Steve Dobek
Best Man
A.k.a. "Dobek" and Cody have been friends since before high school, sharing so many memories since. The friendship began from playing the game of baseball together and from there, their friendship grew as they stuck by each other’s side through thick & thin, ups & downs, side to sides, you name it. Dobek has always been a huge support to both Katelyn and Cody’s relationship, supporting them as individuals and as a couple. Cody and Dobek have ironically been mistaken for twin brothers a few times from how similar they are too! They hysterically laughed their way through high school, shared many extravagant stories through college, and now are continuing to push each other to reach their life goals. It was only fitting Dobek was the "best man" for the job...
Ashley-Lauren Harmon
Bridesmaid
Ashley-Lauren (yes... two first names) and Katelyn met in college and somehow grew their friendship extremely fast! They were both on the UW-Milwaukee Cheer team and bonded over always being in pain. They always seem to laugh with each other and through cheer have been able to go on many adventures, such as competing in Florida for Nationals. Ashley and Katelyn have continued their friendship after Katelyn graduated and are pretty much always in contact even if they don't get to see each other as often as they would like. When they do get together, their friendship picks up like it never skipped a beat!
Kyle Gruenfeld
Groomsman
A.k.a. “Kyle G” and Cody share a friendship that goes as far back as childhood, times before they both even knew how to ride a bike. Kyle G has always been like the “little brother” that Cody never had, as Cody hoped to look out for the best for Kyle G growing up through both the neighborhood and school. Their friendship was the type that Kyle needed help with something like fixing a snowmobile, or Cody wanted to go do an activity like golfing, they knew they could depend on the other to say yes. The fact that Kyle G is 2 years younger than Cody never came to mind growing up because of how mature their friendship became! No matter how busy life gets in present day, Kyle G and Cody catch up when they can as they both encourage and cheer on each other when they achieve their goals.
TJ Mayland
Bridesmaid
TJ and Katelyn also met in college! She too was on the UW-Milwaukee Cheer team and Ashley, Katelyn and her were pretty much inseparable! They always seemed to be by each other in the routine and TJ had a work ethic that was second to none. She's going to make one heck of a federal agent and is definitely the person to call when you're in trouble. TJ is hilarious and can make everyone in the room laugh at any given moment. TJ live in Minnesota since graduating college, so getting the gang back together can be difficult, but group chats are a lifesaver and our friendship picks right back up when we do get together!
Daniel McCoy
Groomsman
A.k.a "Danny" & Cody have known each other since their middle school days, which all started when Danny moved into Holiday Hills. As the Holiday “Hood” group of friends broke apart slowly, Danny & Cody maintained their friendship and grew closer as it was apparent that other's grew apart. Their friendship was full of humor that only each other could understand, and life conversations that only their personal experiences could provide them! After each day in high school, this friendship shared countless afternoons playing sports, fishing, video games, or just hanging out. Life after high school made it a bit difficult to find the same time to hang out, but they both make sure to keep in touch around work or college as they seek to share and support each other’s life goals and achievements.
