The Wedding Website of Amy Kennedy and Jonathan Wise
Meet the wedding party who we want to be highlighted as each one has made a significant impact on our relationship and lives.

Ben Vanden Boogaard

Groomsman

Ben entered Jonathan's life as a 'random roommate' their freshman year of college at UW-La Crosse. They clicked right away, formed a band, and creating many memories together. Ben currently is a musician (*Plug* Of The Orchard) and has traveled across the globe to spend time with us. If you are looking for Ben at the wedding, he will be on the dance floor singing harmony to every song played.


Casie Kamph

Bridesmaid

Amy & Casie met senior year of high school when Amy would crash Casie's art class while she was a student aide for a teacher that never needed anything. It started with quiet, funny comments, to eventually getting invited to "Casie's Favorite's" aka her house for whatever was yummy in her freezer. The friendship continued into college once Dayna & Amy eventually convinced her to come to UW-Eau Claire. After being roommates, studying abroad in Europe together, & countless friendcations together, Amy needs her by her side for such a momentous occasion to break the tension & make her laugh, all while reminding her how special the day is. If you are looking for Casie at the wedding, she will be living it up on the dance floor & chatting your ear off about her perfect dog Baxter!

Grant Bargender

Grant met Jonathan at UW-La Crosse as they both pursued a career in Athletic Training. They were lab partners and then roommates, hosting the best party's and always stopping at Kwik Trip on the way home from the bars. If you are looking for Grant at the wedding, he will be singing Backstreet Boys with a Busch Latte in his hand.


Dayna Meincke

Bridesmaid

Amy & Dayna first met in high school at some point, but the most memorable moment of the start of their friendship was Spanish class where they would pass pictures instead of notes back & forth. One exciting day at lunch, they were microwaving cookies for the perfect amount of time, 13 seconds, when Amy found out Dayna was also going to UW-Eau Claire. They hung out all throughout college & were even roommates senior year. When Jonathan got a job in Birmingham, AL it was fate that Dayna was working at the Zoo in town. All three of them enjoyed quality brews, hikes, & game nights. Amy & Jonathan can't imagine such a momentous occasion without her by their side. If you are looking for Dayna at the wedding, she will be shredding up the dance floor & checking out the late-night snacks!

Alex Mann

Groomsman

Alex first met Jonathan in the hospital, at birth. Seriously. Well kind of. They both went to the hospital day-care and have been friends ever since. They played tennis together in high school and continue to push each other on the golf course. If you are trying to find Alex at the wedding, he will be giving out business cards and networking near the bar, giving out free (and unsolicited) advice on the topic of your choice and your golf swing.


Amelia Neas

Bridesmaid

Amy & Amelia met at UW-Eau Claire when Amy, Casie, & Dayna were looking for a 4th roommate. As luck would have it, Amelia, aka Meels, joined the crew & a forever friendship was formed. Amy sadly only had one college year with Amelia, but Amy's senior year was made 1000x better with Meel's fun facts, wit, contagious excitement, & ready to do anything attitude. Thankfully, Amy and Amelia have been able to connect up after college for weekend trips, friendcations, and continue to keep the 207 Chipp spirit alive with video hangs. Amy couldn't imagine such a momentous occasion without her. If you're looking for Amelia at the wedding, she will be convincing the DJ to play some 2000's pop bangers and offering up her expertise on any random topic you throw her way!

Cory Blada

Groomsman

Cory grew up with Jonathan in Baraboo as they played soccer and tennis together. Their friendship continued to grow after college and has included watching many Packer games, playing board games, and starting a disc golf empire (*Plug* Boars Boys Disc Golf). Recently, Cory and Jonathan both successfully rode 2020+ miles in 2020 pushing each other to achieve such a feat. If you are looking for Cory at the wedding, he will be line dancing and telling everyone how 'Texas' he is while sipping on water and whiskey.


Morgan Perron

Bridesmaid

Morgan is Amy's only girl cousin. Memories start with family trips to Duluth to visit their grandparents & swim in the hot tub, to family vacations to Disneyland as children that then transitioned into Mexico when they were older. Morgan is a couple of years older than Amy, but would always invite her to birthday, Halloween, & New Year's parties. Amy always thought she was SO COOL & her tight-knit friend group always did the most fun things... like a flour fight in dark clothes in a local park after dark LOL! Morgan also taught Amy that having a Facebook profile picture of a rubber duck wasn't cool. She was right & Amy is very thankful for her guidance! If you're looking for Morgan at the wedding, she will be with the cutest baby & newest addition to the family... other than Jonathan ;)

Zach Kennedy

Groomsman

Zach is Amy's younger brother. He is smart, loyal, funny, and mad Mario Karter... although Jonathan gives him a run for his money. Jonathan and Zach go back and forth about sports, videogames, and give each other the brotherly tough-joking love they both desperately desired having to both grow up with a sister. Jonathan an avid Wisconsin sports fan constantly tries to rile Zach up with his love of sad Minnesota sports. If you are looking for Zach at the wedding, he will be dancing the night away and smashing some late-night pizza!


Sarah Wise

Bridesmaid

Sarah is Jonathan's big sister and role model. She is fierce, bold, funny, intelligent, and adventurous. There are really too many amazing stories and memories to try to share as they continue to accumulate, but exploring the world, trying ALL of the beer, and sharing too many laughs to count continues to be Amy and Sarah's favorite things to do. If you are looking for Sarah at the wedding, she will be saving the day, dancing to all of the best songs, and spending quality time with everyone.

Zach is Jonathan's cousin and closest family member by age. They grew up playing spy on the adults and older cousins as secret members of the Nazrat organization.

Justin Holman

Justin is Jonathan's cousin and most recent house-mate. Jonathan has also looked up to Justin as the closest elder cousin and as they've grown, shared in many common interests of music, sports, festivals, hiking, skiing, botany, and growing beards (some more successful than others..).
