I met Katelyn through church, and was lucky enough to be in a huddle with her and get to know her. I love how full of knowledge Katelyn is and how she uses it to be more compassionate towards others. Being able to see how Daniel and Katelyn were able to come back together, truly shows their connection and love for each other. Cannot wait to celebrate their love and story at their wedding!

My relationship with Katelyn has truly been led by God himself. I prayed for friends and at a women's conference, Katelyn happened to find me alone at a table and she's been my best friend ever since! I am so blessed to have Katelyn in my life and to be able to walk through life with her! I can't wait to see everything that is to come for Katelyn and Daniel and the future they have together!
Rodaina Hazem Monieb - Bridesmaid (Friend)
Hi, I’m Rodaina, a proud hallway meet-cute turned lifelong sidekick! Two years ago, a chance hello in the hallway at work (thanks, mutual friends!) turned into numerous girl nights, sleepovers, therapy sessions, and endless laughing fits. Now I’m honored to stand beside my girlie pop as she marries the love of her life and best friend Daniel. When I’m not fluffing her veil, you will find me on the dance floor over-the-moon happy for our gorgeous bride. Here’s to a forever friendship, happily-ever-afters, and all the love in the world.

Joshua “Josh” Kohl - Co-Best Man (Brother)
I am Daniel's older brother, and having been there from the start it's been a joy seeing Daniel succeed in baseball, lizard conservation, and medicine - all done so with his particular brand of unwavering persistence and attention to detail. As co-best man, I am honored to stand by my brother's side and couldn't be happier to celebrate this next chapter in my brother's life.
Benjamin “Ben” Kohl - Co-Best Man (Brother)
I am Daniel’s youngest brother. Being only a year and a half apart, we always grew up going through a lot of shenanigans together. Seeing Daniel grow as a person with Katelyn in his life has been awesome to be a part of. I am so grateful to be part of this wedding and excited to see their relationship continue to grow and be blessed by marriage.
Benjamin “Ben” Andersen - Groomsman (Brother-In-Law)
My name is Benjamin and I am the younger brother of Katelyn. I have always valued the effort Daniel has put in to get to know each and every one of Katelyn’s siblings. Family is everything to us and I’m honored to call him my brother-in-law. I can’t wait to stand with Daniel and Katelyn on their big day.
Jake Erven - Groomsman (Brother-In-Law)
As Katelyn’s stepbrother, I’ve had the joy of seeing their relationship grow from both sides. Katelyn has always meant a lot to me, and it’s clear Daniel is the perfect match for her. I’m proud to stand with them as they start this next chapter together.
Rob Holmquist - Groomsman (Friend)
I met Dan in college when we joined the same fraternity, and we quickly became friends over our similar humor and taste in movies. I have always found Dan to be an intelligent, funny, and kind guy, and I’m honored that he asked me to be one of his groomsmen. Based on how he talks about Katelyn, I can tell he cares deeply for her, and I’m sure they have a long happy life together ahead of them.
Nic “Tez” Mertes - Groomsman (Friend)
Hey everyone! My name is Nic but most of you will come to know me as “Tez.” I met Dan back in our junior year of college at Rockhurst. We both played baseball and developed an awesome friendship, we even had the chance to be roommates the following year. We’ve made some great memories both on and off the field! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Katelyn a number of times and I know she’ll be an amazing addition to the Kohl family. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and hopefully we can catch a glimpse of the illusive “Steve Madden!”
Kyle Robinson - Groomsman (Friend)
I first met Daniel at the beginning of pharmacy school (We attended Creighton together). Slowly, we grew closer as we worked on projects together or visiting local breweries for the occasional night out. Daniel was always staying up late working in his lab. He put in the hard work and enjoyed the benefits of his success. I could tell something was different about him when he met Katelyn. His motivation shifted. He was no longer working for himself, but for his future together with Katelyn. He took more time to think about his decisions and outcomes, especially when deciding future employment opportunities. I’m so thankful to know Daniel and to watch him grow and change for the better since Katelyn entered his life. Congratulations to the lucky couple, and I’m honored to participate in their special day.
