Our Story

Morgan grew up in Andersonville, a northern neighborhood of Chicago with her younger sister Hannah. She attended Loyola Academy in Wilmette where she played tennis and soccer. Morgan fell in love with Wake Forest, applied early decision, and was accepted. She graduated in May 2018 with a degree in Mathematical Business. Morgan loves planning trips with Mitch and her friends, finding the best restaurants wherever she is, and snuggling her lovable pup Bailey.

Mitch grew up in Fairfield, Connecticut as the oldest brother to two younger sisters. At his high school, Fairfield Prep, Mitch excelled in sports, including football and rugby. Mitch was also captivated with Wake Forest and applied early decision. He was accepted and signed on to the club rugby team, where he later became team captain. He graduated in 2017 with a degree in Finance. Mitch enjoys watching Wake Forest football, hanging out with his friends, and hitting up Charlotte’s breweries.

Mitch and Morgan’s romance began in 2016 during Mitch’s senior year and Morgan’s junior year at Wake. Morgan had gone abroad early her sophomore year so she was without all her close friends who were abroad that semester. Meeting Mitch was the silver lining of being without her friends in Europe. In the first week of school, they ran into each other at a mixer for Mitch’s fraternity, Kappa Sig. Shortly after, Mitch asked Morgan to his mountain weekend and the rest was history :).

After his graduation, Mitch moved to Charlotte to begin his job as an M&A analyst at Fifth Third Bank. Morgan was in her senior year at Wake Forest and missed Mitch dearly. She missed him so much she even Ubered 2 hours to Charlotte late one night from a party at Wake Forest. When it was time for her graduation, Morgan also chose Charlotte and accepted a position at EY.

The pair first lived apart, but not too far from each other. They were exactly one floor away in the same apartment building in Uptown. They worked hard, explored their new city, and made amazing new friends together. In 2020, they closed the one floor gap and moved into a townhome in South End. They have loved making it their home and settling in with their dog, Bailey.

On July 6, 2021, Mitch asked Morgan to marry him in the South of France. He planned the most amazing engagement and Morgan was beyond excited! Back in Charlotte, Mitch pulled off an amazing surprise party with more friends and family. They have been enjoyed celebrating, planning their wedding, and settling into their new home in Charlotte!
