Wedding Party
Madison Smith
Bride
I am the bride and my passion in life is being a NICU nurse. I love Jesus, Jeremy, my family, sports (of any kind) but specifically softball and golf. I love hanging out with friends, traveling, going to concerts, and dancing. My favorite kind of food is Mexican and my favorite music genre is Country or Christian. I have been dreaming about this day for as long as I can remember and I cannot wait to marry my handsome best friend.
Jeremy Krise
Groom
I am the groom and I am a Mechanical Engineer. My main hobbies are golfing, hunting, and fishing. I love spending time with my future wife, whether that is traveling, going to concerts, golfing, or hanging out with family and friends. I am thankful I found my forever bestfriend and look forward to what the next chapter of our lives together has in store.
Taylor Smith
Maid of Honor
I’m the bride’s favorite sister (okay… the only sister 😉), and the creative brain behind all things artistic—especially the wedding décor. When I’m not crafting or designing, I work as an Environmental Health and Safety Engineer. I love spending time with my family, my friends, and my two cats, Eddison and Ozzie. My favorite food is sushi, and my playlists are filled with Country, Hard Rock, and Christian music.
Jake Feldbauer
Best Man
Hi everyone, I’m Jacob, the best man, and I’ve had the privilege of knowing Jeremy for 23 years from when we were kids all the way through our time at Penn State together. These days I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Tennessee, but outside the lab you can usually find me fly fishing, snowboarding, or skateboarding. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in our two decades of friendship, it’s that Jeremy is loyal, steady, and the kind of person who truly shows up for the people he loves. Seeing him find a partner who matches his heart and energy makes me incredibly happy, and I’m honored to stand beside them as they start this next chapter together.
Gianna Smith
Bridesmaid
I have known Maddie my whole life, as she is my older cousin, and she has always been someone I look up to. I’m truly honored to be a part of her wedding. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling, watching sports (especially baseball), photography, and horseback riding.
Brock Smith
Groomsman
I’ve known the groom for about 10 years, ever since he started dating my sister, and as the bride’s brother, I’ve had a front-row seat to their relationship from the start. Somewhere along the way, he became more than just “my sister’s boyfriend” and truly became family. We’ve spent countless hours golfing, hunting, and fly fishing, usually turning everything into a friendly competition. Even when we butt heads, I’ve always enjoyed our time together. Growing up with my sister, I know she has been dreaming about this day for as long as I can remember. Seeing her marry someone who is loyal, funny, and cares deeply for the people he loves makes me incredibly happy for her. I’m currently attending Penn State majoring in business finance, and in my free time, I flip steaks at Hoss’s.
Brittany Krise
Bridesmaid
I met Maddie through my brother, Jeremy, and quickly gained not just a sister-in-law, but a friend. I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this amazing couple! I like to cook/eat, travel, and love on my two golden retrievers, Brew and Stella.
Eric Liddle
Groomsman
I've had the privilege of knowing Jeremy since he was 8 years old. I've also been fortunate enough to have an amazing family like the Krise's as a part of my life for the last 15 years. I'm very excited that he's chosen such a wonderful woman as his match in Madison. I'm looking forward to continuing to have another incredible family like the Smith's become a part of my life now too. I love my dogs, my friends, family, and fudge.
Emily Teribery
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Em and I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my husband, our cat son — Pope Francis — and our family. I’m one of Jeremy’s sisters and have had a front-row seat to his entire life. There were questionable fashion choices along the way (mostly ones we forced on him) and one girlfriend we weren’t so sure about at first (I think her name was something London). Anyways, it’s great to see how well he turned out. I couldn’t be happier to celebrate him and Maddie!
Brandon Teribery
Groomsman
Hi I’m Brandon, Jeremy’s favorite brother-in-law. I’ll always remember the first time I met Beaners about 9 years ago… I was at the Krise’s house and he asked me if I wanted to come upstairs and see his bedroom (Penn State themed so of course I liked it). He’s the little brother I never had growing up. We share a mutual frustration with golf but have enjoyed many good rounds together. Looking forward to celebrating the big day with him and Maddie!
Chelsea DeSalve
Bridesmaid
I have known the lovely bride for over 20 years, and our friendship has been filled with unforgettable memories and a shared love for Jesus that continues to grow. I love fitness, coffee, sunshine, being outdoors, traveling, and eating carbs. You can usually find me dancing, laughing, and soaking up life with the people I love. 💛
Ryan Baker
Groomsman
Hello my name is Ryan and I’m very grateful to be a groomsman in Jeremy and Maddie’s wedding. I’ve been a friend of Jeremy’s since we were kids and have enjoyed watching the relationship between them grow throughout the years! Some of my hobbies include mountain biking, fly fishing, and hunting. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on their big day and wish the bride and groom the best in the future they get to spend together!

I have been a friend of the bride since middle school. I am a nurse. I love spending time in nature, whether I’m kayaking, camping, or hiking. I love my cats, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. My favorite food is Mexican.
Colin Pfingstler
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Colin. Heading into my sophomore year of college, I met my future roommate and one of my best friends in the lobby of a Sheetz, when Jacob introduced us right before we committed to living together. Instead of just living for one year together, it turned into two years of becoming close friends instead of just "roommates". We were both studying mechanical engineering at Penn State, and since then I’ve moved away from home for work, living in North Carolina and Chicago. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, spending time with family, and shooting sporting clays.
Andrea Bankovich
Bridesmaid
The beautiful bride has been a trusted friend of mine since childhood. Our friendship has grown through every phase of life, and I can’t wait to be by her side for this next one as she becomes a wife! I enjoy trying new things, exploring the city of Pittsburgh, spending time with family, and letting loose with my girlfriends on the dance floor <3
Dylan Ishman
Groomsman
I met Jeremy during our time at Penn State and we bonded over our passion for the outdoors. We would hang out almost every night and shared so many fun memories together. I live in Durango Colorado and spend my free time hunting, fishing, and snowboarding.
Nicole DeRose
Bridesmaid
I’ve been a friend of the bride since college. We met playing on the softball team together and have had a friendship that is nothing short of laughs and fun memories! I love being around my friends and family, being outside, binge watching the same 3 shows, and traveling, especially to new places!
Gunnar Smith
Groomsman
As a little cousin of the bride, I’ve known Maddie my whole life and I instantly became close with Jeremy since they started dating. I first met Jeremy at one of his high school baseball games where I got to announce his name when he was up to bat. Jeremy has played a big role in being one of my mentors for the game of golf. Some of the best moments I’ve spent with Jeremy is playing golf with him and the Smith family at the BSI. A little more about me is that I’m a freshman at Fairview High School and I play baseball and basketball.
