When Morgan and Carrasco met and got married

Morgan and Carrasco are high school sweethearts as they met when they attended the University of California, Berkeley where they each played soccer for the Golden Bears. Carrasco spoke to MLS Soccer.com about watching his future wife’s game evolve.

“Clearly, she had the athletic ability,” Carrasco told the outlet. “She was the fastest player on the team. She had an amazing left foot. She could strike a ball on a rope. And then she started to add things to her game, brick by brick. She got better tactically, she started watching more soccer, [and] her first touch got better.”

As The Knot noted, Carrasco asked Morgan to marry him in December 2013.

Morgan recalled that after he proposed they “rode our beach cruisers to my dad’s house to celebrate and have champagne with our family and friends.” She added: “We had spoken about what kind of engagement ring I wanted before the proposal, but I wasn’t really set on a specific style. He did have it custom-designed, though.”
