Wedding Party

We are so very thankful for the incredible family and friends that have agreed to stand with us on our big day. Meet the wonderful people who will be walking down the aisle with us.

MiKayla Pennings

Bride


Noah Thompson

Groom

MiKenzie Pennings

Maid of Honor

Sister of the Bride MiKenzie is a goofy, fun-loving, energetic young woman who loves to keep people on their toes. You will never know her next move, but it will probably be while on Facetime with MiKayla. She is just about to start her college career while also making a name for herself on the Lawrence soccer field. MiKayla and MiKenzie haven't always been close, but nowadays you can find them practically attached at the hip.


Cameron Bemowski

Best Man

Friend of the Groom Better known to friends as Bemo, Cameron is one of Noah's closest and longest friendships. The two have been there for each other since intermediate school and seem to think on the same wavelength whenever they are in a room together. More often than not, they catch up over Discord calls and late night gaming sessions together.

Kalea Thompson

Bridesmaid

Sister of the Groom Despite the 5 year age gap between them, Noah and Kalea are two peas in a pod together. Two semesters from graduating her undergraduate nursing program at UW Madison, Kalea lives a busy life. When you put Noah and Kalea together, there is no denying the relation. The mannerisms are similar, the logic and humor is the same, and these two could talk for hours about every topic under the sun.


Ryder Pennings

Groomsman

Brother of the Bride He's still young, but already becoming a Jack of All Trades. Ryder loves to woodwork, he can weld, he can hit a line drive, he can throw a fastball straight down the pipe. He has many talents and a bright future. Ryder enjoys tagging along with Noah and Kayla for even the most mundane errands and adventures. Ask him about the time Noah and Ryder went to the Wildlife Sanctuary sometime.

Elizabeth Tank

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride Many moons ago, two young ladies showed up to a soccer practice with a bunch of children as the only teens. Three weeks later those ladies were sharing a hotel room at a soccer tournament 2 hours from home. That trip sparked a long-distance, long-term friendship that has seen high school graduations, college graduations, and now their weddings only 5 months apart from each other.


Andrew McDougal

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom If it has a motor, Dougals can probably fix it. Whether it's working on a car, a motorcycle, or even a plane, Dougals spends many hours in the shop. He can put in 80 hours in a week at work and still happily go home to work on his next project vehicle. Fun fact about Dougals, he has his pilot license!

Paige Ness

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride Sometimes the people you meet on a whim become the most important to you. Almost a decade ago, at a high school football game, Paige and MiKayla met and realized that they were destined to be in each others lives. The two can go months without speaking just to pick back up as if they are sitting outside the gas station after a closing shift like they tended to do for many years during MiKayla's college career. Three hours could go by, but with the right person it feels like minutes.


Benjamin Wendlick

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom Ben and Noah have known each other for years, over a decade to be exact. These two love to play video games, catch up over Discord, hit up the casino, or even have a lowkey game night in the house. Ben and his other half Jen are friends connected to the bride and groom by an invisible string...Ben and Noah have known each other for years, Jen and MiKayla went to school together and have known each other for years!

Olivia Zimanek

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride and Groom Olivia has seen the good, bad, and the ugly sides of MiKayla, thanks to the years of living together in college...during a pandemic...four hours from home. MiKayla and Olivia got into some mischief joining Noah and his boys on adventures, but did it happily together. There is quite alot you can learn about a person when you are stuck inside the same four walls for a while.


Benjamin Sierralta

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom Ben has had a pretty busy last year and a half in life! Ben and Olivia got married last May and welcomed their sweet baby boy, Silas, into the world in October. Ben loves to spend time with his little family, catch up with friends when possible, and give extra love and attention to their furry babies, Murphy the pup and Graham the cat.

Cheyenne Fleming

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride If you look up the word genuine in the dictionary, you will find Cheyenne's picture. She lights up any room she enters and often inspires MiKayla to let loose and have fun. Cheyenne has a very deep heart for those around her while also being the life of the party. Whether its bar hopping, scoping the farmer's market, or coexisting in the same room Cheyenne and MiKayla can have fun together anywhere.


Daniel Cyrus

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom Danny is the type of person to make you laugh until your cheeks and sides are cramping. His naturally goofy personality brightens up the life of everyone he meets. Danny loves his video games, spontaneous adventures with friends, and catching up with the motorcycle group during the summer months. When asked, they aren't Noah and MiKayla to Danny, 'That's Mom and Dad.'

Zola VanBemmel

Flower Girl

Cousin of the Bride


Payne VanBemmel

Ring Bearer

Cousin of the Bride

Betsy Pennings

Mother of the Bride


Ryan Pennings

Father of the Bride

Jenny Wiegert

Mother of the Groom


Jon Wiegert

Stepfather of the Groom

Tai Thompson

Father of the Groom


Ed Borowitz

Officiant

Close Friend of the Bride and Groom Classic tale of coworker turned close friend. Ed started as the bouncer manager at the Sardine Can when Noah started, but quickly got to know Noah and MiKayla on a personal level. When he heard word that Noah had asked for permission to propose, he offered his services to ordain the service. When Noah proposed last June, the decision was a no-brainer to ask him to fulfill that offer.
