Our Wedding

Our Stories

When Phil was younger, he was called&nbsp;PJ. But his little sisters couldn't pronounce 'PJ' so they settled with calling him 'PB' for many&nbsp;years. When he was 5, he decided he was all grown-up and wanted to be called Philip, but that never stuck.

Jen's name begins with the letter J.Phil also didn't like PB&Js until he started dating Jen.









Thus, PB + J = PB&J wedding!

Why 'PB&J' wedding?
