The Evans/Dahlin Wedding
Wedding Party
Wesley Webb
Best Man
Zach and his dad Mitch met Wesley and Lloyd (Wes's dad) on a baseball field when Wes was randomly assigned to the Braves which Mitch coached. From then on Wesley became more like a brother than a best friend; he was on every baseball team, attended family holidays, wore sequin green shorts at sleepovers, and is always at every major event in Zach's life. Fun Fact: Wes is unfortunately obsessed with WWE and his son Andrew is our ring bearer.
Meghan Dahlin
Maid of Honor
Meghan is Kelsey's older sister and her first and longest best friend. Meghan and Kelsey spent time as children playing with their American Girl dolls (Because we know you are curious: Meghan - Samantha and Kelsey - Molly) and now, spend almost every conversation talking about their mutual love for helping children and their obsession with their nieces, Sadie and Bethany. Meghan and Kelsey could not be more different and yet, they are the best of friends and talk daily. Fun fact: One of Meghan's favorite past times is attempting to get Kelsey to wear very bright, expressive, out of her box pieces of clothing; additionally, not many people can make Kelsey laugh harder than Meghan does.
DJ Demaio
Groomsman
DJ and Zach met in high school through a mutual friend and Zach became incredibly close with DJ's family. While some may say they were an unlikely pairing, Zach describes DJ as one of the most loyal people he has ever met and always the life of the party. Fun Fact: DJ's son is nicknamed Chalupa by the guys in the group. One time, DJ jumped into the Sacramento River off of a $100 bet from Kolman. We will let you ask one of the guys for the details on this story.
Taylor Dahlin
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Kelsey's sister-in-law, as she married her little brother Jordan in 2018. Taylor has a fierce love for horses and for all things graphic design (FYI: Taylor designed all of the wedding invitations, as well as the printed signs you will see on the tables around the wedding). Taylor is mama to Sadie and Bethany and fits right into the Dahlin family with her love for humor and sarcasm. Fun fact: Taylor had a horse as a child and hopes to own a horse again one day. Taylor currently volunteers with an organization that provides free equine therapy to children in need.
Justin Emmons
Groomsman
Justin and Zach met in high school around the same time he met DJ and Kol because DJ, Kol, and Justin were also friends. Zach and Justin bonded over their love of a good pick-up basketball game, a good drink and a delicious plate of food. Zach has tried to convince Justin to move to the Sacramento area for years and hasn't yet been successful. Fun Fact: Justin will crush anyone in fantasy basketball and basketball trivia.
Samantha Evans
Bridesmaid
Sam is the middle child of the Evans sibling trio and their relationship is filled with lots of sarcasm. Zach and Sam both absolutely adore sports and annoy the family when all they do is takeover the tv for baseball and football season. Sam also plays in Zach's fantasy football league with many of the groomsmen and on some occasions beats all of them. Fun Fact: Sam almost cut off Zach's finger with scissors when Zach was trying to do his kindergarten project one morning. She was only trying to help.
Kolman Feichtmeir
Groomsman
Kol is another one of the guys Zach met around the time of high school. Zach would describe Kol as someone you could always rely on to be there for you when you need help or even just a listening ear. Many happy memories have been made at Lindsey and Kolman's house during their holiday and costume parties. Zach and Kol share a love of cooking and enjoying delicious food; a bonding moment for them is eating at a new restaurant together and finding new foods to share with Kelsey and Lindsey. Fun Fact: Kol and Lindsey have more dogs than Zach and Kelsey.
Kaylyn Evans
Bridesmaid
Kaylyn is Zach's youngest sister and the one who will brighten any room she is in. She is the spontaneous one of the sibling trio and has some good adventure stories to share for it. Zach and Kay share a love of cooking, their dogs, and roasting Sam. Fun Fact: While Kaylyn may seem to be more quiet, she loves to sing, dance and specifically, initiate a good dance or duet with some of the dogs in her world. Her nickname as a child was 'cricket'; we will let you ask her for the story on that one.
Cody Miller
Groomsman
Zach has known Cody since birth because their moms have been lifelong best friends. Throughout the years there have been flag football games, fishing by the creek, and many cioppino nights shared between the two. Fun Fact: Cody is welcoming his first child this fall and was nicknamed Teflon on the flag football team.
Melanie Weaver
Bridesmaid
Melanie and Kelsey met their first day at Azusa Pacific University in 2009 and have remained best friends ever since. Melanie has a fierce love for marine animals, Taylor Swift and the Los Angeles Dodgers (we forgive her for this and love her all the same). Kelsey was Melanie's maid-of-honor in 2022, have done some fun traveling together and have experiences together that could provide stories and laughs for hours. Fun fact: When Kelsey first met Melanie, she used to bedazzle everything, including her hairbrush, stapler, back of her laptop, etc. Melanie still loves some good sparkle to this day.
Jordan Dahlin
Groomsman
Jordan is Kelsey's little brother and always good for a laugh or a sarcastic comment. When Jordan was younger, he loved to tease Meghan and Kelsey. Wait, he still loves to do this today. Jordan is married to Taylor, one of the bridesmaids, and they are parents to the adorable flower girls, Sadie and Bethany, who are sure to steal the show. Fun fact: Jordan is a talented musician; you can often find him leading worship for his church and can find his music on Instagram at @endless_days_music.
Samantha Xepoleas
Bridesmaid
Samantha is Kelsey's best friend from high school. Throughout their friendship, Kelsey and Sam have spent many hours at her house, drinking peppermint tea, eating Peanut M&Ms and chatting into the early hours of the morning. Sam and Kelsey have not lived near one another in well over a decade, however their friendship has remained close. They share a mutual love for coffee and all things related to the beach. Fun fact: Sam's little brother Scott and Zach played baseball together in high school. This means that Kelsey was at some of Zach's games, about a decade before they knew one another.
Andrew Webb
Ring Bearer
Andrew is Wesley's son and a huge fan of his Uncle Zach. Andrew loves all things Spiderman and enjoys taking his dad's headphones to talk to Zach while Wes and Zach are gaming together. Andrew enjoys adventures with his Ama and, as a result, has flown first class more than the majority of us combined. Andrew also loves to dance so look for him dancing the night away at our wedding!
Sadie and Bethany Dahlin
Flower Girls
Sadie and Bethany are Kelsey's nieces and adore their "Unca Zach." They are both sassy little humans, much to their aunty's delight. Sadie loves a good trip to Target and is convinced that her daddy works there; Bethany loves everything her sister does and is also quick to tell her no when she doesn't want to do something. They both love to dance, so look for them on the dance floor!
