“My name is Morgan, I was paired with Dalton my freshman year of high school at Middletown. Our friendship grew so strong through high school it kept us together even when I was away for college. Fast forward to now, we are still best friends even with the new obstacles life presents as being an “adult” and living on Opposite sides of the state. I got married a few months ago and Dalton was my “Something Blue”, my good luck😊 
Thank you for giving me a best friend for life!

This was our first picture at our match party and our most recent picture at my wedding!”
