Groom has a serious illness

I have always had a lot of affection for Justin. He always took time to listen to my troubles and give me a reassuring word when necessary. But today he is also a great inspiration to me and to others. As most of you know, Justin’s been through a lot this past year and a half – the surgery, the rehab – and all that goes with that. But Justin never let any of that get the better of him and his presence here on this wonderful day is a testament to his great strength.

Darren is much more than a great guy. He’s also a force to contend with. As most of you know, Darren has had a rough time this past year. That great big heart of his – the same heart he’s pledging to Jenna today – gave him a scare. It meant surgery and some serious “down time.” But his ‘hey, this is just a bump in the road, let’s get on with the journey’ attitude is a tribute to his strength, of body and spirit.
