Madison & Austin

Brenk-Smith Wedding

Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends that are walking down the aisle with us!

Makenzie Brenk

Maid of Honor

Makenzie is my big sister (even though she's shorter than me). She has always been there to hold my hand, through our sister fights and all. Kenz has helped shape me into the person I am today. I'm beyond grateful that I get to call her my big sister and my maid of honor.

Anthony Smith

Best Man

Anthony is my older twin brother. we grew up doing everything together, and still enjoy spending time with each other. Anthony always says "Austin, you my hero," but really he is mine. I am excited to have him stand by my side, and I know he is too because everyone one he meets he lets them know " I'm my brothers best man. "

Anna Thier

Maid of Honor

Anna and I met in 6th grade at church youth group and immediately became best friends! We shared a music stand in orchestra class for the rest of the school year and when my family moved to Ham Lake we maintained our friendship. Anna has been like another sister to me, no matter the distance between us. I couldn't ask for a better person to stand by my side as one of my maids of honor!

Keaton Schoenrock

Best Man

Keaton is my best friend since fourth grade. It all started on the football field, and has spread to camping trips, cabins, fishing trips, and each others houses. Keaton and I have been causing mischief together since the day we met and we will continue to do so. Our houses were meeting spots after football. Our moms would ask "how many am I feeding today?" Keaton (and his family) took me deer hunting, duck hunting, snowmobiling, trapping, sucker spearing, fishing, and many more things for my first time. Im glad Keaton agreed to be my best man because it would have been a shame if I had to drag his backside up to stand by me.

Taryn Harper

Bridesmaid

Taryn and I met through football my freshman year of high school. Being football managers started us on the path to being best friends! The four of us (Taryn, Bo, Austin and I) have had some crazy adventures together over the years creating memories we will remember forever and a bond like no other. I'm beyond grateful for her friendship and to have her standing by my side when I marry Austin.

Bo Valnes

Groomsman

I met Bo freshman year at Blaine..once again, on the football field. Bo and I also were throwers together at Blaine. When Bo visits, you would think we were separated for years with the GIANT hug. Going on double dates with Bo to VaIi- Hi drive in and Flame burger after football games will be memories forever. I am grateful he agreed to be one of my groomsmen. it would not be the same without him.

Halle Litz

Bridesmaid

Halle and I met in high school our junior year. We ended up having a medical terminology class together and our bond grew stronger though more classes together. We might not get to see each other as often these days because of work, school and distance but every time we meet up we can pick up right where we left off. - Due to the increased risk from COID-19, Halle has decided not to be a bridesmaid. Though I will miss having her standing by my side, I understand this decision and still consider her my bridesmaid.

Tom Schowalter

Groomsman

Tom and I met...you guessed it, on the football field. Tom and I were in the C.E.M.S. program at Blaine and partnered up to do our final project with each other. Tom and I have grew up fishing together. His fish always look like they bigger than they actually are because he likes using his body as his measuring stick. " it was the size of my leg" well my friend that means its 24 inches 😜. Happy to have Tom be one of my groomsmen on the big day.

Amber Smith

Bridesmaid

Amber is Austin's older sister. Though we did not grow up together, we have still created many memories in the years Austin and I have been together. From family events, to getting our nails done, or even just lounging around the house, we have grown closer and I'm lucky to get to call her my sister.

Brian Larson

Groomsman

I met Brian about the same time I met Keaton. Brian has been another friend that will last a lifetime. We grew up going fishing together and has taught me a lot about fishing. Every time we go fishing, someone is either tangled, caught on shore, caught in the motor, caught in the trolling motor, or caught in the trees.. that someone is typically me and Brian is the one to fix it. I sent Brian a picture of my first deer and as a response he sent me his 10 point buck that made it look like mine could have been a snack. Brian is one of my longest friends and I am happy he could join in being a groomsmen.

Gabby Romans

Junior Bridesmaid

Gabby is my cousin. I was about her age when I met Austin, which is crazy to think! I've loved watching her grow into an amazing young woman that loves animals, softball and has such a loving heart! Though she lives in Florida I'm blessed she is able to be part of this special day as my junior bridesmaid. - Madison

Gracie Romans

Junior Bridesmaid

Gracie is my cousin. We often get told how much she looks like I did at her age. She is spunky and adventurous and I can't wait to see all the places that will take her as she continues grow into an amazing young lady. Though she lives in Florida I'm blessed to have her be part of our special day as a junior bridesmaid! -Madison
