Bride
I am a tall (5‘9”), medium-built, with a pleasant demeanor. Serving at church in various ministries is my hobby and that’s why you will find me always at church. I also have a hidden passion for photography and travel but rarely get to enjoy this passion as it involves spending money! Long train journeys is something I've always wanted to experience. My dream job would be editing films, TV shows, and/or commercials for a Christian Studio; accomplishing The Great Commission through visual arts! But nothing brings me the kind of joy as our daughter, Mikayla, brings me everyday!
Groom
Originally from Lombard, I have been living in Villa Park for over 5 years. I am 5'9" and moderately built. My political obsession helps me stay informed of the wold around me! My job as a Shuttle Driver has given me the freedom to be me! My job also keeps me on my toes as I am always trying to learn new ways to improve my delivery times. I especially value humor, being able to laugh at yourself, being able to communicate, culture in general, social issues, staying healthy, and the freedom to think out of the box. My new found faith has opened my eyes to a whole new world that I never thought possible. Case in point, the joys of my life, Jen & Mikayla.
