Dawn is so excited to be the "MOB" and has been bragging about her title since the couple got engaged.
Michael Kuzara
Father of the Groom
Mike is the Father of the Groom, and his personality has definitely found a home in his son. Always looking to lighten the mood and have a good time, Mike always can put a smile on your face. Mike has been a big role model in Chris's life and he hopes to someday be as good as a father as he knows his dad is.
Ann Kuzara
Mother of the Groom
Ann is the Mother of the Groom. She is a great mother and the Bride is excited to gain her as a second mother! She has always been there for Chris and he is grateful to have her in his life.

It is such an honor that she is coming out of "wedding retirement" to officiate our wedding!
