Jennifer & Jared
Wedding Party
John Weinert
Man of Honor
Brother of the Bride. Johnboy used to be my mini-me (the resemblance was maybe a bit closer before that baseball broke his nose for the third time!). Now he is a hard-working farmer-dad that I respect and love to pieces. Life goals. There is no one I would rather have by my side on our special day!
Lance Nelson
Best Man
My brother. My partner. We learn from each other every day. I couldn't farm without him and his knowledge on newer farm equipment and practices. He is a great partner, a great friend, and most importantly a great brother.
Kristin Flater
Bridesmaid
Kristin is a forever-friend. We met all the way back in 4-H as kids. Horses, Mexican food, dive-bar bands, and a million other things along the way. Kristen is the most fun person that I know and the most take-charge lady who will do absolutely anything for a friend - no questions asked. She is also the best teacher ever. Life goals!
Mike Huppert
Groomsman
Mike and I met through our dads. Since he was a kid, he was a great mechanic and someone I could relate to and learn from. I can always call him if I have a question or something on my mind or just want to talk about IH tractors. I am so glad he will be there for our special day.
Stefanie Harris
Bridesmaid
Stef moved to Bruce in the 7th grade, and we've been friends ever since. She taught me how to do the dance to "Oops, I Did It Again" and highlighted my hair for the first time. And now she's pretty much the most amazingly cool working super-mom that I know. Life goals!
Phil Rohl
Groomsman
One of my many great cousins. Growing up we were both part of family farms and enjoyed the same things, especially auctions and dealer visits. All-around great guy with more John Deere knowledge than anyone I know. I was as happy to be there for his special day as he is for mine.
Jessica Tupa-Schaffer
Bridesmaid
Jess and I met as undergrads at UWRF and are now friends for life. Over the years, she introduced me to Chinese food, kicked my butt at the gym, and convinced me that I could possibly do a few things other than study and/or work. She is definitely the most kick-butt, no excuses, no limits, boss-lady businesswoman that I know. Life goals!
Jim Prissel
Groomsman
All-around great friend. From the first time I met Jim in our high school days, I knew he'd do anything for you. I had the pleasure of being with him and Tracey on their special day, and I'm glad he'll be there for Jen's and mine.
Amanda Weinert
Bridesmaid
Sister-In-Law of the Bride. I was so excited to finally have a sister! So many great nights chatting with a glass of wine while the guys bonded over farmer-talk. Amanda is a super-mom and hard-working nurse who is living the farmer-wife life. Life goals!
Travis Rohl
Groomsman
My cousin Travis and I became close in high school after he introduced me to a group of people that are still good friends today. He also made me very interested in agronomy and seed varieties that gets me excited for a new seed book every year. I look forward to him and his family enjoying joining us for our special day!
Ellen Rankins
Bridesmaid
Ellen and I met in grad school. We have helped each other through the down and the dirty (literally!) and even managed to have some fun along the way! She is crazy-smart, hard-working, no-nonsense, and a secretly stealthy master negotiator. Life goals! We've kept each other sane through the COVID pandemic, and I'm so grateful she is coming all this way to share our special day!
Ryan Joy
Groomsman
A good friend who has led to drive to events, go places, and do things that I normally wouldn't do. But most of all, I owe him eternal gratitude for introducing me to Jenny. We literally would not be here without him.
Caleb Johnson
Usher
Nephew of the Bride. It seems like yesterday Caleb was just a little boy chasing cats around at the farm. Now he's a baseball playing, computer-game master TEENAGER who also happens to be an amazing big brother! So happy to have him be a part of our special day!
Travis Brown
Usher
I've known Travis for a long time and in recent years he's become a great friend to Lance and I. An excellent equipment operator, I would trust him with anything I own. I'm so grateful that he and Andrea can join us on our special day.
Jon Runstrom
Officiant
Jonny is my "other brother". I used to be the big sister *trying* to keep the two Johns in my out of trouble (as much as possible!). Now they're somehow all grown up and super-dads, but still the most fun guys I know. I am so happy that Jonny is going to be officiating our wedding ceremony!
Cory Shella
Usher
He has been the neighbor and friend that all people wish they had. Someone I can count on for help any time. Through equipment breakdowns or busy times, we are able to help each other get the work done. I am grateful that he and his family will be a part of our special day.
Ross Weinert
Photographer
Brother of the Bride. Roski is a true "man-of-many-talents"! He took all the photos that we used for this website as well as the save-the-dates and invitations. He is the best, and I'm so happy that he is going to be helping us capture our special day!
