Megan McClurg
Megan McClurg - Bride

Starter of too many craft projects, trying to make little animations of stories that should be told. Happiest when immersed in a good story - be that from a book or a game or word of mouth. Happy to be marrying a really cool guy so we can continue to make our own cool stories.

I like making music and playing video games and talking about hyperfixations for extended periods of time to whoever can stomach listening to it. Met Megan at a job and then we left that job and now we're getting married, which is pretty sweet, if I can say so. Happy to be getting married to someone who also likes eating mac and cheese for breakfast and watching anime.

I met Alex and Megan while we all worked at a movie theater. I met Megan at one of the Christmas parties where we sat next to each other while the other employees set up video games on one of the theater screens, and found out we both had lived on the same street our whole lives. I met Alex while taking orders in the lounge area, where I was watching the Simpsons on the big TV and Alex came up to collect the dirty dishes. From there we went to live together in three different apartments starting with one where we had 7 people in a 3 bedroom apartment (which they moved in together after only dating for like 4 or 5 months). We've watched bad movies, dealt with puppies, and with a pandemic. Overall it's been a blast, I couldn't ask for better friends, I'm so happy to be a part of their lives and this ceremony.

I met Megan on a double date in 2016. We had wine and cheese in extremely dim lighting, very romantic...oh and our boyfriends were there too. Now all these years later we are best friends who loved to do weird shit and explore together. She is always down for anything and I love making memories with her. And now just as we had Megan and Alex in our wedding we are so honored and excited to be apart of their special day! I love these two with my whole heart and am so happy they've found each other. Cant wait to double honeymoon in Japan!

I met alex through high school drama and we’ve been friends ever since. I first met megan after going thrift shopping with a group of friends and she had no problems being just as weird as the rest of our friend group. she’s the easiest new friend I’ve made as an adult ever. Alex has always been a huge part of my life and is a major factor to why i’m married to my wife now (Alex is actually a the best wingman). Alex was even the best man at my own wedding and i’m honored that he chose me to be his best man at his. We’ve been friends for over a decade at this point and there’s too many memories to count. I love both Megan and Alex with all my heart and am amazingly blessed to be as close with them as I am. I’m proud to be a huge part of their wedding and I hope everyone will see how special their bond is with each other.

I’ve known Alex all the way since the old days of our High School Improv club, and I’ve had the pleasure to know Megan since the two of them started dating back at the movie theater! I'm blessed to be a part of their lives; Megan and Alex are insanely creative and inspiring, and I cherish the times we've ventured out to do cool and artsy things around San Diego together. And now, as we prepare for their big day-- I'm honored to join them in celebration as they get ready for the next great adventure they'll be on together! Best of wishes to the happy couple~!

Megan and I met through our partners, Alex and Andre, and have hit it off pretty well with each other since. I always thought Megan was super sweet, kind, and a really cool person when we first met. We bonded through shared interests in creativity, such as art and writing, and a willingness to try and explore new things together, and I'm happy for the times we get to hangout together~

I'm Alex's sibling, so I've had the fortune of knowing him since birth. Him and I have been through a lot together throughout our lives, but in the twenty-three years I've known him, I'm glad to say it's only brought us closer together. We may not live together anymore, but I've still been able to witness how he has made a flourishing life for himself--particularly once he met Megan. I don't know if I believe in soulmates, but if anyone could convince me of that concept existing, Alex and Megan could. It fills me with such an immense joy to see how much the two of them love each other, and how happy they are together. I knew this wedding was coming for a long, long time, even before they got engaged, but I'm beyond elated to see the day finally come.

I met Megan when she started dating Alex, who I’ve known since high school theater. From the jump I knew she was cool, she always has the best outfits, makes awesome art, and embraces the silly in life in a refreshing way and I knew I def wanted to hang out with her more. Over the last 7 years we’ve bonded through spontaneous hangouts, game nights, and of course, petting puppers. I’m so proud of y’all for how far you’ve come over the years, watching you guys grow into the dank memers you are today has been inspiring. Wishing you much love and all of the good times to come!

I have come to know Alex for about nine years now we met in high school, but didn’t become friends till two years later where he, our friend Justin, and I would hang out almost every night after work. We would spend most of our time Talking about music and video games and other things that three fresh out of high school teenagers would do. I consider Alex one of my best friends. I remember when he and Megan first started dating, the first time I ever really spent time with Megan was at a Yung Lean concert where it was just her, Alex and I. It didn’t occur to me then but for someone to go to that kind of concert with us had to really mean that they were truly special to each other. It’s been remarkably beautiful to see how their relationship has grown and is heartwarming to see two people who care about each other so much unify. I can’t imagine any couple more perfect for each other and wish them all the happiness in the world. May your years together be many, and your hearts be rich with joy.

Megan and I have known each other since we were wittle babies in highschool. Megan has always had beautiful, amazing ideas and kicked ass in art class and French because she's real talented artsy fartsy. Chef's kiss she's always been up for adventures, like fucking running from 4S-Ranch to RB, sneaking into the ren fair, watching all the scariest and silly movies, going into the Julian mines, sharing her fab music taste with her friends (thank you for the Irish Rovers), roaming the streets at night, going near and far for fun times! She's also got a heart of gold. So, it was wonderful to see her fall in love with a cool cat: Alex! Fun fact: Creative energy quadruples when they enter a room together. (Also the laughs, these kids are funny). They're so freaking fun and caring, and it's truly awesome that these two are tying the knot. ❤️ Cheers Megan & Alex!!

Remember who you are and what you stand for!! 🤟☝️

Megan and I met in high school and became friends over a shared love of Florence and the Machine, French things, and being the only cool people in our calculus class lol. Since then we’ve shared many grand and sometimes angsty dreams, griped about boys and work, and obsessed over music, art, and K-pop idols. Megan has always been an incredibly supportive and understanding friend who’s gone down a billion rabbit holes with me and has made my life much more joyful for it. I’m so excited she found Alex - her match in silliness and joie de vivre! I’m taking bets on how many times she’ll cry-laugh throughout the big day 💰

I've known Alex for a long 13 years. We bonded while playing hours and hours of Halo. Throughout high school, he became one of my best friends and would constantly be over at my house. Eventually, we ended up working together at a movie theater. Many nights we would work late nights and then hang out till the early mornings. I met Megan working at the same movie theater, where we spent many nights closing together . As soon as Megan and Alex began dating, I could tell they were going to get married. They have a relationship that many people spend their whole lives looking for.

I am Marie Karkehabadi and I've been punching this witch in the buns since high school. She hasn't gotten any less gooby and I support that. I like hanging out with animals that’re preferably hairier than Megan. My love for soft and hairy things persists, as I spend a lot of my spare time creating fiber art. I often participate in educating children and filmmaking. A while ago I got to make a short film and go to a festival with Megan and that was a pretty sick moment in my life. Congrats on your legal entanglement, my goob pals!

Alex once told me (I assume as a compliment) that he was surprised we had remained friends for so long. Alex and I met in middle school, photographic evidence will show his hair was long, he had three of the same Gun & Roses t-shirt on rotation, and he kept his used batteries in the same box as his new batteries. He was quite the rambunctious sword. We have known each other nearly fifteen years and spent the time laughing, learning, and occasionally gaming. I am not surprised that Alex and I have been friends for so long, anyone who has talked to him for more than ten minutes knows they have made an enduring connection. When I first met Megan I knew she had that same spark, that unnamed quality that makes a lifelong companionship click easily in to place. This ceremony celebrates more than the roads that have brought them hand in hand, but also the journey they will share. I know no one is surprised they have chosen to share it together.

I met Alex while we attended middle school together and we became fast friends over Xbox live playing Halo 3 over a decade ago. While we were friends then we became quite closer going to high school together,with Alex introducing me into the theater program which led into great experiences and friendships I have to this day. Post school, I met Megan while 50% of the people I knew worked at the local movie theater. She was an instant fit and could get along with all the antics and eccentric friends we had acquired over the years (with more to come!) Whenever I came back from college they both were always so welcoming and inclusive to whatever was going on. I’ve always had an appreciation for the energy they have as individuals but even more with how they are together. I am so happy to see them have grown together to this point and believe the best will come from their special day!

Megan and Selina first met in high school PE class and quickly became partners in crime when it came to leaving tennis matches with lots of loves. And while love in tennis is less than ideal, Selina is thrilled to be celebrating love in real life in Megan's special day! Selina's hobbies include hiking, reading, and city planning for the floating pizza metropolis the pair first dreamt up 15 years ago.

I met Alex in high school and we've been through so much together. He's been a ride or die friend and at times, a brother. Alex is my goofy friend who is always down for an adventure. I am so honored to be a part of his wedding.

I met Megan five years ago through my fiancé Zach. Her kindness, creativity, warmth, and intelligence drew me in and we have been friends ever since. She's always been my "try anything" friend and my life would be so boring without her. I'm so glad to be part of her and Alex's special day. 💖
