Wedding Party
Gina LaRusso
Maid of Honor
Gina and Courtney have been friends since freshman year of college where they bonded over staying up way too late in their freshman dorm and made it a tradition to watch the time change from 1 to 3am every year at daylight savings. They led a Bible study in college together, shared a bathroom (which really bonds you), and worked at SB2W together. Since then, Gina has been Courtney’s go-to phone call to talk about big life questions or just talk about pure nonsense. The whole way through, Gina has continuously been a prayer partner for Courtney and a great friend for the past six years. Gina recently moved to Long Island, so she and Courtney get to spend a whole lot more time together and are continuing to make memories like going to Noah Kahan concerts and camping on Long Island within ear shot of the highway.
Evan Benbow
Best Man
Evan, who will likely introduce himself as “Benbow” or “Beans,” is Mack’s best friend from camp. The pair met their first summer working at camp and quickly bonded over their love for Philadelphia sports teams. Benbow is hilarious and is a youth group pastor in North Carolina, which has given him some pretty good stories — just ask him about what happened at the hotel on the trip he took to Charleston last summer. Benbow brings out Mack’s goofiest and weirdest side, and we love him for it.
Emily Rowell
Bridesmaid
Emily and Courtney met in 2018 at SB2W but really became close summer of 2019 where they discovered their mutual goofiness and love for laughing. That summer, they were co-counselors and from there, they have been long-distance bffs and see each other at every chance they get. If you know Emily, she will always tell you to not invite her to do something unless you mean it because she will more than likely join — well, Courtney kept inviting Emily to do things and always meant it, so they have had many fun adventures together from exploring NYC, to Passion Conferences, to visiting each other at college, to lake houses, to pickleball competitions and more. Emily definitely brings out Courtney’s goofiest side and we love her for it.
Austin Sauder
Groomsman
Mack and Austin met at Summer’s Best Two Weeks and have been very close ever since. They were co-counselors and on leadership together throughout their many years at camp. Austin and Mack have grown very close since their first summer at camp together. He is a constant encourager and is always there to be a listening ear.
Cabrey Keller
Bridesmaid
Cabrey and Courtney met during their senior year of high school very randomly at a W&L interest weekend, and five minutes into their conversation, Courtney asked to be freshman year roommates, and the rest is history. They spent all of freshman year being confused for one another, combatting a lice scare, joining a sorority, dealing with fire alarms, having sleep problems, dancing the night away in frat basements, and figuring out life together. And since freshman year, they have continued to figure out life together and spur one another along in their faith as they pursue their careers and life dreams across the US, while trying to see each other at least once a year to go skiing together. Also, where Emily brings out Courtney’s goofiness, Cabrey brings out Courtney’s weirdest self. But like a fun weird, you know?
Liam Fulling
Groomsman
Mack and Liam met in college in their freshman hall. The first day that they met each other Liam and Mack didn’t talk to one another. But then that awkward tension broke shortly into their freshman year and then they couldn’t stop “booling”. After many all-nighters in the library and countless weird dance moves, Mack and Liam have become best of friends. Liam is one of the smartest and most inclusive people that Mack knows.
Allyn Berry
Bridesmaid
In July 2021, Allyn became Courtney’s first ever sister (sister-in-law, but we’re counting it)! Allyn has been such a steadfast friend and counsel to Courtney for the past 2+ years and has provided a ton of advice as Courtney and Mack have approached marriage. Allyn is a very loyal friend and sister and has been a great encourager in life, whatever Courtney may be facing. Allyn is also hilarious and brings a lot of laughter and joy to the Berry family with her quick wit, sarcasm, and well-timed TikTok references. Allyn also loves to cook and try out new dishes — she is even the leader of the movement in the Berry family to get Courtney to start liking spicy food… we’ll see how that plays out.
James Mahoney
Groomsman
Mack and Liam met in college in their freshman hall. They bonded immediately over their love for sports and music. Since then they have gone to many concerts together, you should ask him about the first time he saw Mt. Joy. As a Patriots and Mets fan, James has come under constant ridicule from Mack after the Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl and the Mets collapsed every year before the playoffs. Even through their rooting teams differences, James is one of the nicest and most caring people that Mack knows.
Rose Maxwell
Bridesmaid
Rose and Courtney met at W&L where they led music on the RUF worship team, majored in psychology, and were Thetas together. Rose was always someone that Courtney looked up to, and for the last year and a half, they have gotten to be roommates in NYC since Rose decided to move to the big city to pursue her masters in social work at NYU. Since being roomies, they have loved exploring the city together, going to karaoke bars, dancing in the streets, singing on the subway, and even going on hikes upstate. Rose is also Mack and Courtney’s favorite third-wheel (along with Ian, Mack’s roommate) and has been a very encouraging friend throughout their relationship and time in the city.
Brogan McCutcheon
Groomsman
Mack and Brogan met at Summer’s Best Two Weeks and worked there for many years together. Brogan is one of the most energetic people that Mack knows and always loves hanging out with him. Brogan is always down to joke around, especially when he can relate any conversation to I Think You Should Leave. Even though Brogan loves to joke around, he is also amazing at diving deep into conversation. This was especially true when they were bunkmates in the leadership cabin at camp.
Grace Anne Holladay
Bridesmaid
Grace Anne and Courtney met during preseason of their freshman year at W&L because Grace Anne was there for cheerleading and Courtney was there for volleyball. They were very fast friends. Since then, they have made great memories together from late nights in Leyburn library, to the Cookout drive through, to exploring the Pacific Coast Highway in a red convertible together. Grace Anne is one of those friends that is just incredibly loyal, is always praying for you, and supports you in every way she can, even if it’s from afar. Grace Anne will also laugh at every joke, which is probably why Courtney has kept her around so long;)
Brandt Berry
Groomsman
Brandt is Courtney's oldest brother and currently lives in Cary, NC with his wife Allyn where they are within driving distance from their alma mater UNC to cheer on the 'heels in all sports, ideally if they're actually doing well. Brandt has been super supportive to Mack throughout the wedding planning process and given advice on how to "be easy" as the groom and be excited about other people's ideas haha. Given their recent move to NC from Colorado, Brandt and Allyn also still need to teach Mack how to deal with elevation, since he has struggled with that in the past (don't ask)... Similar to Courtney, Mack is excited to gain not one but TWO brothers in the Berry family!
Hannah Morgan
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Mack’s younger sister and the middle child of their group of three. She played soccer at Vanderbilt and then moved to Chicago post-grad where she works in consulting, which is something that she and Courtney have bonded over — why are they trusted to give professional advice as 24 and 25-year-olds? Who knows! Hannah is a lover of Diet Coke, the Morgans’ golden retriever Riley, giving Courtney her hand-me-downs, and she is the best gift receiver we’ve ever seen… Courtney is excited to gain not one but TWO sisters in the Morgan family!
Carter Berry
Groomsman
Carter is Courtney's older brother, and the middle of the three Berry siblings. Carter and Mack got to be good friends when Mack still lived in Charlottesville and always said they would probably have been even closer friends, except that he couldn't talk to Carter about allll his girl problems... Mack and Carter love to talk all things sports with each other, and Mack is proud to rub it in Carter's face that he has converted Courtney from a life-long Braves fan to be a Phillies fan, despite family ties to the Braves. Carter was pretty upset to say the least. You also won't miss Carter on the dance floor at the wedding... Mack is excited to gain not one but TWO brothers in the Berry family!
Julia Morgan
Bridesmaid
Julia is Mack’s youngest sister, and Courtney and her really bond over how youngest siblings are the best… Julia is a junior at Clemson where she gets to go to all the football games and Weins, which she might argue is better than the actual games. Courtney lives vicariously through her, as Courtney almost went to Clemson purely for the school spirit. Mack and Courtney are also trying to convince Julia to move to NYC post-grad, so if you meet her at the wedding, feel free to throw a shameless plug in there… Courtney is excited to gain not one but TWO sisters in the Morgan family!
Donovan Fiore
Groomsman and Wedding Singer Extraordinaire
Donovan actually knew Mack and Courtney before they knew each other. He was Courtney’s freshman year RA at W&L and he did the Charlottesville Fellows program with Mack and they then became roommates. Donovan also HEAVILY encouraged this relationship to the point that he texted both of us during our first date to check in on things, which was pretty obvious when our phones buzzed at the same exact time. Donovan has been a great friend and encourager to both Courtney and Mack over the past few years. We love Donovan and he is very musically talented, and we are grateful to have him sing and play guitar during our ceremony.
Alex Keene
Wedding Singer Extraordinaire
Alex and Courtney met early on in their freshman year at W&L and went on to become great friends. They made so many memories together, including everything from recording a song parody for RUF, leading worship for RUF, attending Passion conferences, celebrating New Years at the beach, and so much more. Alex is the ultimate hypewoman and made such an effort to come to Courtney’s volleyball games and be a loud cheerleader — and Alex continues to encourage Courtney often, even as they don’t live down the hall from each other. Alex is a very loyal and loving friend, and CLEARLY a great singer!
Sarah Concepcion
Reader Extraordinaire
Sarah and Courtney met during their freshman year at W&L and continued their friendship from there, bonding over psychology classes, RUF leadership, and Courtney consistently trying to discourage Sarah from being a vegetarian. They have shared many fun times from living together in the cabin senior year to exploring Koreatown in NYC together, and some not-so-fun times like mutually stressing over COVID rules together (oof)… Sarah is a great encourager and is so good at sharing the truth in love and keeping her friends accountable.
