Wedding Party
Katie Thurston
Matron of Honor
Katie and Hannah have been best friends for the last 20 years! Growing up playing soccer together, having weekend sleepovers, photoshoots, and high school dances, to Katie starting her own marriage and family, they have shared a lifetime worth of memories. She is Hannah's longest friend, with their parents having known each other since childhood as well! "Katie is the definition of a loyal and constant friend. She is the same girl I met when I was in first grade, and I am so thankful for that! I could not imagine my wedding day or the wedding planning process without her by my side. We have been through so many seasons of life together, and have given each other the kind of support you would get from a sister throughout it all. While she isn't my biological sister, that is the kind of bond we have created and maintained over the last 20 years. Not only that, but she always can bring up my mood and offer the best advice whenever I am in need. She is one of the best support systems I have in my life. If you are looking for someone to brighten your day, go talk to Katie!"
Sofie Eberhardt
Maid of Honor
Hannah and Sofie met in college through their sorority and quickly became fast friends. Sofie has known Hannah since before her relationship with Matt began, and has been one of their biggest supporters. Hannah and Sofie have shared so many special memories together from college and beyond, and Sofie's friendship has been one of the most special bonds Hannah found in college. "Sofie and I met during the pandemic when nothing in life felt normal. Of all the challenges during that time, her friendship made everything feel a lot less heavy. I am so grateful for the blessing of having her in my life and the memories we have shared together. I feel so thankful to have her standing by my side on the biggest day of my life."
Trinity Burley
Bridesmaid
When Hannah and Trinity met during sorority recruitment, they had an instant connection. This connection has kept them in each others' lives for over six years and they have shared so many memories together. Trinity has lived many lives, she has traveled all over the world, traveled the country in a van, and now attends Charleston Law School in South Carolina. No matter how many miles stand between them, Hannah and Trinity stay close and connected, signifying a heart connection that is sure to last them into old age. "Trinity is the definition of a friend who is so different from me, and because of that, she pushes me outside of my comfort zone and opens me up to new experiences. I admire her bravery to try new things and take a leap of faith. When we had our first conversation in recruitment I cried - because I could tell immediately that this was a girl I wanted in my life forever! I am so glad to have her with me on my wedding day!"
Haley Drayton
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Haley met through sorority in college. Haley grew up in Dixon, CA and she and Hannah have shared so many fun college memories together. Kind, honest, intelligent, and beautiful are just a few words to describe Haley. She stood by Hannah's side during online sorority recruitment, celebrating birthdays, and made Hannah so proud when she became Gamma Phi Beta chapter president. She now attends law school in San Diego, another amazing accolade to add to her long list of achievements! "Haley impressed me from the day I met her. She is so incredibly confident, yet kind and welcoming. You can always count on her to be a true and honest friend. She has seen me go through many different phases of life, and was so supportive when Matt and I started dating. I am so proud of her, and to call her a sister for life."
Taylor Euer
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Hannah met through Taylor's husband, Louis. Louie and Hannah became best friends in college, where he took on a "big brother" role in her lifer. It took no time for Hannah and Taylor to bond after meeting, and once Matt joined the group, the fun was endless! Hannah had the honor of being one of Taylor's bridesmaids when she married Louie, and was so excited to return the favor and include her in all the wedding festivities. "Taylor and I have shared so many deep couch conversations over the last 5+ years. She is stunningly beautiful, kind, and so welcoming. I feel so honored to be included in her closest circle of friends, because she is so loyal and caring. Her career field as a NICU nurse perfectly describes the kind of caring and compassionate person Taylor is, and I am so thankful to have her as my friend and bridesmaid."
Bethany Regnani
Bridesmaid
Bethany has a special place in Hannah's life, because Bethany was Hannah's first cousin! Down to earth, beautiful, intelligent, and warm, Bethany is truly such a special person in Hannah's life. Bethany grew up with her younger sister, Hailey, in Williams, CA, which is not far from Hannah and Matt's wedding venue! They are true country girls, with the most down to earth hearts. "I cannot say enough wonderful things about my sweet cousin, Bethany. I believe cousins are exceptionally important family members because, along with siblings, they are the people we get to grow old with and have by our sides through all of life's hills and valleys. If I could hand select people to take on life with, Bethany would be at the top of the list. I am blessed to have her as family, and so grateful to have her as my bridesmaid."
Hailey Regnani
Bridesmaid
Hailey is Bethany's younger sister and Hannah's little cousin. If you are looking for someone to brighten up the room and make you feel seen and loved, Hailey is your girl! Hailey attends San Diego state and has an amazing eye for aesthetic design, as well as a heart for helping others. In her free time outside of school, she enjoys volunteer work and spending time at the beach. "Hailey is SO much fun to be around. She is incredibly mature, warm hearted, and much like her sister she is incredibly down to earth. You can't spend time with Hailey and not enjoy yourself. I can remember seeing her as a new born in the hospital and my first time being asked to watch her while my aunt cleaned up the house, and how special I felt to be entrusted with this beautiful little baby. Now she has grown into an amazing young woman, and someone I look forward to growing old with! I am so thankful to have her as family and to share the memories from my wedding day with her."
Kelsie Thomas
Bridesmaid
Kelsie and Hannah have known each other since the very beginning of Matt and Hannah's relationship... to be exact it was the very same weekend! While Kelsie is one of Hannah's newer friendships, they share a special one. Kelsie has been a wonderful friend and companion to Hannah and Matt and has offered wonderful support for their relationship. The girls have bonded over their love of animals and walking together and enjoying the outdoors, but also greatly enjoy grabbing happy hour and spending hours on end chatting. Regardless of how much time passes, they always find a way to spend quality time together, something so crucial in maintaining friendships. "Kelsie has quickly become my go-to girl for happy times and gentle support. She really knows how to meet me where I am at, whether that is going out and laughing for hours at happy hour, or supporting me when navigating grief. She truly has been with me through a mix of emotions, and always gives her genuine love and support. I can't wait for the memories we will make together leading up to the big day!"
Chris Morgan
Best Man
Chris is Matt's big brother and best friend. Despite their close relationship today, they were very competitive growing up, always trying to out-perform each other. In high school, things changed when they became allies on the football field, leading their high school to playoffs for the first time in years. The "Mo-Bros" helped reestablish their high school football team's status, and in doing so they grew a close relationship as brothers on and off the field. Chris has always been Matt's biggest role model throughout life, which manifested itself in numerous ways. One of these was Matt's constant interest in hanging out with his big brother Chris and his friends, which wasn’t always appreciated by Chris. Nonetheless, Matt eventually caught up to the older boys and now both friend groups have meshed together in a beautiful way. Chris and Matt will always be each others' first call if they are in need of brotherly support, watching football, or need to hide a body with the only question asked, "Whose car we taking?"
Cameron Hansen
Groomsman
Cam is Matt's oldest friend. In fact, they have been best friends for longer than Hannah has been alive, something Cam takes great pride in. Growing up together playing baseball and football, the two have always been attached at the hip. Anyone who knew them in their youth can attest for a competitive spirit between them, even stronger than that between Matt and Chris. Their friendship has withstood the test of time and provides a closeness that has only grown into adulthood. Matt and Hannah are excited to support and encourage Cam as he enters into his own marriage in 2026 as well, making it a big year for both best friends.
Colby Heisinger
Groomsman
To know Colby is to love him. Matt and Colby have known each other since elementary school, where they were foes on the playground (specifically the wall ball courts). In Junior High however, they bridged the wall ball gap and became very close. Colby and Matt were co-presidents of the Christian Club and were in band together in the percussion section where they made many sweet memories. In fall of 2025 Matt and Hannah attended Colby's wedding where they celebrated his union with Sami, his wonderful wife. The two couples have shared many memories together including Tahoe trips and look forward to more memories to be made in the future, including Matt and Hannah's wedding in September.
Ryan Goetting
Groomsman
Matt met Ryan as a freshman in high school after he was told that the girl he asked to homecoming had already accepted an invitation from Ryan. Matt did not yet know Ryan, or that this young woman had already accepted his proposal, so the beginning of their friendship was rocky. The two were forced to even hold hands and take a lap to break tension during football (thanks Coach Green). They both separately joined the US Army and are brothers in arms as well as in their life endeavors. Matt and Ryan maintain their long distance relationship today by spending many hours talking via headset on video games late into the night, often while Hannah snoozes. Hannah and Matt always look forward to time spent with Ryan and his beautiful significant other, Fern, and the Morgan wedding in September is no exception.
Luke Garcia
Groomsman
Back at high school football camp, Matt decided his friendship with Luke was destined to go down in history. As a result, Matt volunteered them to be roommates at camp and wormed his way into Lukes closest circle of friends (which was minuscule since Luke was the new kid at school). While Luke's boisterous personality was intimidating to Hannah at first, after spending time with Luke he quickly won over Hannah, and more importantly the heart of Bailey (dog of honor). Luke is Matt's wittiest friend and their friendship is no longer forced as it was so long ago at camp. When Luke and Matt were attending college, they both joined the same fraternity at their respective universities making them lifelong brothers. Even though Luke lives in Southern California, he and Matt have been able to maintain their close friendship. They enjoy regular Friday phone calls to catch up and always make it a priority to spend time together when visiting each others' cities.
Louis Euer
Groomsman
Hannah met Louis at the beginning of her freshman year of college and the two quickly formed a strong friendship. At the time, Louie and Matt were in the same fraternity, though it wasn’t until the beginning of dating Hannah that the two men became especially close and have now formed a true brotherhood. On their first double date night, Louie took it upon himself to initiate a very serious conversation with Matt as Hannah's "Big Brother". He pulled Matt aside for a long and perhaps intoxicated conversation to inquire about Matt's "intentions" with Hannah. Matt has been working tirelessly since that conversation to ease Louie's worries. "I truly can look back on college and my friendship with Louie and know in my heart that it is one of the strongest relationships I gained from that time. I look forward to life with Matt and know that Louie and Taylor will always be apart of our future. I can't wait to raise children together, plan family vacations to Euer valley, and know that they will always be strong supporters of our marriage." -Hannah
Zach Hines
Groomsman
Zach holds a special place in Hannah and Matt's relationship because he acted as a matchmaker for the couple, way back on that eventful night at Crawdads. Matt and Zach were roommates for three years and grew a close friendship during that time. Matt even encouraged Zach to take a leap of faith and flirt with his boss, a decision which resulted in Matt serving as a groomsman in their wedding. His humorous personality always adds to any social gathering. This was especially apparent when he quickly won over Bryan (step father of the groom) during a family barbecue, resulting in Bryan eagerly wanting to offer Zach a job. Regardless of the time or place, Matt and Hannah are always thrilled to spend time with Zach. They look forward to sharing their big day with him, especially because without his help, none of this would have been possible.
Julian Barron
Groomsman
Jules is one of Matt's sweetest friends. Everyone loves Jules, but none love him quite the way Bailey (dog of honor) does. They say dogs are the best judge of character, and this is obviously the case for Jules and Bailey. Jules is always there to lend a helping hand, especially for his closest friends. A perfect example of his kind and caring nature took place in spring of 2022, when a scheduling conflict left Hannah without a ride to day one of Stagecoach Music Festival. With only a few hours notice, Jules packed a bag and came to pick up Hannah, then drove them to the Bay area where they met with another couple and carpooled to Indio together. Jules is also a loving a devoted father to a beautiful little girl. Matt and Hannah could not be more proud of his success in life, especially as a father. They feel truly blessed to call him a friend and are especially grateful for his role in their wedding day.
Derek Calabrese
Groomsman
Derek and Matt met way back in 2011 when they lived across the hall from each other in the Sac State dorms. The two quickly became best friends, and Matt would often drag his mattress across the hall so they could have "napping parties" during down time between classes. They also made many memories together pranking Derek's now wife, Heather. The prank wars 2011-2012 will forever go down in history in their minds. Derek also influenced Matt to join a college fraternity. Without this, the bride and groom would have never met. Now, Matt is following in Derek's footsteps by marrying his college crush.
Bailey Dadigan-Morgan
Dog of Honor
Hannah brought Bailey home as a pup her freshman year of college. Bailey has been by her side for 8 wonderful years, and is her soul dog. She has helped Matt and Hannah start their family, and is their most prized furry family member. She has been there for all of their big moments, including the proposal at Vernal Falls, and Hannah and Matt cannot imagine celebrating their big day without her. She will be walking down the isle with Julian Barron, one of her favorite people. Make sure to give Bailey some special attention... it's her big day too!
