Dalina Lowdermilk
& Mike Klan
ocal KEYT sports anchor Mike Klan met his wife, Dalina, while they were
both working at the news station; she as the weekend news producer and he
as the weekend sports anchor. After a few years of dating, Mike proposed at their
Montecito home with a three-stone platinum ring, followed by a dinner at Lucky’s
on Coast Village Road.
The couple got hitched at Montecito Country Club on July 1, 2006. Dalina,
a Montecito native, attended Montecito Union School, Our Lady of Mount
Carmel, and Westmont. Upon arrival, the 200 wedding guests were served
lemonade to cool off before the ocean-view nuptials. The ring bearers, two-year-
old twins, refused to put on their tuxedos; they ended up walking down the aisle
with un-tucked shirts. “They still looked as cute as ever,” the bride recalls. The
attendants included Dalina’s best friend, Liz Strittmatter, a Santa Barbara native.
The groom’s best man, John Leggat, is his best friend from UCSB college days.
Guests dined on a three-tiered wedding cake made by a dear friend of the
bride’s while the newlyweds showed off their swing dance moves during their first
dance. The reception hall at Montecito Country Club was adorned with vibrant
pink and green flowers, in keeping with the theme of the bright summer affair.
Guests were treated to Baby Ruth candy bars and bags of peanuts as favors, in
celebration of Mike’s love of sports.
The couple honeymooned at El Dorado Royale, a resort in Playa Del Carmen.
They are now parents to one-year-old Natalie Rose Klan, who was born September
21, 2010.
