Our Story

About the Area

Located in Blair County and nestled among the Allegheny Mountains, the greater Altoona area is home to approximately 60,000 people. In its heyday, Altoona was an important industrial hub, as it was the location of the largest railroad shop (Altoona Works) in the United States and a major thoroughfare for trains via the Horseshoe Curve. Central Pennsylvania and "Happy Valley" – home to Penn State—are heralded for their natural beauty. State parks, hiking trails, caves and caverns, and lakes abound.Altoona is home to Sheetz, the major gas station/fast food chain; the production site of the Slinky; and Leap-The-Dips, the world's oldest operating roller coaster.

Our Wedding

Jess

Jess is the daughter of Jim and Wendy Campbell and younger sister of Alex. She graduated with a B.A. in history from George Mason University in May 2014 and works in the publications department at the American Educational Research Association in Washington, DC. She loves spending time with her family, dogs (Dusty and Lars), and wonderful friends; reading and singing; recycling; taking walks; traveling to new places; eating ice cream; and making to-do lists she rarely completes.

Tim is the son of Stu and Donna Sibold and older brother of Bryan, Rachel, Sara, and Xavier. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 2010 to 2015. He attained the rank of Sergeant and worked as a radio repairman at Electronics Maintenance Company, 2D Maint. Battalion, at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. He enjoys listening to music, painting, studying history, goofing around, watching and/or quoting all of the greatest movies ever, and shooting his guns and bow.

We began dating halfway through our junior year of high school at Bishop Guilfoyle. A little less than two years into our relationship, when Tim was leaving for bootcamp and Jess for college, we'd fallen in love and wanted to continue dating. We knew we'd be separated by distance and sometimes completely barred from communication, and that we were taking distinctly different paths, but we felt that we had something special and that it was worth putting in the time and effort to stay together and to see where things would go. It has been wonderful growing up together, and 7.5 years later, we're each so excited to be marrying our best friend!

Our Proposal

On Friday, June 5, 2015, Jess thought that she was attending a dinner picnic at Lake Barcroft with her friends Dana, Rachel, and Joey. She realized she was mistaken, however, when the three of them turned and ran away upon reaching the lake and Tim appeared from behind a tree near the water, looking very handsome—and decidedly unprepared for a picnic—in a suit. He proposed on a small dock near the water. Jess was completely surprised, but elated, and said yes, and the rest is history!

Five wonderful years of friendship later, Rachel is blessed to call Jess her best friend and is honored to be a part of her wedding day!Rachel works as a meeting coordinator for a trade association in Washington, DC. She enjoys being a wife, reading books, being surrounded by nature (especially during the autumn season), spending time with friends and family, doing Pinterest projects, watching The Princess Bride (too many times to count), organizing events, and commiserating with Jess when their significant others start communicating through movie quotes and references.
