Jeremy and Kabedi's Wedding in Mt Zion, Illinois

The story of our wedding

Hi!

My name is Kabedi. My husband Jeremy and I are high school sweethearts and were married in May of 2021!

Five years into our relationship, he proposed to me at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Two years later, I got to marry the love of my life.

I had never had a dream of getting married. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't realize someone could love me that much. We are both extremely easy going individuals with no dream of what we wanted our wedding to look like. Luckily, we had a dream team of almost THIRTY in our wedding party who threw the best wedding for us! We ended up with over 250 people attending our beautiful day. It was a whiplash of emotion. Lots of laughter. Lots of tears. So much happiness!

Our day was not traditional. Our best friend walked me down the aisle due to my dad passing away in 2018. Our ring bearess carried our rings down on a little Eiffel Tower. Our friend officiated. My best friend carried her newborn down the aisle instead of flowers. We had a mixed wedding party with girls on his side as well. Capri Sun Pacific Cooler was our signature drink. We wore customized Vans. Our talented friends did a 4k live stream for our families and friends who couldn't make it. We hired our friends to plan, DJ, make the cake, do decor, etc.
