A short snippet about the bride and groom
The Bride
Janelle grew up in the Bay Area, spending much of her childhood in San Jose, CA. She studied school psychology and has an MA from the University of the Pacific. She loves long walks in nature, biking, swimming, reading a nice book on the beach, traveling, baking, and watching Harry Potter movies for the seventeenth time.
The Groom
Osama was born in Babylon, Iraq, and spent much of his childhood between Yemen, Iraq, and Bahrain. He came to the United States as an immigrant with his family in 2012. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University in Graphic Design. He moved to the Bay Area in 2022, and that is where he resides now. His hobbies are photography, music, biking, hiking, and watching Seinfeld for the seventeenth time.
