Jay & Ellen

About Us

"I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out."

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The Bride

The Bride

"Ellen is one of those special people in the world who makes a positive impact on all the people's lives she encounters. She is a genuine, heartfelt, giving person and I am proud to call her my bride and my best friend. Among Ellen's many talents and hobbies is the art of photography. Her dream is to be a photographer, and I believe this is because she naturally likes to help others and wants to make the great moments in other peoples lives as memorable as possible. The past several years have been exciting, romantic, and fun, because of the beautifiul lady I am about to marry. I cherish my past with her, I relish the present with her, and I smile toward our future because I know we make a great team."

The Groom

The Groom

"Although I've known Jay for almost five years, I still get excited every time I learn something new about him-and I fall in love all over again. He is a true gentleman and romantic, with an adventurous side that always keeps me guessing. But what I love most, is he never takes the small blessings in life for granted and he reminds me to slow down and enjoy each moment. Because of this, I know he was born to be a teacher, inspiring others to live their life to the fullest. I'm so proud of him and can't wait to support him through his journey to earn a doctorate and become a college professor. I'm excited to start this new chapter in our lives because he has shown me what a wonderful team we are. I have found my soulmate and dream come true."
