Morgan & Alex
Wedding Party
Morgan Kneip
Bride
Morgan in Alex’s words: “Gorgeous. Funny. Weird. Democrat.”
Alex Leach
Groom
Alex is Morgan’s words: “Dwight Schrute. Hilarious. Dog Dad. Farts. Republican.”
Courtney Merritt
Maid of Honor
Along with being the bride's childhood best friend, Courtney is often known for being the best bartender of the West Side. Be careful, if you talk to her too long you'll be eight shots deep within minutes. Its still not clear whether Courtney and Morgan were positive or negative influences on each other but its too late now anyway. The damage is done.
Dave Bostick
Best Man
Trivia King. Pun Master. Hockey Champion. GIF Wizard. Dave is a man of many hats and talents (refusing shots from Courtney is not one of them). He may be a Cleveland Browns fan, but we try to look past that. Fun Fact: Crowds of people have shouted "Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave!" on more than one occasion.
Tori Yelton
Bridesmaid
Morgan didn’t like her when they first became coworkers back in 2015. But isn't that how every beautiful friendship starts? Now she'd die without Tori in her life; they even have a day dedicated to their friendship: Tori Morgan Days. Not to mention, Tori’s beautiful new addition to the family, Nora, is Morgan’s new obsession! If you happen to hear Pony by Genuwine or anything Blink 182 play at the reception, Tori probably requested it. Dance to it or pay the consequences.
Adam Leach
Groomsman
When Morgan asked Alex how long he's known everyone and how (because let's be realistic, Alex didn't write these all himself). Alex said: "I've known Adam my entire life. I met him after I came out of the same womb that he had previously occupied." And that pretty much sums up their relationship. Whether its baseball, golf, or anything else really, Adam and Alex have a competitive sibling rivalry. And don't even mention those damn golf shoes.
Carly Swihart
Bridesmaid
TECHNICALLY Carly is Morgan's cousin, but let's be honest, they're more like sisters. She's responsible for many firsts for Morgan. From her first bottle of Pink Lemonade Burnets freshman year of college to being the (best) realtor ever and helping her buy her first home. The amount of jokes they have from vacationing in Gulf Shores together all their lives is endless. So don't even try to understand them.
Hunter Back
Groomsman
They've been friends since high school but it all became real once late night euchre and whole days at the golf course did Hunter and Alex become best friends. If it were possible to bleed stars and stripes, this guy would do it. The only thing Hunter loves more than America is Alex. No really, he had to move back from Arkansas because he couldn't stand to be away from him. I wouldn’t dare playing "Paint Me a Birmingham" around them.. no explanations needed. If you happen to hear "BRICK SQUAD!" shouted, just ignore it.
Amanda Kneip
Bridesmaid
Morgan's older sister and the reason for her love of sushi. Amanda and Morgan are as different as they come and also as similar as possible. Their biggest accomplishments include persuading their mother to get a tattoo with them and torturing Morgan in her youth by trying to throw her down the laundry shoot.
Jay Goodwin
Groomsman
If you've ever met or seen Jay, then you won't be surprised to hear Alex and him have been friends since they played high school football together. But don't let that tall, football build fool you. Jay's known for cracking more than his fair share of jokes and cold ones.
Mariah Walsh
Bridesmaid
The bride's college best friend and fellow nursing school survivor. With their intense love for wine, bad luck with past roommates, and weird ass sense of humor, Mariah and Morgan are essentially the same person. They even lived together so it is possible one of them stole a hairbrush to clone the other. Maybe they are the same person. Who knows.
Vince Boyer
Groomsman
Vince and Alex have been friends for as long as they can remember. You know how some friends can go months or years without talking and then pick up where they left off? Not an option for these too, their so attached to each other that if they don't play Xbox once a day together they'll get the shakes.
Rose Papiernik
Bridesmaid
Thanks to COVID, Morgan and Rose are now able to be in eachother's weddings! Both of their original dates were only weeks away from each other and although they're joined at the hip, they probably would've killed each other trying to coordinate two weddings, two bachelorette parties, two bridal showers, and much more. Fun Fact: These two were voted "Most Dynamic Duo" at work.
Matt Papiernik
Groomsman
This poor soul was forced into a friendship due to Morgan and Rose's codependency but little did he know he'd gain another friend: Alex! Matt and Alex enjoy golfing together, talking about golfing together, comparing golf purchases together, and long walks on the green together. We're really not sure if Morgan and Alex are getting married or if it's really Alex and Matt.
