Madison & Charles
Wedding Party
Maria Mirande
Maid of Honor
From next door dorm neighbors to best friends to roommates, Madison and Maria have endured honors classes, Mug Clubs, extra curricular leadership committees, and, of course, relationships. From "do you think he likes me?" to "do you think he's going to propose?" they've been friends through all of Madison and Charlie's relationship. Maria has known Charlie since high school theatre. While they didn't plan on continuing to be friends in college, Madison has made that impossible. Madison is so thrilled to have Maria standing by her side. "Look! Listen." Here's to many more nights of staying sexy and not getting murdered.
Brian Pierson
Best Man
Brian and Charlie met first in the Indianapolis Youth Choral. When they auditioned for A Cappella at Ball State, they had no idea what great friends they would become. From Unexpected Resolution rehearsals to Zoom game nights, Brian and Charlie have embraced their nerdy sides. Whether they're planning their next concert outing or their next distillery tour, you'll always find Charlie, Brian, and Madison dreaming of Savages dinners.
Scarlett Keane
Bridesmaid
Since their awkward phases in the seventh grade, Scarlett and Madison have been best friends through middle school and beyond. As each other's first "wifees," they have shared many sleepovers, lake days, and international adventures. Whether they're sharing a cup of hot tea or a glass of good wine, they're strong influences on each other (although not sure if good or bad). Madison is so honored to have her oldest friend standing by her side on her wedding day. Here's to many more moments as wonderful as seeing the Eiffel Tower together and saying "oh my goodness--it sparkles!"
Sam Meyer
Groomsman
Like his best man, Charlie and Sam also met in Unexpected Resolution at Ball State. Over the four years at Ball State, they became great friends. From late night shenanigans just south of The Village to late night shenanigans playing Dungeons and Dragons via Zoom, Charlie is lucky to have Sam in his life--almost as lucky as Madison is to have Emma in hers. You'll find the foursome dreaming of Farmer's markets, floating down the White River, and fawning over their dogs. Charlie is so excited to have Sam singing--I mean standing up along side him.
Megan Wiening
Bridesmaid
While Megan and Madison met in middle school, they re-kindled their friendship post-college over their shared love of their dogs, Fort Wonderful, and the Bachelor. If they're not enjoying a coffee date with their dogs or people watching at The Deck, they're probably besting their significant others in a friendly game of euchre. Madison had the honor of standing next to Megan on her wedding day, and she is so thrilled to have Megan standing next to her. Love you to the Moon and to Saturn. Here's to another "dramatic season" of life!
Joe Cummings
Groomsman
Charlie met Joe about 23 years ago. When they weren't tormenting their younger sister and the family cats, they were enjoying family vacations and busy extra curriculars. In their adult lives, Charlie and Joe bond over their love of traveling, good food, and every dog they've ever met. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your brothers, so Joe and Charlie are just stuck with each other. In all seriousness, Charlie and Madison are very excited to have Joe stand along side them on their special day.
Rachel Johnson
Bridesmaid
Through their shared love of volunteering, the Muncie Mission, and Taylor Swift, Madison and Rachel become instant best friends. They've shared many bottles of Oliver's wine, coffees from the Caffeinery, and late night conversations. As the Ann Perkins to Rachel's Leslie Knope, Madison would not be where she was today in the world of nonprofit without Rachel! Madison is so lucky to have Rachel standing next her on her special day. Here's to many more brunches with "literally" the best person.
Andy Thieme
Groomsman
This may be "unexpected," but Andy and Charlie also met while singing together in Unexpected Resolution at Ball State. After singing together for a year (in three separate groups), they decided to share an apartment. Whether they were living it up in Funcie or taking weekend trips to Andy's farm, Charlie, Andy, and Madison shared many great memories. From late night jam sessions to singing at College Ave Methodist to ongoing nerf gun fights, Charlie and Andy are always down discuss their new favorite record or chase a turkey or two. Charlie is so excited to have Andy stand along side him on his special day!
Calypso
Dog of Honor
Madison and Charlie couldn't have their wedding without their favorite girl. They adopted Callie in the fall of 2018. While the following few months were a challenge, every moment since has been worth it (except for the moments when she is rolling in something dead). Most weekends, you can find Madison, Charlie, and Calypso hiking in their favorite state park or napping together on the couch. Accompanied by Kendall, Calypso will be barking down the aisle to offer her support and maybe a song or two.
Kendall Fogwell
Dog Handler
As Madison's oldest younger sister, Kendall has already surpassed her in TikTok fame. Together, they love trying new recipes, smothering their animals with love, and tormenting their younger brother. Madison is trusting Kendall with her favorite dog (but she knows Kendall will do the best job).
Anna Cummings
Reader
After spending most of their life in the same house. Anna and Charlie certainly love each other and even like each other (most of the time). From childhood fun to college town adventures, Anna and Charlie have shared family cars, great memories, and a healthy amount of sarcasm. Since entering into the picture, Madison and Anna have bonded over their love of cats and making fun of the Cummings brothers. Anna, Charlie, and Madison are always ready sit down with a good book or show off their favorite coffee shops. Charlie and Madison are honored to have Anna speak during their ceremony.
Anna Mitchel
Officiant
Anna and Charlie have known each other since high school theatre. When they all became friends in college, Madison, Anna, and Charlie (and Maria!) shared many game nights, theatre outings, and movie showings. Anna and her partner remain Madison and Charlie's favorite part about Muncie, IN. With someone as wonderful and charismatic as Anna, it's no wonder Madison and Charlie chose her to officiate their wedding. Here's to a future as wonderful as the Disney Channel Original "Cow Belles!"
Jacob Fogwell
Usher
As Madison's favorite brother, Jacob has the responsibility of staying cute and young forever. While he can ice skate circles around his older sisters, Jacob still gives the best hugs. He'll help welcome everyone to the ceremony (while maybe taking a break to tell Calypso she's the best girl)
Ruby Lyon
Usher
As Madison's youngest sister, Ruby has far surpassed her old sister's technological abilities. She can build an entire world before Madison can even switch the TV input. As a Tootsie Roller (jr. Derby Girl), Ruby also knows how to be tuff. She's ready to welcome you and keep everyone in line!
