Our Love Story

Erika Wordell (nee. Gosch) is Morgan's cousin and best friend all-in-one. From growing up together, then living in the dorm at GPLHS, and then continuing college together at MLC, Erika has seen Morgan at every stage. The best stage so far was easily Erika being a part of the surprise engagement!

Joe isn’t just the groom’s older brother—he is Ben’s first friend. He’s been the steady and consistent presence from childhood all the way to his college adventures, and been there for countless moments that shaped who the groom is today. Having him as Best Man is a reminder of the bond they’ve always shared.

Joe Schmunk

Jocelyn has seen Morgan from childhood, to then GPLHS together, and now today! Jocelyn has been the comedic, relatable cousin and friend that Morgan never gets sick of. Jocelyn and Morgan always joke that one day, after Jocelyn graduates from Creighton Dental, that the two are going to open up "Oh My Gosch!! Dental." Morgan is so blessed to have Jocelyn as a part of her day!

Jocelyn Gosch

Sam’s first interaction with Ben was while he was doing “stand up”. No, all evidence has been destroyed. Their friendship grew after college while watching their favorite NBA team, the Timberwolves, at Orion Pub.

Sam Billion

Kylie is Morgan's littlest sister! She's constantly impressing everyone around her with her art talent and ability to take on what seems to be 100 AP classes. Kylie has been an important part in shaping Morgan to be the "mother hen" big sister that she is.

Kylie Gosch

From childhood bully and bullyer to fraternity brothers, and now groosman. Looking back at it, it is crazy how we got here. Jack’s ability to be the life of a party is unparalleled. He will always pick you up when you are down with the compliment you needed to hear in that moment. Example: “Hey man, your mustache looks great!”

Jack Van Veldhuizen

Morgan met Bridget coaching volleyball at SoDak and instantly knew the two of them would be great friends! Traveling the Midwest and coaching together, the two grew close doing what they love! Morgan is so thankful for Bridget!

Bridget Bierl

Logan and Ben became friends following college while in Sioux Falls. If you ever need someone to give you a good nickname, this is the guy to talk to. Yes, he coined the nickname queso blanco, and always finds a way to make Ben laugh. 

Logan Kobernusz

Alexis is the middle sister of Morgan -- the witty, cunning one of the group. Alexis and Morgan share a plethora of memories together from traveling the country with club sports to late night Target runs, and their most recent sister trip to Florida. Morgan is so blessed to have Alexis as a part of her day!

Alexis Gosch

Keanu and Ben met while at SDSU, but their friendship really grew while they were in Sioux Falls and going to the local climbing gym. Although Keanu is out west being the coolest person on earth fighting wildland fires, their friendship hasn’t skipped a beat. 

Keanu Phumipraphat

God knew Morgan needed a Rachel in her life when the two started at SFLS together! Instantly becoming friends, Morgan would find herself in Rachel's classroom almost daily (Rachel is Type A; Morgan is a Type C...) Morgan wouldn't survive juggling 12 grades with out Rachel -- and now, on her big day!

Rachel Borchardt

A friendship that started in Brookings while attending SDSU and has continued to grow since. Evan has always been willing to go on “side-quests” even when those sidequests do not go as planned. Ask him about our guaranteed win.

Parker and Ben have known each other for years, since Parker is Ben’s brother-in-law. Ben really got to know Parker during his brief stint at SDSU before going to Omaha. You can rely on Parker to help you at the grill or the smoker, which is one of Ben’s favorite traits about him. 

Parker Smith

Antonio is one of our ushers for the wedding, and we could not be more excited to have such a fun, caring, and genuine person to be a part of the wedding party. Fun Fact: Antonio was the one who took our proposal photos. 

Antonio Phumipraphat

Sadie is Morgan's cousin's daughter. Morgan cherishes memories of meeting up with Sadie and Rebecca at Lola's in New Ulm and watching Sadie grow up while Morgan was in college. We can't wait for Sadie to be a part of our big day!

Sadie Dittbenner

Son of Joe and Amanda Schmunk and lover of books, trains, and lots of uncle time! We love having James as a nephew!

James Schmunk

Daughter of Parker and Gabriela Smith -- the newest addition to the Schmunk family! She is the sweetest, smiley little girl and we love time with Ms. Emmy!
