Wedding Party

Robert Wernsman

Groom

JP Penton

Bride

Kyle Keating

Officiant

Trivia Host turned Officiant. Kyle can get a crowd laughing in no time so what better than to ask him to be an Officiant. Relatable, humorous, and quite the party - and makes a mean Espresso Martini. "Ain't no party like the after-party cuz the after-party don't stop" pretty much summarizes Kyle.

Dan Penton

Brother of the Bride

The best brother JP could have ever wanted and the guy who will be walking her down the aisle!

Cody Johnson

Best Man

Known this guy since childhood, an Abingdon native currently living near Nashville, TN. Have lots of memories involving dirtbikes, dumb Youtube videos, and some excellent NYE parties.

Erika Hollander

Matron of Honor

As with many origin stories, Erika and JP both thought they hated each other when they first met. That was until Physics 221 where they worked together to make it through. That bond stuck with them all throughout college where they became roommates and shared EVERYTHING - from shoes and clothes to what was on the down low.

Dan Hoynoski

Groomsman

A fellow Microsoftey, started at work the same day! Excellent friend, great dog translator, and aspiring ski legend.

Andrea Rider

Maid of Honor

My longest and oldest Gal Pal and greatest of all time. The bond we have has been unbreakable over the years. Andrea and JP met in 2nd grade when Andrea's mom introduced her to the after-school program. JP raised her hand to become friends with her and ever since then they were known as the duo. Fun Fact: Andrea was key in helping Robert propose to JP.

Jacob Verheyen

Groomsman

A fellow Illinois native, met at Iowa State. We've shared a few classes, many 'free pizza info sessions' on campus, and lots of great memories. Also the previous provider of nearly all our college apartment furniture.

Rachael Wernsman

Bridesmaid

If you ever have trouble figuring out what is fashionable, Rach is the person to seek. Every holiday or birthday JP can always count on some little surprise from her. Family is important to her, and JP is excited to call her a sister!

George Alphonse

Groomsman

Shared many classes, study sessions, and bar crawls. Longtime college roommate from the Iowa State days and a great friend.

Alyssa Severson

Bridesmaid

When you adopt a dog you meet all kinds of characters and essentially are forced to socialize - BUT with Alyssa there was nothing forceful about it. She is one genuine gal and one of our most trusted confidants. Our activities range from brunching and thrifting to crafting and singing. The singing is usually accompanied by dancing, so catch us on the dance floor.

Tyler Sands

Groomsman

Met on a friend's trip to Oregon. Fellow car nut, twistie road enjoyer, and fun person to talk to. Looking forward to visiting again, either at your place near Seattle or on some sort of tropical getaway (not sure which is more likely).

Jessica Zhu

Bridesmaid

Jess is one of the most hilarious people and truly possesses what it means to "just be yourself". The stories I have with her in Seattle are priceless and when I think back on them, I always laugh. Her apartment was below me which it almost felt like we were roommates at a distance. I could always count on her for dinner dates, Asian communications, and entertaining commentary.

Thomas Dyring

Groomsman

A San Jose native and hockey connoisseur. Always a great time tagging along to see a Sharks game or just going out for some grub!

Ali Rancourt

Bridesmaid

Ali and JP are the definition of a buddy system! They are quite the duo whether it be for concerts, crafts, or gym. Ali was one of JP's first California friends and music is what brought them together - along with spontaneity. Funny enough they both own the same bikes - and I'm not talking the bicycling kind.

Malaayiah Clyce

Flower Girl

Pronounced Ma-Lay-A. Pretty in Purple and JP's niece, this gal is going to be one fashionista!

Gianna Penton

Flower Girl

The Lil' Nugget! This 3-year old gal is JP's brother's daughter and is a bundle of energy.

Andi Penton & Susan Wernsman

Mothers of Bride & Groom

Mothers of Multiples (MOM) and the best the world has to offer! Helping organize and very dependable.

Mai & Danielle

Honor Attendant

"WE ARE FAMILY! I got all my sisters and me." The song speaks for itself, and JP is honored to have them help her with everything.
