Kristen & Jim
Wedding Party
Kara Frick
Matron of Honor
My sister, best friend, and of course, matron of honor! We've shared so many clothes over the years (we never had to buy prom dresses for me since I just wore Kara's...) that we even discussed me wearing her wedding gown. So excited for you to be right by my side, big sis! I love and look up to you always.
Bobby Waclawik
Best Man
My brother and my best man, Bobby has known me the longest and while we don't always agree, I've got nothing but love for him. He's the perfect choice to stand by my side as my best man because he knows me as well as anyone, and I can always count on him. I'm happy he's no longer chasing me with a hockey stick, and glad that we can talk about everything from books and TV shows, to cooking. I'm proud of the man you've become, and honored to call you my brother and best man.
Cat Barnhill
Bridesmaid
My very first best friend! We've never gone to school together, but always made sure to spend so many consecutive nights with each other that our parents forced us to spend at least one night apart. We may no longer be playing Bitty Baby, driving Barbie jeeps, and exploring the neighborhood woods, but I'm so excited to have her by my side!
Patrick Condon
Groomsman
Pat has been one of my best friends since our freshman year at Notre Dame when we were stationed down the hall from one another. Although we only lived together for one year, we played volleyball together for 4 and worked together for over 3 years after school. While he's no longer responsible for giving me my paychecks, he's accepted a role in the wedding party and I couldn't picture it without him.
Rose Bell
Bridesmaid
My best friend since Kinder, we've withstood several Klug moves, going to different high schools and colleges, I stood by her side as she said "I do", and she made me a Tia for the first time to her beautiful baby girl! After all this time, the countless laughs, and the memories, I'm thrilled she'll now be by my side when I say "I do"!
Karl Frick
Groomsman
I've been a big fan of Karl since the day I met him. He's always been great to me, and is very easy to talk to. He is also selfless, picking up the phone on his vacation to calm my nerves on the day I proposed. That's who Karl is, and I'm thrilled to have him stand up at our wedding.
Amy Flynn
Bridesmaid
My incredible soon-to-be sister-in-law who I can always count on to introduce me to fun new things like Schofferhofer, flavored sake, and Harry Potter board games. I am so thrilled to have you next to me as I say "I do" to your little brother!
Chris Jacques
Groomsman
Jacques and I lived across the hall from one another freshman year and lived together sophomore year. He has always been a good and loyal friend, as well as a damn good golf coach (despite my horrendous progress as a player). Always can count on him for a good time, proud to have you stand up there with me when I marry Kristen!
Mallory Klug
Bridesmaid
My sister-in-law who's basically my sister since I've known her more than half of my life. Always telling hilarious stories and nursing me back to health, I'm so glad you'll be right next to me to me in case of an excitement inducing freak out...and then laugh at me for it :)
Patrick Johnson
Groomsman
Another of my friends from Notre Dame and Stanford Hall, I got to know Pat better after he came back with all of my other friends from study abroad in Australia. Since then, and now that he has lived in Chicago for a few years, Pat has become one of my closest friends. I know he is someone I can always count on, and am honored to have him stand with me on my wedding day.
Camille Sharrow-Blaum
Bridesmaid
My best friend from Notre Dame, fittingly brought together in the Eternal City in the spring of 2012. She's seen me through everything since then and if making it through cohabiting with 9 other girls and just 2.5 baths, one washing machine and no dryer doesn't say "until the end," I don't know what does.
Jonathan Klug
Groomsman
Kristen's older brother has been welcoming and inviting to me from the start. I've always felt like part of the family and Jonathan has treated me like a brother. I can talk to him about anything, and I cannot imagine marrying Kristen without him standing there next to me.
Kelly Waclawik
Bridesmaid
My hilarious soon-to-be sister-in-law who always makes sure there's plenty of cheese and meat varieties for the charcuterie board, wine for our bellies, and Survivor for the soul! It'll be such fun to have you by my side as I say "I do" to your little brother!
Christian Sharrow-Blaum
Groomsman
As the now husband to Kristen's roommate when our relationship got underway, Christian has been there from the start. As the years have passed, I have grown to consider Christian as one of my closest friends, and I could not fathom celebrating this day without him standing up there next to me.
Molly Flynn
Flower Girl
My soon-to-be niece, Amy's adorable and bright little girl. There's no one more perfect for the part to twirl in her beautiful dress and sparkly shoes!
Ronan Flynn
Ring Bearer
This handsome stud agreed to carry our rings with the bribe of a very large yellow lollipop. As his Godfather, I am proud that he drove such a hard bargain. His shrewd negotiation skills will be vital to the success of the entire wedding party!
Matt Robison
Usher
Rhobes was my roommate in college for 3 years and has remained one of my best friends ever since. I am thrilled that he will be part of our big day!
Drew Williams
Usher
Drew is a good boy, we've gotten to know each other well since graduation and he is a guy you can always count on. Drew is a great friend and I'm thrilled that he will be part of my wedding.
Paul Babiak
Usher
Paul had been a great friend since freshman year. Whether we were playing Super Smash or sharing a drink at McSorley's, Paul is always up for a good time. I know i can always count on Paul and am thrilled he will be a part of our wedding day.
Gipper
Pupper of Ceremonies
It's Gipper!
