Jordan Lee Pener and Richard Joseph Carroll were married at half past four in the afternoon on Nov. 8, 2019, at Eighteen Ninety Wedding Venue in Platte City, Missouri.
Parents of the bride are Gary and Victoria Pener of Kansas City. Parents of the groom are Maureen Ann Percy Carroll of Lenexa and Michael F. Carroll of Lake Quivera. The bride is the granddaughter of the late Janet and Donald Stark, Louis and Bertha Pener and John and Betty Zoeller. The groom is the grandson of Jeanne Ann Masterson Percy of Iola and the late William Glenn Curly Percy and of Mike and Mary Jo OBryan Carroll Van Walleghem and the late Joseph Carroll. The grandmothers of the groom were honored guests at the wedding. The couples parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were honored on a picture board featuring their wedding pictures. The picture board also held pictures of the grooms late uncle Tom Carroll and of the brides late aunt Glendora G.G. Peterson.
The outdoor ceremony took place under an open wooden wedding arbor decorated with sky-blue chiffon gathered to bouquets of hydrangea and greenery. The minister officiating at the ceremony was Timmy Gibson. The groom was walked to the front of the altar by his mother, followed by the mothers of the couple lighting the altar candles.
The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an ivory princess-style ball gown. The ruched bodice featured a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps that formed to a V in the back. The bottom of the fitted bodice was covered in lace. The gown had a natural waistline which was accented with a narrow rhinestone belt and the full skirt was worn over crinolines and featured layers of tiered organza that flowed into a chapel-length train. During the outdoor ceremony, the bride wore a matching ivory fur–edged capelet. She carried a cascading bouquet of burgundy, wine, and ivory roses with babys breath, blue hydrangea and greenery. Her fingertip veil of imported ivory illusion fell from a rhinestone hairpiece in the back and she wore a jeweled cuff bracelet with matching earrings.
The bridal attendants wore flowing sky-blue gowns of organza with spaghetti straps and capelet flutter sleeves. They also wore silver shawls for the outside ceremony and they carried clutch bouquets with the same flowers as the brides bouquet. Kelly Murakami was the maid-of-honor. Bridesmaids were Patrice Brennan, Mary Cathryn Lusby, Holly Sherman, Jane Beyer, Jordan Herr, Natalie Fedder, Mary Eibes, Meggie Maureen Carroll, and Molly Kathleen Carroll (sisters of the groom).
The groom was attended by his (soon-to-be) brother-in-law Colby Dye as best man. Groomsmen were Jared Witter, Blake Lawrence, Mike Garza, Clay Coffman, Logan Coffman, Chase Coffman (step-brothers of the groom), Brett Pener, Kyle Pener, and Alex Pener (brothers of the bride). Ushers for the wedding were David Leonard and Matthew Crow.
The cocktail hour followed the ceremony and the reception, buffet dinner, and wedding dance were held inside the chandelier-lit venue. The couple danced their first dance to the song At Last.
After cutting the multi-tiered wedding cake, the couple was surprised by one of the highlights of their wedding reception: a personalized video was shown with best wishes for the couple on their marriage from several Kansas City Chiefs football and Royals baseball stars including Patrick Mahomes, Eric Hosmer, Whit Merrifield and others.
The couple is at home in Lenexa following their honeymoon in Orlando, Fla..
