Dee and Morgan go way back to their elementary days. They've seen each other through many stages and experiences in life, and throughout it all, Dee has been an amazing friend. In their younger years they would fantasize about marrying the men of their dreams and living next to each other. Who knew that would actually happen?!? Okay--an hour away, but still! It's safe to say Dee knows Morgan better than almost anybody. Not much has changed since they were belting out Hanson tunes and making up dance moves to Shania Twain. You'll find Dee tending to every detail of the wedding to make sure it goes unbelievably smooth and then busting out dance moves later in the evening. We love Dee for her huge heart, overly organized ways and unmistakable smile.
Andrew (Rocky) Rockweiler - Best Man
Andrew (or as we all know and love him - Rocky) and Chris have known each other for 25 years, maybe more--who knows? Chris and Rocky are cousins on his mother's side and have been making bets for cash with each other since elementary school at Sacred Heart. These two share a lot of common interests, including fishing, lawn darts, Super Smash Brothers, pull tabs and repaying each other's debts in $1 bills. We couldn't be more excited to have Rocky playing a huge role in our wedding, and have no doubt that he'll be the life of the party!
Krista Manning - Bridesmaid
Krista is Morgan's older sister, biggest supporter and all-around amazing human. She's also one of the best multi-taskers on the planet, raising two boys with her husband, Mike, while running every day, working hard and maintaining many great friendships. Krista's support and guidance has shaped Morgan into the woman she is today. Their bond is so unique and special and Morgan is so thankful she was blessed with an incredible sister, and friend, like Krista.
Bill Koenig - Groomsman
Bill K. is another of Chris's cousins, but their friendship really began in high school over a game of poker. From playing tennis together, to late night Euchre games at Bill's cabin involving too many gin drinks, he has been there. Bill has always been a close friend and we are excited to have him share a part in our day.
Bill Albert - Groomsman
Chris has know Bill A. for about as long as he's known the rest of the guys, but their friendship began in high school. Bill has been there for Chris in various capacities. Among them include breaking into someone's house to reclaim their grill (which ended up not being theirs) living together for numerous years, and....
Lauren McElwain - Bridesmaid
Lauren and Morgan first met as freshmen in high school and quickly became inseparable - bonding over their shared love of boy bands and show tunes. After multiple vacations together, and a 4-year stint as roommates, they have shared pretty much every major life event together, be that good or bad, and Morgan is so happy and excited to share this next one together as well! These two have shared plenty of late-night piano/singing sessions, trips to Guitar Center and reality TV marathons (with many more to come!). At the wedding, you'll will probably find Lauren making new friends, or requesting Morgan's favorite songs from the band.
Kyle Wells - Groomsman
definitely adds to the laughter and excitement with this group and may be the most level-headed out of the bunch. We are lucky to have him as part of our day.
Katie Way - Bridesmaid
They say, "what's meant to be will always find it's way" and Katie and Morgan are a perfect example of this. Crossing paths many times in life, but never meeting, finally Katie and Morgan were brought together unexpectedly and their friendship quickly bloomed and has remained one of Morgan's most important. Katie is also one of the quirkiest people we know – and with moves like hers, we have no doubt she'll be the first one up on the dance floor at the wedding. We are so "honnored" to have Katie share our day with us!
Jim Krueger - Groomsman
always being the best dressed in the group and enjoying a glass of red wine (or four).
Christine Boucher - Bridesmaid
Christine and Morgan met in 2014 through mutual friends, and immediately Morgan felt like Christine had been in her life all along. Their shared love for live music and camping quickly became their favorite way to spend time together, and they have made some great memories over the years. Despite living in different states, she is still one of the most important people in Morgan's life.
