I have the great honor of standing up at the wedding of my sister Morgan and my future brother-in-law, Ryan. I am extremely grateful to welcome Ryan into our family, and I can’t wait to see the family that they create together! My sister and I have had a great relationship, as we were homeschooled for our entire childhood. It has created memories throughout the years that I’ll cherish for a lifetime. I pray that God blesses them in this next chapter of their lives with lots of love, joy, and plenty of adventures!

I’ve known Ryan since I was 6 years old. We went to the same school and the same church, so naturally we ended up best friends. I’m an engineer who loves cooking, writing, and music. I’ve been married to my wife Samantha for 5 years, and I wish Ryan and Morgan the same kind of love that we share.

I am Ryan's brother-in-law and am excited to welcome Morgan into the family! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and being outdoors. You can always find me cheering on the Michigan State Spartans!

While we were roommates, you would catch us spending time walking exceedingly great distances while talking about the deep things of life, crafting, biking, singing, going on weird Edan-instigated adventures, and perplexing Ryan. Most of the shenanigans that you would find Morgan participating in were invented from Edan's brain. In addition to her quirky side, Edan has some momma bear instincts when it comes to her friends, but, after many months of dating Morgan, Ryan finally procured Edan's permission to propose. She's super excited to see Morgan marry the love of her life. Edan feels that Ryan is a worthy man, someone who shares Morgan's passion for Jesus, is extremely caring and considerate of others, and is almost as goofy as Edan, which makes the R+M the perfect duo.

I am the sister of the groom and soon to be sister-in-law of the bride! When I'm not chasing my toddler, I enjoy spending time outdoors, baking, and going on adventures with my family!

Morgan and Brittany have known each other for 15 years. They have bonded over a mutual love of crafting (and definitely not just hoarding supplies), Jesus, coffee, and now, thanks to the influence of Morgan, brunch. Upon introduction, Brittany was first impressed by Ryan's good looks, followed by his wit, personality, and ability to get his girl the perfect gift. She is excited to be a part of Morgan & Ryan's beautiful day!

I have had the great honor of calling Morgan my friend for over 18 years! From volunteering on the KidZone Worship Team and at Royal Family Kids Camp, to college study dates over coffee, to therapy sessions in the car and dealing with the crazy-Karen crafters of Hobby Lobby, to finally living together this past amazing year -- no matter the circumstances or the stage of life, our time together was always filled with laughter... almost always to the point of crying! So here's to the next chapter in your journey: May you and Ryan always find as much joy and laughter as we always have, and grow together in beautiful and unexpected ways that overflows to those around you. And... I also hope that this love that you have is a love based on giving and receiving, as well as having and sharing. And the love that you give and have, is shared and received. And through this having and giving, and sharing and receiving... we too can share and love and have... and receive!
