Micaelyn & Kenneth
Wedding Party
Kimberly Richmeier
Mother of the Bride
Kim works as a Receiving Manager at BevMo and can answer almost any wine-related question you may have. A certified sommelier, she enjoys pouring wine at her favorite vineyard, Wente, and when she's not working you can probably find her at home cooking up something delicious!
Gretel Meys Compton
Mother of the Groom
Gretel is a woman of many talents. For over 30 years she was the manager of a printer shop, and is now focused on growing the wine brand she started along with her partner Bruce. When she's not busy graphic designing and printing at her studio, she's hard at work growing and harvesting the grapes that make Clos des Amis so wonderful!
Ronald Richmeier
Father of the Bride
Always the leader of the pack and infamous for his infectious laugh, Ron is a sales manager working in South San Francisco. When he's not at the office or making his long commute to and from the city, you can find him torturing the local high school lacrosse team as their unforgiving coach.
Jim Compton
Father of the Groom
A Vietnam Vet and former Assistant Superintendent of County Schools in Ventura, Jim is enjoying the fruits of his labor in much-deserved retirement. Unable to be completely idle, Jim has owned a catering/BBQ business with his best friend Jim Stock, travels the world fishing and camping, and currently volunteers as the president of his community board. He hates long walks on the beach bust ask him about John Wayne.
Alexa Richmeier
Maid of Honor
A nursing student at Portland University, this Maid of Honor has her work cut out for her! When she's not studying, doing homework, participating in clinicals, or sleeping, you'll probably find her playing with her hamster, Jasper.
Dugan Compton
Best Man
A master bartender, Dugan can whip up pretty much any drink you could imagine and then some. Dugan has lived in the Ventura area nearly his entire life, and knows his turf like the back of his hand. A night on the town with Dugan is a night you won’t forget (but might accidentally). When he's not working back-to-back shifts, he enjoys watching historical documentaries, reading, and spending time with his cat.
Kelly Irons
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Micaelyn initially met as coworkers at the Sonoma State University Writing Center, where they worked together as tutors. As fellow English majors, they eventually ended up in other classes together and quickly became close friends. Kelly works as a nurse's assistant at Sonoma West Medical Center in Sebastopol, and will be returning from a 3-month cross-country road trip in June (conversation starter, hint hint)!
Matthew Hargadon
Groomsman
Kenny and Matt met via Kenny’s freshman year roommate Connor, and though Connor didn’t stay at SSU, Matt and Kenny stayed close. They have since have had their fair share of reckless adventures and late nights together. A close friend and former neighbor of Micaelyn’s as well, this party simply would not be complete without him. Matt currently works as an analyst for an engineering firm in Santa Rosa.
Malin Cantu
Bridesmaid
Malin and Micaelyn met through their sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, as Big & Little. Both little people with big attitudes, they were a perfect pair! Currently working as an office manager for a law firm, Malin has her eye set on the East Coast where she hopes to attend school for comedy and performance.
Dante Escrofani
Groomsman
Friends since elementary school, Dante is Kenny's oldest friend. Through the years, they’ve shared their passions and interests over many weekend sleepovers, filled with long bike rides and trudging through dirty barrancas. Dante has since graduated from college in San Diego, where he studied engineering in conjunction with his never ending love affair of all things musical.
Ara Klingborg
Flower Girl
Sweet, smart, and sassy, and at just three years old, this curly-headed cutie has already stolen her Uncle Kenny's heart, and we know she'll steal yours, too! Ara will be walking down the aisle with Bandi by her side, so keep an eye out for the cutest couple!
Bandi Richmeier
Ring Bearer
Micaelyn’s fluffy little shadow, this precious pooch will be parading down the aisle with the most important job in the house — getting all the cuddles from all the people! And getting the rings to the altar, of course.
