Wedding Party

Samantha Martin

Maid of Honor

Samantha is the best little sister who loves unconditionally and brings positive energy everywhere she goes. She never fails to brighten up my day. Even though she was drug to more than her fair share of softball games, she continues to be my number one supporter and have my back no matter what. Love you, Sam!

Christian Morgan

Best Man

My twin brother who has been by my side, reading my mind since day 1. He is the most supportive and caring person I know. I can always count on him to be by my side. I couldn't imagine a better best man for the special day.

Torie Shifflett

Bridesmaid

Torie and I grew up playing softball together. She's stuck by my side for 16 years. We read each other's minds in the middle infield and she now has the annoying ability to know exactly what I am thinking all the time. I can't imagine a more loyal friend to have by my side.

Easton Repko

Groomsman

Easton has been one of my best friends since elementary school and I couldn't imagine life without such a good wingman. Thank you, Easton, for introducing me to my soulmate. This special day wouldn't have happened without you. I'm so glad I have such a good friend to keep life interesting.

Taylor Novak

Bridesmaid

We met at Bridgewater College and lived together senior year. Our friendship has grown over a mutual love for live music, twisted tea, and trying to keep our apartment unrealistically clean. Taylor is the most genuine, thoughtful friend and I can't imagine my life without her.

Patrick Martin

Groomsman

My new, hilarious brother. Patrick, thank you for keeping Kat straight all these years. I couldn't ask for a better brother in law or squaco chef (For those of you that don't know, Patrick has mastered the fine art of cooking squirrel tacos).

Morgan Landes

Bridesmaid

My college roommate who never fails to keep life interesting. She loves with her whole heart and is the first one to come to my rescue, no questions asked.

Timmy Lapp

Groomsman

Timmy has been the best friend since high school. He's one of those people who makes everyone around him better with his work ethic and care for others. I can't imagine a better roommate to gang up on Kat with.

Sidney Atwood

Bridesmaid

My new, artistic sister who has made me feel like part of the family ever since Blake and I met. Sidney lights up any room she is in and I can always count on her to have a real conversation or a good laugh. She has an uncanny ability to see the light in every situation.

Saul Manriquez

Groomsman

I remember sixth grade orientation day was the most frightening of my adolescent days. Saul was one of the many kids that I had never met, but I knew the second that we started talking it would be a friendship that would last. I'll never forget going to his house and his mom making us the best food I have ever had. I'm so glad I have a friend like Saul to stand beside me on this special day.

Ally Repko

Bridesmaid

One of the reasons we are all here. Ally and I went to Elon University to play ball together after being high school rivals. From accidentally dying our hair orange before freshman year headshot day to her family beach trip where Blake and I met, Ally has been nothing short of a life changing friend.

Jeremiah Lapp

Groomsman

Jerry can walk into a room and somehow get everyone to follow him. He has an energy that makes everyone want to be around him. I've known Jerry since high school track. He's been the best motivator and friend I could ever ask for and I wouldn't be the man I am today without him.

Brooklynn Fridley

Bridesmaid

The most genuine, kindhearted friend anyone could ask for. Brooklynn is the type of person that makes you feel loved beyond measure and is always up for a real conversation about life. No matter where life leads, I know we will always be able to have a good laugh about how far we've come together. I'm so grateful for our friendship.

David Thew

Groomsman

Davy has been keeping life interesting since high school. He lived with me for a few years and became a part of my family. He's one of those friends that I can talk to about anything without fearing judgement and I'm so grateful for that. I'm glad I'll have him standing by my side on the most special day.

Hannah Marks

Bridesmaid

Hannah is the saint who keeps my little brother straight and I love her endlessly for that. There is never a dull moment when she is around and I love her ability to turn everything into an adventure.

Brent Hulse

Groomsman

Brent, I have no idea why you love Taylor Swift songs so much, but I love it. There's no better way to describe your personality than your obsession with Jonny Cash and Taylor Swift. You are unapologetically yourself no matter who you're around, and I'm so glad I've gotten to share so many laughs and memories with you. I can't wait to add this one to the list.

Jenny Martin

Mother of the Bride

Mom, I have never met anyone who can find the light in any situation as well as you do. You taught me to "Live in the now," that everyone deserves to be loved, and that it never hurts to be kind. You live a life of service from teaching to volunteering on mission trips, and I am so proud to call you my Mom. Thank you for being patient and always supporting me. I hope that one day I can be half the mom that you are. I love you so much!

Grant Martin

Father of the Bride

Dad, I wouldn't be half of the person I am today without you. From a young age, you taught me that "You get out what you put in." You taught me that there is something to learn from everyone, and you should always work hard so that you can play hard. You gave me the gift of understanding that sports and the lessons you can learn through them are truly invaluable, but can be so easily overlooked and taken for granted. I've always looked up to your work ethic and ability to coach people to be their best. I'm proud to call you my Dad. I love you so much!

Teresa Morgan

Mother of the Groom

Mom, thanks for loving me when I'm a pain in the butt, you're the best mom ever. The best thing about you is that you let me be myself and you let me believe I'm worthy. I can't express my gratitude enough for the encouragement you always give, for the value you taught me, and for the love you give me each and every day. You've always gone to great lengths to protect me and keep me happy. You have given us a beautiful family, a happy home, and love for each other. Most importantly, you have given us each other. I'm proud to have such a strong and caring role model. I love you always

Todd Morgan

Father of the Groom

Dad, you are the first and last man I could blindly put my faith into and trust that I will forever be safe. As I write this I feel myself drawn to the memories of the first time you carried me to bed, the first time you showed me how to ride a bike, the first time you showed me how to bait a hook, and the first day you drove me to school. There aren't enough words in the dictionary that would help me express the love I have for you. There won't ever be enough words to thank you for this beautiful life you've given me. I may be old enough to get married, but I'll always be your little boy. I love you dad
