Kimberly & Nathan
Wedding Party
Kimberly Schmolze
Bride
I am a 1st grade teacher. This is my 15th year of teaching. I love spending time with my family and friends, going to church, singing in the praise band, cooking, visiting breweries and vineyards, going to the beach, and just being outside in general. I am so excited to marry Nathan and continue our lives together with his children.
Nathan Dillehay
Groom
Nathan is a veteran of the Army. He is now a mechanical engineer, and he works for Defense Engineering Services. He enjoys grilling/cooking, hiking, biking and camping. He really enjoys trips to wineries with Kimberly. He loves every moment he gets to spend with AnneMarie and Parker.
AnneMarie Dillehay
Bridesmaid
We aren't really having bridesmaids or groomsmen, but Nathan's daughter AnneMarie will be standing up there with us! AnneMarie is 11 and is in the 6th grade. She loves talking to her friends on the phone, going to the beach, and being a sassy preteen!
Parker Dillehay
Groomsman
We aren't really having bridesmaids or groomsmen, but Nathan's son Parker will be standing up there with us! Parker is 9 and is in the 4th grade. He loves using his imagination to play with his stuffed animal puppies, playing Roblox, and watching YouTube gamers on T.V.
Diane Schmolze
Mother of the Bride
My mom is one of my best friends! She is a retired preschool teacher. We love doing a lot of the same activities together: drinking wine, shopping, going to breweries, going to the beach, and hanging out with family! She is a fun person to be around!
Bob Schmolze
Father of the Bride
My dad is the man of dad jokes. He is a retired computer programmer and a landlord. He loves being with family, buying fun gadgets from Amazon, taking naps, going to the gym, and going out to dinner.
Daniel Dillehay
Father of the Groom
My dad is the most caring person I have ever known! He is a Navy Veteran and has been a technician for over 30 years. He enjoys spending quality time with Lynne, drinking margaritas, and going on camping trips together. He also loves long walks on the beach and Tik-Tok dancing! ;)
Lynne Dillehay
Mother of the Groom
Lynne is my stepmother, but as far as I'm concerned she is my mother. She definitely became my rock whenever she and dad married. She is retired from CPW, but returned after her and dad adopted my nephews. Like dad, she would give the shirt off her back for anyone. She loves to go camping and is a great person to sit and talk to for hours.
Reese Cypress
Flower Girl
Reese is our good friends Jess and CJ's daughter. She loves goldfish and being with her family. She is already walking, doing some talking, and is such a precious girl! We can't wait to have her be a part of our special day.
Jess & CJ Cypress
The Cypress Backyard Owners/Best Friends!
Jess and I have been friends since we were 2 years old! Our parents actually met at birthing class, so we basically knew each other before age 2. Jess is one of my best friends. She is a school librarian in Columbia, SC. She loves being with her family and friends, cheering on the Clemson Tigers, teaching classes at the gym, going to the beach, and drinking different kinds of wine/craft beer! CJ is Jess' husband. I have known him since they first started dating. CJ works for a beer distributing company. He is a great guy to be around! CJ loves being with friends and family, rooting for the Georgia Bulldogs, grilling in the backyard, and drinking good beer! We are so grateful they are letting us use their backyard for our ceremony/reception!
Erin Yaden

Erin and I have been friends since freshman year of college at College of Charleston when we met in the Teaching Fellows program that we got accepted into! Erin is one of my best friends. She is a kindergarten teacher in the same district I teach for. She loves being with her family and friends, singing in the praise band at church, going to the beach, hiking, and camping. I'm so grateful that she will be singing at our ceremony!

Kristen and I have been friends since 7th grade! She is one of my best friends. She is a high school Spanish teacher for SC Connections Academy.
