Jenn + Dylan Quinn, October 7, 2023

Jenn Parker, 29, graduated from KU and then moved to Kansas City. She and Dylan have been together for five years, and both love all things Western, thus they wanted to incorporate western and romantic details in their wedding with really personal touches for both of their families.

Dylan Quinn, 32, was born and raised in Kansas City. His parents also grew up in Kansas City. He graduated from Kansas State, where he was a cheerleader. He’s the vice president of Quinn Real Estate Company, a family company that he runs with his dad and brother. Jenn and Dylan live in Prairie Village with their dog Beckham.

Jenn and Dylan had known about each other through mutual friends and social media, but officially met at a friend’s wedding in 2018. “A week after we started dating, Dylan went with me to a wedding in Vail, Colorado. Since then, we’ve made a yearly tradition of going to Vail in the fall,” Jenn recalls. “He proposed in Vail, at Oktoberfest, with an emerald ring that belonged to my mom, who passed away when I was 12. I had never seen the stone in person until Dylan proposed with it.”

The blissful couple tied the knot on October 7, 2023. Attending Jenn as Maid of Honor was Haley Goren; Kyrie Quinn served as Matron of Honor; bridesmaids were Hayley Lewis, Tigist Quinn and Mahlet Quinn. Harrison Quinn served as Best Man; groomsmen were Jacob Quinn, Johnny Quinn, Mark Harris and Chris Martin.

“For our wedding day, we wanted everything to be intimate and have personal touches to make it unique. My bridesmaids wore white, which was very different, but I loved it. Our venue has such beautiful landscaping and fall trees, and the white looked so beautiful in photos, classic and unique” Jenn shares. “My mom passed away when I was 12, so I wanted to incorporate little touches of her and make it feel like she was there. I did this in the flowers, picking her favorite flowers for bouquets, incorporating yellows and purples. I also had a sprig of rosemary at each place setting. Rosemary symbolizes remembrance and honoring someone who wasn’t there. The tables were all named for a horse that Dylan’s family had owned at one point. Our rehearsal dinner was denim themed, and it was at the Quinn’s barn under string lights with tables set up next to the horse stalls.”

Jenn and Dylan have yet to honeymoon. “Right after the wedding, we had two other weddings for friends. We also moved into a new house, so we’re doing our honeymoon for our one-year anniversary, in St. Lucia, to relax, enjoy a new place we’ve never been and enjoy the beaches!”
