Danielle & Evan
Wedding Party
John Ulekowski
Father of the Bride
Danielle has always been a daddy's girl. They share their love of music and the family past time of overeating. He has always been a source of inspiration for Danielle to chase her dreams. He was able to turn his passion into a career and was a musician at Disney World for 18 years. Losing Cathy and Yoshiko (John's mother) in 2018 devastated the family, but it also brought the family closer together. John welcomed Evan into the family with open arms.
Cathy Ulekowski
Mother of the Bride
In memory 08/05/1956 - 11/04/2018 Cathy was Danielle's inspiration, friend, mentor and hero. She is greatly missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to have her in their life. "A hero is someone who is concerned with other people's well-being and will go out of his or her way to help them -- even if there is no chance at a reward." Stan Lee
Elizabeth Bradford
Mother of the Groom
Some people say that being a mommas-boy can be bad for your health. Even though Evan gets his love of food from his mother, she is truly one of his greatest sources of strength. From overcoming adversity with grace and poise to her taking a shot on running her own business, and succeeding, Elizabeth has always been the light at the end of the tunnel for Evan. The voice in the back of his mind yelling "Call your mother!" Yet, always the shelter from any storm that came his way.
Rodger Field Sr.
Father of the Groom
Evan likes to attest that one very strong reason as to why he is the man he is today is because of his father, Rodger. A man that woke up everyday before the sun, went off to work to help provide for his family everyday and make sure that they were living their best life possible. Even if that meant waking up his sons at 8 am on a saturday with a weed-eater by their window. Rodger has been a symbol of strength, perseverance, and a great example of what it means to love.

Najee Wooten
Best Man
Evan and Najee met almost 9 years ago at Best Buy. Since Najees' first words of "Yea, I don't like you", a budding bromance blossomed. Najee and Evan have since been inseperable. Through ups and downs, inbetween jobs and homes, there was always one canstant in both of their lives these last few years, and that is standing over one's bed brushing their teeth, staring, whilst the other slept. This is one strange love story . . .
