An Actor and a Model Incorporate Their Mutual Love of Old Hollywood into Their Big Day

Morgan Calhoun & William Adams
March 3, 2023

The stage was set for Morgan Calhoun and William Adams to fall in love. In 2018, the pair met at the Bishop Arts Theater while participating in a reading in which they played husband and wife. Their chemistry was undeniable. “We had that initial spark and all-out giddiness when it all started,” Morgan remembers. “But the thing that told me this was different was the way I saw him leading as a godly man, his humility, and his commitment to his faith and to our relationship.” The couple dated for two years before getting engaged, and on March 3, 2023, the theatrical pair’s glamorous Olana wedding echoed their mutual love of Old Hollywood.

Morgan Calhoun & William Adams' Wedding, Bridal Suite with Bridesmaids

Girl Time

Morgan and her ‘maids enjoyed their time getting ready together at The Olana. The venue’s bonus spaces—which include a movie theater, basketball court, bowling alley, handsome study, and beautiful getting-ready suites—were part of what sold the couple on it. “That bridal suite was insane!” Morgan says.
