Wedding Party
Marissa Pugh
Maid of Honor
How could I ever sum up a literal lifetime of friendship in one paragraph? Marissa has been my built in best friend since birth. She knows me well enough that she could literally look at me with a specific facial expression and send us both into laughter that only happens when you've been laughing together your whole lives. We've lived together, we've lived 1,000 miles away from each other, and every time I see her it's like we've never left. I am so grateful for her love, laughter and endless friendship! -Morgan
Anna Golson
Maid of Honor
I met Anna in the fifth grade, and we solidified our friendship on top of the monkey bars. Even from a really young age, we talked about the deep parts of life. Occasionally that caused some growing pains, but over the past 19 years it has brought us even closer. I am so proud of the woman Anna has become and I wouldn't be the woman I am without her! -Morgan
Chelsea Ortiz
Maid of Honor
I met Chels at the Crooked Goose when we were both just trying to survive college in Allendale, and the stress of working in the service industry. We may have bonded in stressful times, but we have made a huge effort over these past few years to make a 9 year friendship even deeper from 1000+ miles away. I am so grateful to have this strong, intelligent, compassionate woman by my side! -Morgan
Elsa Hippe
Maid of Honor
Meeting Elsa was somewhat recent, but it feels like we have known each other our whole lives. She's so much more than my "work friend", though our love for inpatient rehab is definitely something we have bonded over. We always seem to know what the other is thinking, and even if we were locked in a room together for 6 hours, we'd still probably have things to talk about. I'm so blessed to have met her 6 years ago!!! -Morgan
Daniel Wharton
Best Man
My steadfast companion and the adventurous soul who stands as my best man on this monumental day. Bonded over Magic: The Gathering, we've traversed both fantastical realms and real-life wilderness, crafting memories that defy comparison. His unwavering loyalty and knack for navigating the unknown have seen us through countless escapades. With him by my side, I've conquered peaks and rivers, knowing his support and cooking skills are as reliable as the rising sun. In him, I've found not just a friend, but a true partner in adventure. Here's to the next chapter, where our journeys continue, both on the tabletop and beneath the open sky. -Braxton
Demian Allen
Groomsman
My first brother and lifelong companion, now standing as a groomsman on this momentous day. From the days of our youth, we've been partners in adventure, crafting memories as sturdy as the tree forts we built together. Our shared experiences extend beyond childhood escapades to the wild and winding roads of our family road trips to National Parks. Through the ups and downs of those journeys, we've forged bonds that withstand the test of time, united by a love for exploration and discovery. -Braxton
William Brimmer
Groomsman
My high school confidant and cherished friend, now standing beside me as a groomsman on this joyous occasion. Our bond was forged over shared laughter, countless bowls of Neapolitan ice cream, and evenings spent immersed in the world of comedies. But our adventures extended beyond the screen, as we navigated the streets on our bikes, exploring the world around us with the wind in our hair and endless possibilities ahead. -Braxton
Gavin Allen
Groomsman
Affectionately known as "Hot Wheels," my little brother and trusted comrade, now standing tall as a groomsman on this joyous occasion. Our shared love for the quirky humor of Nacho Libre has been a constant source of laughter and inside jokes, woven into the fabric of our bond. From childhood adventures to adulthood trips to Mexico, we've navigated life's twists and turns together, fueled by a shared sense of adventure and a love for mojitos. -Braxton
