Jen and Chris met years ago
when both were working for the alternative weekly newspaper in
Charlottesville. Chris had just relocated from Rhode Island, and, he
says, he and Jen “clicked from day one.”
The Bride Jen Fariello, 32, photographer
The Groom Chris Conklin, 32, graphic designer
Two
years later, Chris presented Jen with a very special birthday gift -- a
camera bag packed with goodies that represented their time together.
Along with a favorite CD and a bottle of their favorite wine, Jen found
a new favorite thing -- an engagement ring. The couple used their long
engagement (four years!) to their advantage, planning out every detail
of their intimate autumn wedding hosted at their Virginia home.
