Meet the Didio's

This picture was taken the day after we got engaged!

Meet Jennifer:


I graduated from Western Kentucky University in May 2006 with a degree in Textiles and Apparel Merchandising. I was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority and loved every minute of it. After I graduated, I started working for a cheerleading and dance competition company (JAMfest) where I traveled all over the United States and worked their events. I recently started a new job as an assistant interior designer at Hubbuch & Co. Westport Village in Louisville, KY. In the fall (after the wedding of course), I plan on attending cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell The School Louisville. That will take about 2 years but I can't wait to begin. In my spare time with planning a wedding, working at Hubbuch's, and preparing for cosmetology school, I love to spend time with my friends and family, Kevin, and my chihuahua, Coco!


Meet Kevin:


Kevin graduated from Western Kentucky University with a recreation degree in May 2006. He was a member of Kappa Alpha Order fraternity where he served as president his junior and senior year. After he graduated, he moved to Bardstown, Kentucky where he was a Bourbon Specialist for Maker's Mark. He moved back to Louisville in January 2008 to start his Master's program at Bellarmine University and began working for AT&T Mobility. His job is much more confusing than mine so I will leave it at that. I love having him back in Louisville!


The Story of Us:


Kevin and I met while at Western at his old apartment (also known as the 615) in Bowling Green, Kentucky. After we were both living in Louisville, we decided to take the next step and get engaged. Kevin proposed on May 16, 2008! His sister was pregnant and I had just gotten her a bunch of baby clothes for her upcoming shower. One night after work we decided to meet at his parent's house before going to dinner. He was taking a really long time changing his clothes so I walked into his room to hurry him up. Apparently I ruined the surprise by coming in too early. He then got nervous and handed me a bag from a local department store. I looked in it to see what it was. I pulled out a pink onesie that said "my aunt rocks." I thought it was a sweet gesture but I dismissed it like it was nothing. Kevin told me to look at the tag. He had the ring safety pinned to the tag. I looked up and asked if he was serious and he said "do you wanna get married?" I said "of course" and the rest is history. We are getting married on July 11, 2009 and plan on honeymooning in the Bahamas at Atlantis. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. I can't believe it's almost here! I will be sure to post pictures of both.

  1. Aw, that's a super cute way to propose and I'm a cynical, cynical girl. Live in Louisville, too.

  2. Cosmetology school does take time. the good news is that compared to the old school ways of renewing licenses, people can now do it online. They can take hours of CE requirements online at the comfort of their home. Internet does makes life easier ;)
