Morgan & Noah
Meet The Party
Kristen Bryant
Maid of Honor
“Friends” is an understatement. These two are soul sisters. Although Kristen and Morgan met just in 2015 while coaching, it feels as if they’ve known each other a lifetime. They have near-identical personalities, say the same things constantly, and fully believe that no one will ever understand them the way they understand each other. Through the joy, the laughter, the tears, and the pain that life has brought on, Kristen has been by her side through it all. She truly couldn’t ask for a more loyal and unconditionally loving person to be by her side on this special day.
Myles Cullenberg
Best Man
Noah's first and longest of friends since moving here to Alaska, Myles is more like family. They've been by each other's sides through high school, football, commercial fishing, and everything in between. You could say the bromance is real between these two. From high school to now, when they’re together, it’s all the fun and laughter... and maybe even some trouble. With a history like they have, Myles’ speech is bound to be full of embarrassing stories of Noah, so be sure to catch it!
Maddy Yaskus
Bridesmaid
There is no love like little sister love. Some days they yell and fight, while other days they joke and laugh until they ugly cry. Morgan considers Maddy to be one of her absolute best friends. She keeps Morgan young, loves her no matter what, and pushes her to be a better person every day. There’s not much more a girl could ask for. She may be younger, but Morgan absolutely looks up to Maddy for her heart of gold.
Matt Thygeson
Groomsman
Matt and Noah met back when they were 14 while attending the same high school and working together at Home Depot. Back then, their free time was mostly spent playing Madden and Wildcat riding. Now, Matt has joined the Air Force and him and his wife, Rachel, are living in Arizona. Their friendship still holds strong though, thanks to Fortnite and group texts. We can’t wait to see them again for our special day!
Taylor Thygeson
Bridesmaid
To be able to build a friendship with the wife of one of your fiancés best friends is honestly a blessing. From bowling to game nights to girl talk while the guys are bro-ing out, there’s never a dull moment. Most importantly, Morgan gained an amazing, down-to-earth person into her life. From day one, Taylor has kept it real and been someone Morgan can always count on. Their wedding day wouldn’t be the same without both Taylor and Mark by each of their sides!
Mark Thygeson
Groomsman
Nope, you’re not seeing double... Well, kinda! Mark is Matt’s twin brother who is also in the Air Force. Mark and his wife, Taylor, are currently stationed here in Alaska, so him and Noah typically spend their weekends bowling, snowboarding, or just hanging out with their friends and families. Most often- losing every type of card and/or board game to Morgan and Taylor... In all seriousness, Noah and Mark truly have a ride-or-die friendship and they couldn’t imagine their wedding day without him!
Tessa Hopkins
Bridesmaid
After meeting in high school, Tessa and Morgan quickly became inseparable. They could be found together in classes, at homecoming, prom, church, and every day after school. Endless drives, singing in the car, and binge watching HGTV are just a few of Morgan’s favorite memories. Although college and work make it a lot harder for these two to spend time together now, Morgan couldn’t imagine her special day without Tessa there.
Jordan Ballard
Groomsman
Since high school, Jordan and Noah have been known for being the life of the party when they’re together! It is literally impossible to be in a bad mood when these two are around you. Hands down, the best part about Jordan is his untamed personality and ability to live in the moment. He never fails to keep the mood light and make sure everyone is having fun. Jordan will be the first person to hit the dance floor, no doubt!
