Wedding Party
Emmy Smith
Maid of Honor
As Chad’s best friend, it is the joy of my life to stand beside my sister on their wedding day. My official duties include keeping her calm, keeping her on time, and keeping the rum swizzles flowing. Please don’t make eye contact during my speech. Morghan has requested it be emotional, and I’m going to need everyone to kindly avert their eyes. I’ve had a front-row seat to their relationship from the very beginning. I went from saying, “Just swipe right on him, girl,” to “Of course she’ll say yes, Chad.” It has been so special to see how far they’ve come. I can’t wait to see all your sun burnt faces while we celebrate in Aruba!

Allison Bergeron
Officiant & Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! I am so excited to be a bridesmaid and officiant for Morghan and Chads wedding!! I met Morghan freshman year of college while crying in the dorm bathroom because I was homesick and we have been friends ever since. Fun fact, Morghan, Chad, and I were also roommates for 3 years; that’s a lot of nights where Morghan and I had Chad do late night trips to the gas station for a sweet treat, he’s a real one for that. When I’m not spending time with friends I work as a mental health therapist with kids and their families doing family therapy (fun times!) Some of my favorite hobbies are hiking, especially when I take Pastrami, traveling to Western Mass to see my family, and watching sports. I am so excited to celebrate two of my most supportive and loving friends!

Sup nerds, I’m John and I met Chad in the Boy Scouts when I was 9 years old. I currently work in the sales world where I have to dress up everyday and if you know me…you know dressing up is NOT MY JAM. I am the human embodiment of the saying “if walls could talk” except switch it around so it’s just “he could talk to the wall”. Anyways, I’m so excited and honored to have been selected to be in the wedding as I remember when Chad first started talking to morghan. As soon as my nighttime drives with Chad ended, and we stopped listening to raise your glass by p!nk on repeat, I knew he had found his person. If you see me out on the dance floor please come say hi, I’ll be the tall one that’s probably spilling drinks all over the dance floor
Reese VanDerMolen
Bridesmaid
Hi all! My name is Reese and I am one of Morghan’s bridesmaids! I have been lucky enough to call her a best friend for over 10 years (since middle school!) and may or may not have been the reason Morghan cancelled her original first date with Chad (North Conway was calling us- sorry Chad!) I met Chad a few months later and we became fast friends on our first annual Christmas friend trip up north! Morghan and Chad are the most thoughtful, welcoming, and loving people I know and I’m so excited to be apart of their special day. See you all on the dance floor- I’ll be the one tearing it up with a pina colada!

As Morghan’s big sister, it has been a privilege to watch her share her giant heart with the world. I couldn’t be happier that Chad now gets to hold onto her heart forever. I met Chad as Morghan’s plus one to my wedding (that she officiated!) and I knew instantly that their relationship was special. Since then, it’s been constant giggles, with our only ever serious talk being when Chad asked if he could marry my sister. It’s an honor to be a part of their wedding and to watch this love grow. After the tears that will be shed, the dance floor better watch out because it hates to see me coming!

Being Chad’s older sister is nothing if not entertaining. From summer camp songs and skits that we only performed with each other to energetic guitar hero tournaments with family on Christmas, life is never dull with Chad around. I remember watching Chad walk on his own for the first time, and now I get to watch him walk with Morghan as his partner in all things. I couldn’t be more thrilled to call Morghan a sister—and I’m even further blessed to have been introduced to and welcomed by her family and friends too. I can’t wait to hysterically cry at their wedding. If anyone needs tissues, I’ll have plenty to go around!

If you know Morghan, you know she is a light in everyone’s lives she comes across, and as my older cousin, she surely is in mine. I have had the pleasure of walking through every phase of life with her. Preparing her to walk down the aisle has to be one of the most rewarding experiences I will ever have. We’ve talked about this moment our entire lives, and now it’s really here. After getting to know Chad, I knew he was the one for her. The way they balance each other, make each other feel seen, and radiate happiness for everyone to feel, I knew they were perfect for each other. I am more excited than imaginable, and I am so blessed to be a part of their wedding. Cheers to celebrating our people in Aruba!
