Morgan + Cassie
Wedding Party
Lacey Jandra
Matron of Honor
Lacey is Cassie’s sister and first friend! She has been a supportive and protective older sister since day one. They spent a lot of time together, growing up and learning life lessons by each other’s side. Lacey is so patient and kind and Cassie has always admired her for those beautiful traits. Once they both start laughing together… good luck getting them to stop!
Lucas Biging
Best Man
Morgan met Lucas in the deep end of the Pierce College pool freshman year at Crespi Carmelite High School. Since then, he has been like a brother to Morgan. Their mutual love of swimming and water polo back then led to years of friendly competition, and later to working as Ocean Lifeguards for the County of Los Angeles. They also shared a very cool apartment in the heart of Pacific Palisades for several years before each met the woman who would change their lives forever.
Jessica Smith
Bridesmaid
Jessica and Cassie met in third grade at Riveria Elementary. They lived a few blocks from each other and spent most weekends together walking to their favorite sandwich spot in Redondo Beach, eating popcorn with M&M’s, and playing video games. Jessica and Cassie share a special bond and are extremely grateful to do life together.
Scott Smith
Groomsman
Scott and Morgan probably met for the first time at a USC Sigma Chi party, but those days are still a bit hazy. They started hanging out more regularly when Lucas and Morgan were roomies in the Pacific Palisades. Now the couples spend weekends, grilling, hot tubbing, and sipping fine tequila.
Savanna Morgan
Bridesmaid
Savanna and Cassie first met in 2017 through Savanna's husband and they worked together at SpaceX. Savanna’s pure intentions of doing the right thing no matter what, made it a no brainer to become close friends. Savanna and Cassie share a spiritual side and enjoy talking about their intuition with one another. Cassie calls Savanna her angel and is thankful for her open and honest heart.
Lucas Merideth
Groomsman
Morgan and Meredith, as he is affectionately known, met for the first time in that infamous pool at Pierce College during their freshman year at Crespi High School. Since then, they worked as Los Angeles County Ocean Lifeguards for many years, and enjoyed lots of mountain biking trips to Mammoth and throughout the Santa Monica Mountains.
Ali Gilmore
Bridesmaid
Ali and Cassie first met in 2015 in Lakewood through a mutual friend. Ali invited Cassie over one day to do an arts and crafts project. While they were concentrating on the project, Ali randomly stated, “How do adults find close girlfriends they can trust and get along with?” Little did they know that they were going to be in each other's lives from there on out. Ali and Cassie share a love for lifting weights, traveling to Lake Havasu, making lattes together, and enjoying a nice glass of chardonnay.
Trent Gilmore
Groomsman
Not long after Cassie and Morgan met, they took Ali and Trent to a Dodger game to celebrate the boys’ shared July 6 birthday. They quickly discovered their affection for vintage Volkswagens; Trent has a Bug, and Morgan a bus, plus both guys had previously worked as lifeguards. The couples love going to Lake Havasu together where they beat-the-heat sipping cold beverages and floating in the cool water.
Katie Campbell
Bridesmaid
Katie and Cassie met the night before Morgan and Cassie met for the first time. Jessica was hosting a girls' night and they've been in each other's life ever since. Before Cassie and Morgan moved in together, Lucas and Morgan would take Katie and Cassie on double dates throughout Santa Monica. Katie and Cassie enjoy painting their nails together during girls' night and indulging in a yummy cup of coffee. The pair also signed up to do a Triathlon sprint.
Eric Gillane
Groomsman
Eric and Morgan became friends when Morgan transferred to Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Station 36 in Carson. Cassie and Morgan joke around and commonly refer to Eric as Morgan's “work husband.” In reality, there are some months out of the year that Eric and Morgan sleep together more than Cassie and Morgan do (obviously not in the same bed).
Rachael Emerson
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Cassie met back in 2011 at Marymount College. They had one class together and didn't speak much to one another until they saw each other at a local bar one Friday night. Shortly after that, they became close friends, explored traveling, and joined a coed adult soccer league. Rachael and Cassie have been to Belize, the Bahamas, and over 20 trips to Mammoth Lakes. They both share a love for a good cocktail followed by dancing.
Read Peterson
Ring Bearer
Read, age 5, is Morgan’s nephew. He lives in Atlanta, GA with his little brother Bryce, and his mom and dad, Margot (Morgan’s sister) and Alan Peterson. He is in Pre-K at Heritage Prep School, and especially loves his Uncle Mo and Auntie Cassie. Read says he is ready for the Big Day in L.A.!
Rylee Jandra
Flower Girl
Rylee, age 2, Cassie's niece. She lives in Torrance, CA with her new little sister Finley, and her mom and dad, Lacey and Nate Jandra. She is currently taking ballet and swimming classes while being a new big sister! Rylee can't wait to dress up for the big day and see Uncle Mo and Aunt CoCo say I do.
Bryce Peterson
Ring Bearer
Bryce, age 4, will help his big brother Read at Uncle Mo and Auntie Cassie’s wedding. He attends Peachtree Presbyterian Pre-School three days a week, and like Uncle Mo, is an awesome swimmer. Although he is not entirely sure about his role on July 10, he is always ready for fun whenever called upon!
Brian Landers
Officiant
As a longtime and treasured family friend, Brian has been like an uncle to Morgan and someone he has always looked up to and admired. When Morgan introduced Cassie to Brian for the first time, Cassie knew it was a big deal. After many fun times hanging out together and sharing dinners at El Coyote, she too felt the special bond. Brian’s deep spirituality made him the only choice to be the couple’s officiant. Morgan and Cassie love Brian and can't wait to have him stand by their side on the biggest day of their lives.
