Meet The Couple
For those who have not had the pleasure of meeting our better half we've created a mini-bio for you to get to know them before the big day!
MEET THE BRIDE
Malia Renee
Malia had the fortune of growing up on the beaches of Hawaii and in the mountains of Colorado. She moved to Illinois for college where she graduated with a BS in Marketing & Sport Management from Loyola's Quinlan School of Business. After college, she founded Wildflower Weddings and has worked in the wedding industry ever since! A self-proclaimed "Martha Stewart", she enjoys cooking, a good margarita, and is currently trying her hand at gardening.
​
Fun Fact: Malia is a classically trained singer!
Kyle John
MEET THE GROOM
Ohio-born and Plainfield-raised, Kyle has remained in the cornfields his entire life! After graduating with his Associates in Fire Science he worked as a volunteer firefighter until landing a warehouse job at Petco. In his free time you can find Kyle hanging at the Brewery with his friends, watching all the Chicago sports teams (minus the Cubs) and of course, eating Malia's food.
​
Fun Fact: Kyle is still a White Sox fan despite their recent news of hitting a historic level of losing.
Honorable Mentions
Although our dogs are unable to join us to celebrate, we couldn't get away without mentioning them to you!
Ember Mosey
Our big lazy dog! Although she looks tough Ember is afraid of everything (unless she has her panda PJs on - they protect her from thunder). Ember holds the record for longest nap and shortest walk. When she's not napping in some corner of the house you can find her basking in the sun or watching TV.
Stella Artois
Coming in at a whopping 30 lbs, Stella is constantly guarding the windows and always protects the yard from possums. With more energy than we know what to do with you can normally find her playing with her stuffed bunny.​ As our resident problem child she likes to keep Mom & Dad on their toes.
