Wedding Party

Amy Richard
Amy Richard - Maid of Honor
Who knew randomly having a semester of all the same classes almost 7 years ago would turn into a lifelong friendship! Kalley and I have done it all from amazing trips to grueling finals and all the adventures in between. I couldn’t be more thankful to have another “sister” in Kalley and share all the memories we’ve made. I supposed those include the first tailgate where I met Noah, and I knew you both had something special. I can’t wait to make one of the best memories standing by her as her Maid of Honor on this special day! Here’s to the soon to be Thompsons!

I’m Noah’s younger brother and Best Man. I’m so excited to see him and Kalley tie the knot! It’s easy to see the love these two have for each other. Whether it’s going to concerts together, grabbing coffee, or exploring the Black Hills in SD, we always have an awesome time with Noah and Kalley. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them and their memories that are yet to be made! Love you guys! Cheers!

Kalley and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. Our friendship began in gymnastics when we were just kids, and it gradually grew stronger over the years. I have fond memories of going on family vacations with Kalley and countless weekends at the lake. Although our college years took us on different paths, Kalley remained one of my best friends. Kalley is an incredible friend, always genuine and caring. Her ability to maintain strong connections with people is truly remarkable, and I have always admired her for it. We have been through every season of life together, supporting each other through the highs and lows. I am so excited to be by her side as she begins this new chapter of her life with Noah. Cheers to a lifetime of love to Kalley and Noah.

Noah is my built in best friend. For all my 17 years of living, I have got to enjoy memories alongside Noah. I am Noah’s youngest brother in a group of four siblings. I am going to be a senior in high school at the school Noah used to run with many of the members on this grooms party! I’m 17 years old at the time of writing this but I’ll be 18 by the time we need to celebrate. I am super excited to party all night with the best dude I know!

I met Kalley during our junior year of college as we were preparing for our semester of studying and living abroad together in Barcelona! However, it feels as though I have known her forever. Little did I know I had met one of my best friends and someone who I would come to share many so many memorable experiences with. In the past 6 years, Kalley has been there for me through thick and thin. We continue to grow our love for traveling together as we continue to take trips and our love for food as we continue to explore new restaurants. I could not be more excited for you and Noah’s love, a love that I know will continue to flourish with time. Even though I met him for the first time in a pirate costume at a Halloween party, I knew he was the one for you. I am blessed beyond words to share in this special day with you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness. I love you!

My friendship with Noah traces back to the carefree days of park and rec soccer, where orange slices and goal-scoring were the order of the day. Ironically, during those soccer days, I didn't particularly care for Noah. Life, however, unfolded in a way that led our paths to cross several times, yet my opinion of him remained unchanged. It wasn't until 8th grade that the dynamics shifted, and our friendship began to flourish, particularly Freshman year in Mark Budahl's math class. The memories we crafted in those years I will never forget, some of those I will share with our kids some day and the rest will be never be shared. As we grew older and went to college we remained close and even lived with each other one summer. As I reflect on our journey, it's with a sense of amazement that Noah, whom I never thought would settle down, has not only proven me wrong but found an ideal match in Kalley. Kalley, I raise my glass to you… Noah will soon be your problem! Congrats, and can’t wait to be part of your big day.

Kalley and I met junior year of college when we studied abroad together in Barcelona. She, Maren, and I were roommates for the semester. Little did we know, with lots of laughs, late nights, travel adventures around Europe, and a couple stolen phones, we’d go from strangers to the best of friends in those few months. We remained close since then, graduating college, and taking several more trips together through the last few years. I’m so thankful for all of our memories and travel adventures. It’s been so fun to watch Kalley and Noah’s love story unfold - from seeing them together the first time at Cuzzy’s to now. I’m honored to be a part of their special day as they start their greatest adventure yet! Cheers to The Thompsons!

Friend, classmate, colleague, neighbor, co-conspirator, trip mate — just a few words to describe how Noah has been a part of my life over the years. We have known each other since elementary school and were neighbors throughout high school. Although we attended separate colleges, we remained close and even traveled overseas together to visit our Norwegian comrade. These times together have given us memories that will last a lifetime. I’ve been lucky enough to have Noah as a friend for the majority of my life and I can definitely say Kalley is getting a good man in Noah. So excited to celebrate their day and wishing them both a lifetime of happiness together! Cheers to the Thompsons!

Although Kalley and I grew up just a few miles away from each other in St. Cloud, we didn’t truly “meet” until we had accounting class together in college. We became very close as we spent every day together in class our senior year of college and spent time together outside of class as well. Since then, we’ve just gotten closer as friends through our walks around Minneapolis lakes and a couple of trips together! As soon as I met Noah, I knew him and Kalley had something special. I’m so happy to be a part of your special day and your lives going forward!

Coming all the way from across the globe in 2013 to meet one of my very best friends. I met Noah for the first time in 2013, from being afraid to come pick the foreigner up at his house to visiting me in Norway and travelling all over Europe together. Although we live on two different parts of the world we see each other almost every year, either it is in the US or in Europe. I am super excited for Noah and Kalley to get married, love you guys!

I am Noah’s only and obviously favorite sister. Growing up with only brothers was more challenging, but Noah was always there for me. We most definitely both gave mom and dad a few extra grey hairs ;) Meeting Kalley and getting to know her, made me realize how well they complement one another. They are always laughing together and are so fun to be around. I can’t wait to watch their love story unfold. I am beyond excited to gain a sister. Congrats and cheers to forever, Noah and Kalley. Love you both!

Being that I am Kalley’s only sibling, this wedding is just as much about me as it is about her. Jokes, in all seriousness I’m really happy for the two of them. Kalley dodged some bullets along the way but I’m glad Noah found her before she got desperate. One of the things I look forward to most is family gatherings when me and Noah are drinking beer, talking sports, and enjoying the food Kalley’s spent days preparing for us. These two are honestly perfect for each other and Noah’s checked every box. The day I figured out Noah might be the one for Kalley is the same day I figured out how passionate he was about being a Broncos fan. The day I knew he was the one was when I realized he had willingly become just as passionate about Gopher sports. If he expresses that type of loyalty and care for a couple of the most disappointing sporting organizations in the United States then sticking it out with someone like Kalley who never disappoints and always exceeds expectations will be easy.

Kalley and I met in college, but got really close when we decided to room together for two years after college. We spent time going to concerts, grabbing cocktails, and traveling to Nashville and Florida together. I remember when Kalley and Noah reconnected after their internship, and the rest really is history! After that it was like Noah became a third roommate :) It was clear from the moment they met that they would be in each other’s lives forever. It has been so fun spending time with them and watching their relationship grow, and I am beyond exciting to be a part of their big day! See you on the dance floor!!!

I met Kalley during our time at the University of Minnesota and our friendship has continued to grow ever since. Whether it’s a Gopher football gameday, a dinner out in Minneapolis, a cookie baking night, or a FaceTime call to catch up, I am always reminded of how lucky I am for my friendship with Kalley. Kalley is all things genuine, kind, and caring – she’s the kind of friend that a person could only ever hope to have. And it’s so amazing that she found someone just as great as her, Noah! The two of them really are the perfect pair. It’s an honor of mine to be a part of Kalley and Noah’s beautiful wedding day in Saint Paul and I can’t wait for what’s to come. Congratulations to the Thompsons!

Kalley and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. We started doing gymnastics together at North Crest when we were itty bitty. Our families soon became very close and we went to Mexico together and went on a cruise (the best vacation ever!) Kalley and I would go to week long gymnastics camps to Hamline University and we were inseparable! I ended up transferring to the UMN after my first year of college and we continued to make so many fun memories while in Minneapolis. We have continued to stay very close and continue to make memories together! It’s been so fun to get to know Noah and I cannot wait to watch their relationship grow in this new chapter of life!

Kalley and I met at the young age of 4 where we found our first love, gymnastics. We competed on the same team together for the next 12 years and have been best of friends ever since. From being birthday buddies (April 12th and 13th) to eventually competing against each other we have made so many memories over the years. Meeting Noah a few years ago, I knew he’d be the one for her. I am so excited to watch their future grow together! :)

Noah and I met in college through Beta, and majored in accounting together. This led to us having a ton of classes together. We then lived together for a year during grad school. Since I moved to Minneapolis, Noah and I have gotten to spend more time together. Noah’s also the biggest Mahomes hater I know. Can’t wait to spend more time with him and Kalley.

Noah and I have known each other for as long as I can remember. Growing up over the years in Mitchell we did numerous activities together outside of being the best of friends. From golf, baseball and basketball, to leading the student section at the football and volleyball games, we were together virtually all the time. When it came time to go off to college, we decided to pursue degrees from the same University down in Vermillion at USD. There, we joined a fraternity together that we both had family ties to and even lived together in the house. It wasn't until we went our separate ways out into the world after college that Noah started seeing this little blonde girl from St. Cloud. When myself and the rest of our group of friends finally did get to meet Kalley, we immediately saw what a perfect match the two were for one another. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the future Mr. and Mrs. Thompson!

Noah and I met at USD through Beta and immediately spent a ton of time together both inside and outside of the classroom. Noah became one of my best friends right away during our first semester of college and we have remained close friends ever since. Whether its drinking a pitcher at the Pub in Vermillion, or a weekend in Minneapolis, Noah is always the one willing to get the group going and make everybody laugh. Kalley immediately fit right in with our group and its been great getting to know her over the past two years! Congrats to the Thompson's and let the countdown to June 21st begin!
