Wedding Party
Julia
Bridesmaid
Julia and Morgan have been friends since birth, as their dads have been best friends since high school. They have had many adventures together: trips to NYC for their 13th & 18th birthdays, annual Dad & Kids camping trips to Devil's Lake for 20+ years, and endless Schwab-Brzank family hangouts. Morgan and Julia share a love of obsessing over their dogs, wine, and calling each other for hours.
Clara
Bridesmaid
Clara is another friend since birth! As children, their moms (also besties) would unknowingly buy them the same clothes, and they would show up to multiple Brzank-Beck hangouts twinning. They often got asked if they were sisters growing up! They have enjoyed many lake weekends together, both went to UW-La Crosse, and now live by each other once again!
Sam
Bridesmaid
Sam and Morgan met during the Bunny Hop at Anita's Dance Center in 3rd grade. They recognized each other, as their elementary schools just combined. They were both in Ms. Bord's 4th grade class, and the rest is history! Sam is known as Ken and Cindy's other daughter and she is truly family! Sam and Morgan now enjoy *finally* living in the same city for the first time in 10 years!
Abby
Bridesmaid
Abby and Morgan met freshman year of college at UW-La Crosse, and quickly became close over many late-night chemistry and anatomy study (and crying) sessions. Junior year, Abby and Morgan moved into 1027 Grove Street and the rest is history! They share a love for Broncos (their favorite LAX bar), country music, and cross-country catch-up calls.
Liz
Bridesmaid
Liz and Morgan also met freshman year of college at UWL and she is another member of the Grove Street Gals. Morgan and Liz enjoyed many (maybe too many) Thirsty Thursdays together and many late-night heart-to-hearts. Liz and Morgan share a love of plants, new music, and have been in a virtual book club together for 4 years! Liz played a special part in Brad & Morgan’s engagement story! Brad and Liz conspired to get Morgan to try on rings with Liz during a Minneapolis visit and cheered Brad on through the proposal planning process!
Maddy
Bridesmaid
Maddy and Morgan met through their fiancés! Soon into dating, Brad told Morgan that he KNEW Maddy and Morgan would become quick friends. He wasn't wrong! Since moving to Madison, Morgan and Maddy enjoy monthly Cooper's Hawk dates and double-date dinners with their guys! Maddy and Morgan are very much enjoying being in their engaged eras together and wedding planning alongside each other!
