An Assumption Catholic Church Wedding and Swiss Hotel Reception – Guy and Jen’s nuptials

Each wedding I photograph, I always ask the couples for their story. Here is Guy and Jen’s “Jen and Guy met at Will’s Northwoods Inn in Chicago, IL on October 22, 2008. Jen was at Will’s playing in a Euchre league and Guy was there interviewing people for an internet video. Guy stopped Jen to question her about playing Euchre in the bar adorned with dead animals on the walls but eventually the interview led to him asking if she had a boyfriend. The answer was “no,” so the segment continued. After the interview wrapped up, Guy was too nervous to ask Jen out so he sent his friend over to read her a note which asked Jen to join him for a steak dinner. The note included Guy’s phone number so it was up to Jen to call if she was interested.

After going on a lot of bad dates, Jen wasn’t sure about this strange dude with a video camera she just met at a bar but her friend Amanda encouraged her to go for it. So she did.

Jen and Guy went on their first date on October 30, 2008 at Piece Pizzeria. The date started at 7pm and lasted until after 2am – the two going through numerous pints of beer and an entire pizza. They even sang karaoke to Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.”

Almost three years later, on October 1, 2011, Guy proposed to Jen in Cincinnati, OH on the Roebling Bridge – a spot they walk to every year when Jen takes Guy to a Bengals game for his birthday.”

Thank you, Jen and Guy for sharing your story!  Congratulations and best wishes!
