The story of Jenn and Paul grew from friendship. They did not enter this union blinded by the unknown but with open eyes and hearts. Knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses, gifts and faults...Love grew in the shadows. This is not a fairytale like the movies, but a true love story. One that has survived trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows. She has given him a sense of family and belonging, he has given her fun, playfulness, and an endless barrage of corny jokes...and more importantly, he loves and cares for Ella, as if she is his own. They have grown as individuals, as a couple, and as a family. Two people that are destined to be together, and are willing to work through the hard times...That is a union that can survive the test of time.
