Wedding Party
Madeline Bilnoski
Maid of Honor
Madeline and Morgan became friends when they were in Kindergarten at Doss Elementary. Morgan being the outspoken child she was (and still is) made sure to let Madeline know that she wanted to be her best friend. Lucky for Morgan, Madeline obliged and they grew up spending practically all of their time together. From dance classes at SMSD, spending hours at the pool, going to watch Madeline's older sister at the Trojan Belles' spring show, and then finally becoming Belles together, these two were always attached at the hip. Morgan understood just how special their friendship was when they went their separate ways for college. Whenever the two would visit each other they picked up exactly where they left off and had an absolute blast while doing it. When Morgan and Mac got engaged she told Madeline that she has always had her best girl for her big day and the only thing that was missing was her best guy. Madeline has been one of the greatest blessings in Morgan's life.
Genevieve Hoffman
Bridesmaid
Morgan and Gen met for the first time at the Hoffman family Christmas in 2020. Being an older sister herself, Morgan began pondering how she would feel about a complete stranger coming into her family home with her little brother for a big holiday. Needless to say, there were lots of nerves, but Gen was incredibly gracious and welcoming to Morgan and her dachshund, Gus as they piled into the car and ventured to the Hoffman household from the airport. Throughout the week Morgan was able to experience Gen's wit, intelligence, and vast knowledge of just about everything. The two bonded over poking fun at Mac as well as their love for Harry Potter, and Morgan was thrilled to finally hear stories about Gen's college experiences and journey toward becoming the phenomenal appellate lawyer she is. Morgan's favorite thing about Gen besides her great style and love for a desert cocktail is how she is unapologetically herself at all times. Morgan feels incredibly lucky to be gaining Gen as a sister and is so thankful for her warm welcome into the Hoffman family.
Shelby Weinstein
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Morgan became friends in Kindergarten at Doss Elementary. They were in the same class and again, Morgan's ability to be completely and utterly direct worked out when she asked Shelby to be friends during nap time. Shelby is one of the most loyal friends Morgan has ever known. Morgan has had her silliest laughs with Shelby. These two were both lucky enough to attend The University of Texas at Austin where they took one class together their sophomore year. Morgan distinctly remembers walking to class one rainy morning and falling down a flight of stairs. Eventually Shelby picked her up, but first, there was abrupt laughter. Shelby will be celebrating her 27th birthday on the day of the wedding, so be sure to wish her a happy birthday on the dance floor!
Katherine Osborn
Bridesmaid
Katherine and Morgan became friends their sophomore year of College at UT. They were both Chi Omegas, but the brotherhood of Kappa Sigma is what brought these two together! Morgan remembers meeting Katherine and her now husband, Wesley at the Kappa Sigma house at a Dallas Cowboys watch party and the rest is history! The two lived at the Chi O house their junior year, but living in the same house wasn't close enough, so they ended up sharing a room the following year! They have experienced many of life's ups and downs with one another which is what makes their friendship so special. Morgan's favorite thing about Katherine is her wisdom. One piece of advice she gave Morgan that has always stuck with her is that your significant other has to be your teammate first. How fitting that Morgan is now marrying a basketball stud! Katherine is the epitome of what you should look for in a friend when you go to college.
Ciara Clark
Bridesmaid
Ciara and Morgan met at UT when they became Kappa Sig sweethearts together. Soon enough they were spending most of their free time together planning events for the pledges and sweethearts! From Texas Roundup, to Fiesta, Texas OU, their first ever Chili fest in the unknown land of College Station, a family visit to NYC, and eventful visit to Mexico, they have not stopped laughing or making very unforgettable memories. Morgan's favorite thing about Ciara is that she puts her family and friends first. She is always so quick to offer a helping hand to anyone for anything. If someone is in need of anything, Ciara is always there.
Lily Beveridge
Bridesmaid
Lily and Morgan became close and fast friends while they were co-counselors together at Camp Mystic for Girls in Shady Shack! Nothing tests a friendship like taking care of 20 7th grade girls in a cabin with no air conditioning for the entire month of June in the Texas Hill Country. It worked out! These two are always on the same page, and Morgan's favorite part about Lily is that she pushes others to do things outside of their comfort zone. Lily called Morgan in the summer of 2020 after Mac had just been deployed to Afghanistan and asked her to go back to Camp Mystic with her. It took some convincing, but of course she said yes and the dynamic duo were back at it. Morgan believes that going to camp that summer is what got her through Mac's deployment and the pandemic. Lily is a true and steady friend.
Ryan Morgan
Best Man
Ryan and Mac met when the two were attending college at West Point. Although Mac cannot remember exactly when they met, they were both athletes, system engineers, and had many of the same classes, so they often worked on assignments and projects together. Once the two graduated from West Point, they were both off to Fort Rucker, Alabama for flight school and decided to become roommates. A fun fact about Ryan and Mac is that they have matching eagle lamps that Devan (Ryan's wife) and Morgan (Mac's fiancé) bond over due to their strong dislike. Some of Mac's favorite memories with Ryan include being a groomsman in his wedding as well as being roommates.
Jack Zamen
Groomsman
Morgan introduced Mac to her beloved brother early on in their relationship, and Mac was happy to learn that they had so much in common besides his beautiful and charming sister. Jack is a Texas Aggie, despite generations of Longhorns in the Zamen family line, but that didn't stop Mac from wanting to get to know Jack. The two enjoy watching sports together and chatting about their future aspirations. Mac's favorite memories with Jack include going to the Army Navy football game in New York, playing beer pong during quarantine, and enjoying that one last beer after everyone else has gone to bed. Mac feels lucky to be gaining Jack as a brother.
Austin Brasher
Groomsman
Austin and Mac met when they were in 5th grade playing basketball together on a local AAU team. The two were fast friends, but their paths took them in opposite directions when Austin pursued football and Mac pursued basketball. Years later the two would end up in high school together after Mac left his public high school to attend De La Salle in Concord, California. Again, the boys went in opposite directions for college when Austin chose to attend SMU in Dallas and Mac headed to West Point in New York, but they would later reconnect again when Mac got stationed at Fort Hood and Austin was hired by a company in Dallas. Mac's favorite memories with Austin include trips to Austin's family lake house on Lake Shasta, and going to Maui together after high school graduation.
Kevin Ferguson
Groomsman
Mac met Kevin while playing basketball at West Point. They both played the same position and were in the same company, so they they spent most of their day together. After graduating from West Point, Kevin was able to stay as an AI for the basketball team during Mac's senior year. It was not until Mac left for Alabama and Kevin left for Fort Hood that they temporarily went their separate ways. Mac found out he would be going to Fort Hood after flight school, and in typical Kevin fashion, he took Mac under his wing. Soon enough Mac was practically the third roommate to Kevin and his fiancé Tori. This being said, it is no surprise that Kevin and Tori dropped Mac off for his first date with Morgan where the two casually ended up running into them later that evening. Some of Mac's favorite memories with Kevin include using his one of a kind electric shaver every morning at West Point because he refused to buy his own, playing basketball together, and spending countless weekends on the lake together.
Brent Richwood
Groomsman
Mac and Brent met soon after the Hoffmans moved to California in the same neighborhood that Brent's family lived in. The boys were almost 4 years old and they became fast friends when they met after school one day. Some of Mac's favorite memories with Brent include biking around and playing pool-basketball with other kids from the neighborhood. Another memorable experience the two share is when they visited the Hoffman house in Lake Tahoe but got snowed in and had to miss three days of school due to the roads being closed. The boys had a great time, but Rosanne might recall it differently! Mac is very thankful to have Brent stand by his side on his big day.
