Kim & Dylan
Wedding Party
Kristin Obana
Matron of Honor
Kristin is Kim's older sister. Kim stood by her sister's side during her wedding and now Kristin will do the same for her little sister. Kristin will be traveling all the way from Hawaii for Kim's special day and Kim couldn't be more thrilled to have her sister and family there for her big day!
Taryn Levin
Bridesmaid
Taryn and Kim have known each other since they were 6 years old. They have grown up with each other, been part of all major life events like going to prom, going to college, Taryn getting married, Taryn having 2 adorable kiddos, and now Kim getting married!
Courtney Pohlman
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Kim have been friends since they were 6 years old. Growing up together they have been there for each other through life's greatest moments. They were roommates (twice) in Chicago and went on trips to Italy, Greece, Vegas, and New York. Courtney was the person who tried to get Dylan and Kim together back in January 2020.....and she clearly did a great job!
Sarah Teuber
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Kim became friends in kindergarten in Ms. Blackman's class. Through the years they have shared such great memories like family vacations in Wisconsin, high school football games where Kim was a cheerleader and Sarah was in poms, adventuring out into the Chicago social scene, and trips to Vegas and New York. They have been there for each other for all of life's moments!
Stephanie Fisher
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Kim became friends at our friend's bachelorette party at the Kentucky Derby in 2017. Stephanie had gotten lost, and Kim found her in the sea of people (on a street corner with random people grilling out). Since then they have gone to several cubs games, dog parks, gone on trips to Switzerland, Florida, Nashville, and danced the night away at our local watering hole.
Jessica Gress
Bridesmaid
Jessi is Dylan's older sister and met Kim when Dylan surprised his family with a visit home to Charleston in October 2020. On every family trip, Kim and Jessi have enjoyed grabbing drinks, going shopping, and getting their nails done. Jessi even helped Dylan pick the exact spot where he planned to propose to Kim in July 2022. on the Chicago Riverwalk.
Levi Driesen
Best Man
Levi and Dylan became friends when Dylan moved to Chicago for a job with the Cubs. Kim always jokes and says "If Dylan were to ever leave me, it would be for Levi". They are inseparable and have a bond like brothers. Dylan was thrilled when Levi agreed to be his best man, as he has seen Dylan and Kim's relationship grow from day one.
Kyle Mroz
Groomsman
Dylan and Kyle became friends from working on the grounds crew with the Chicago Cubs. They bond over hating the cold (even though Kyle grew up in Michigan), playing Golden Tee at Murphy's Bleachers, and shopping for flannels at their favorite store, Meijer. Dylan was able to stand next to Kyle when he got married in January 2022 and now Kyle will be standing by him.
Frank Patzke
Groomsman
Frank and Dylan work together on the grounds crew for the Chicago Cubs. When Kim and Dylan first met, Frank, saw Dylan looking over at Kim and noticed he was nervous. Frank goes "Dude, why don't you just go talk to her?!"... and he did. Frank has witnessed Kim and Dylan's relationship from the beginning and Dylan is so happy to have him by his side during the wedding.
Brandon Zaayer
Groomsman
Brandon is Dylan's cousin (although they could pass for twins). Dylan has always looked up to Brandon as they share many of the same values and goals in life. Dylan's family has always said they share a bond like no one else. They enjoy bonfires, card games, drinking beer in the garage, and all things outdoors. Dylan is honored to have his cousin stand by his side on his big day!
Dan Kiermaier
Groomsman
Dan is Dylan's boss at the Cubs, although he's definitely more of a best friend than a boss. Dan and Dylan have enjoyed life's moments of watching concerts at Wrigley (from the scoreboard), get-togethers at 3636 (prior to Dan's adorable two kiddos) and grabbing beers at Murphy's Bleachers. Dan will be standing by Dylan's side as he marries Kim, even if the Cubs make it to the World Series this year...
John Harris
Groomsman
John was Dylan's roommate when he first moved to Chicago in April 2019. John took Dylan out to a boozy brunch outing when Dylan landed and forgot to answer his phone later that day to tell Dylan where the apartment was at. Although Dylan got lost and couldn't find his own home the first day in Chicago, John and Dylan laugh over the instance now. John and Dylan have bonded over woodworking, outdoor activities, and country music and is honored to have John by his side on his wedding day.
Noelani, Nohea, Lehua Obana
Flower Girl
Noelani, Nohea, and Lehua are Kim's nieces. They will be traveling from Hawaii to be a huge part of Kim and Dylan's big day as their flower girls. Kim and her nieces love hula dancing together, watching Moana, and taking funny pictures with snap chat filters. Kim's nieces hold such a special place in her heart and cannot wait to share this special day with them.
Zach Widlowski
Officiant
Zach is Dylan and Kim's good friend and is one of the reasons they are together. When Kim was out for a brunch in Chicago, Zach started talking to one of Kim's friends Stephanie. The two groups hung out for the rest of the day and continued hanging out there on after. Without Zach, who knows if Kim and Dylan would have ever met? Zach has seen Kim and Dylan's relationship from the very beginning and it only seemed fitting he would officiate their wedding.
