire freshman year sharing a futon as a bed despite having perfectly good mattresses in their room. Her talents include determining if your birth date gives good vibes or bad vibes, being Kim Possible for halloween, and making it through college without cleaning the communal toilet. She plays the role of advice giver in the bride's life as she routinely has the best advice to share. If you run into her at the wedding be sure to clear 30 minutes of your time and supply at least one conundrum in your life for her to provide some Minnesota nice advice to you! 

Megan Matalamaki

Nina is the bride’s newest friend, but Jacob’s favorite of her friends. Rumor has it that Nina knew Jacob was the one before Morgan did. She went to medical school with Morgan where they spent their time volunteering together at a free clinic. Jacob is known for inviting Nina along on dates when he gets tired of hearing only Morgan talk. Her talents include knowing exactly when Jacob needs a coffee break at the hospital and when Morgan needs a beer. If you find her at the wedding I encourage you to ask her what the name “Mystic Dan” means to her, you won’t be disappointed! 

Nina Punyamurthy

Lauren was supposed to be name Morgan, however the bride stole her name before she was even born. These girls grew up playing soccer together. Lauren was the goalie and Morgan was her sweeper who destroyed anyone that tried to break another bone in Lauren’s body. They then became Badgers and finally roommates in medical school. Her talents include talking without taking a breath, running on very little sleep, cervical exams, and delivering babies. If you are pregnant or have concerns about your lady parts, be sure to find Lauren and let her give you free medical advice!

Mitchell and Jacob met playing football together as kids. They grew up together, went to college together, and most importantly, won two national championships with “Shake N’ Bake” together. Mitchell and Jacob unknowingly shared a toothbrush for a week in college which has bonded them for life. Mitchell is the proud father of a four year old son that enjoys dressing provocatively to get dogs to hump him. If you have the honor of meeting Mitchell be sure to ask him about this dog story or about his job that he has described to Jacob hundreds of times but since it isn’t medical Jacob fails to remember the details!

When Spencer isn’t found streaking across Centre College campus, he works to sell insurance to America’s middle class. Other famous hobbies of Spencer include being a world wide top 10 Fifa Free Kicks player, a degenerate sports gambler, and an amateur two-handed bowler. He and Jacob got along swimmingly as kids which really means they fought over meaningless things daily. Make sure to ask Spencer about the time he put a dead bird in the neighbor’s mailbox if you meet at the wedding!

Alec is the brother of Morgan, and to this day he has not saved Jacob’s number in his phone. He teaches America’s youth about English in California and finds himself proofreading virtually any important paper, email, essay, or application Morgan writes due to her illiteracy. He spent his life raising most of the hermit crabs that live north of the Illinois/Wisconsin border where their biggest predator was his mother who once put them out in the July sun where they became a cooked delicacy. Make sure to ask Alec what it was like being the sole caretaker for the family pug, Kramer.

Greg and Jacob also met playing football together as kids. They went on to be college roommates, but did NOT share a futon every night like Morgan and Megan did. Greg now serves in the Army, but don’t let that distract you from the fact he used to show up to intramural volleyball games with hickeys on his neck from girls he worked with at a white board factory. His talents include extended video game hours, jumping out of planes, and smoking cigars. Make sure to say hi to Greg at the wedding in the only corner where smoking is allowed. He likes to be greeted with a salute and only responds to “Captain Greg”!
