It seems like such a long time ago, Jowita and I settled in for a nights sleep off [ ] on the bank or a fast moving river in Albania. We prepared our tent on the moss strewn beach, built a fire and prepared some tea for what would be the moment i had been anxiously waiting for for the months leading up to this spot. My strategy was simple – “Jowita, we have come a long way together on this journey, but I can not go any further without asking you to be my wife.” I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me and she agreed.

Nearly two years later, Jowita and I will be receiving the sacrament of marriage on Aug 20th, the year 2011 at Our Lady Mother of the Church Polish Mission in Willow Springs, IL at 3pm.

Following the ceremony, we will launch a bicycle procession from the church, through the town of Willow Springs to arrive at the Royalty West Banquet Hall. Everyone is invited to bring their bicycle and celebrate with us through the machine that has played such an important role in both of our lives.
