A Very Special Times Weddings by the Numbers

So, it's been a little while since the last time we visited the Times Weddings and Celebrations by the Numbers but today there was no way we couldn't count 'em up. If you opened up the paper today you might have noticed that the familiar face of our very own Jen Chung and her new husband Jay Wilkins were the on top of the list of sixteen non-Vows weddings this week.

From the Paper of Record:

Jennifer Christine Chung was married last night to Jay Patrick Wilkins at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in Kaupulehu-Kona, Hawaii. Keith Elliot, a minister of the Church of God, performed the nondenominational ceremony.

And for the record, by the numbers: 29, 40, No NY State Natives, Married Out of State, Columbia, University of Illinois, Couple Photograph Included, No Glasses, Both Teeth Showing, No Bald or Nearly Bald Grooms.

So let's all give a hearty congratulations to Jen and Jay!
