Whitney is Morgan's built-in best friend. Morgan was lucky enough to be able to grow up with Whitney, and now she is Morgan's go-to anytime she needs someone to talk to, laugh with, or vent to. If you know Morgan, she loves playing any sort of game and usually she can count of Whitney to join in with her. Whitney knows how to have a good time, can make anyone in the room laugh, and is a good friend to everyone. Recently, Whitney became a mother for the first time to the most adorable baby boy, Kaycen!

Nate is Tate's best friend, otherwise known as his "husband", his golf partner, his everything (obviously besides Morgan).

They are the self-proclaimed "best two-man scramble team" ever.
Bridesmaid
Jordan is another one of the Main St. Pub crew. They both also worked together at Rush Creek Bistro (I guess they liked working together). The two were often confused for one another and were one in the same. In 2020, Morgan and Jordan moved in together and spent most of COVID living next to a taco shack and across from a liquor store downtown Grand Rapids. They lived together for 3 years, during that time Jordan adopted a dog, they both graduated college and they started their careers. Jordan is now the mother to her adorable daughter, Sawyer!

Andreas was Tate's host brother during his exchange year in Denmark. He showed Tate everything there was around Denmark, brought him everywhere he went, and the two became best friends.

Andreas and his family will be traveling from Denmark to come to wedding, make sure to say hi!
Bridesmaid
Maddie and Morgan met during their freshman year of college through a mutual friend. Two years later, Morgan was looking for roommates and Maddie had an extra room in her apartment, and the rest is history! The two were pretty inseparable whether it was going on walks with Maddie's dog Charli, going shopping, making dinner, or just hanging out. Maddie just finished nursing school in North Dakota and is now a full time Oncology Nurse! Maddie is always a good time and is always down for anything, if you see her - ask her about her time in Fargo!

Bridesmaid
Taylor is the third of the Main St. Pub Crew! A big event for the Main St. Pub Crew was going to watch Taylor's hockey games at the ice rink down the road. Taylor and her husband also lived in the house in Grand Rapids with Jordan and me. While living there we established ourselves as a little "family" and Taylor was our "mom". We had many family dinners, played lots of games, and spent lots of time together! Fun fact: while living there, Taylor and Andy had their first child, Avery! While living together, Taylor, Morgan, and Avery would go on walks together in the park. Sometimes, Morgan would even get invited to go to Avery's swim lessons! Another fun fact about Taylor: She's from Canada!

Shane is the second oldest of the DeJonge brothers. Tate and Shane are only a year and a half apart, so growing up the two were always very competitive.

Bridesmaid
Paige will be Morgan's sister-in-law after the wedding! The two will soon be fighting for the "Favorite Daughter-In-Law" title, and let me tell you, Morgan has some competition!
