Cheryle Denee Gardner
I have lived in Virginia my entire life. I was born in Roanoke & raised in Northern Virginia
before our family moved to Richmond around the time I was twelve years of age. My
birthday is September 17th, 1974. When I graduated from Radford University, I became an
elementary art teacher & have been teaching now for ten years. I worked for Prince
William County Schools for three years & I have been at Tolbert Elementary for the last
seven. I really enjoy my career! (You can click on this link to see some photos of me & my
students here: John W. Tolbert Jr. Elementary School

I was born in France on October the 8th, 1973. I lived in Tours, France for five years
before my family moved to Argentina. We lived there until I was the age of seven &
then moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After living in Brazil for six years, we moved to
the United States. I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in
photography and art history. I currently am the marketing director at Virginia
International University.

After the Wedding
We will travel to two different countries after the wedding. Our honeymoon will be in Playa del Carmen, Mexico &
then we will attend another wedding reception hosted by Sebastien's parents in France.
Hello! My name is Jake (yes, I am a foxhound) & I am so happy that my parents will be
getting married soon! My mommy was volunteering as a dog walker at the Friends of
Homeless Animals Shelter when she spotted me & right away fell in love with me :) I was
adopted that very same day & she took me to my new home in Ashburn a week later. I am
now seven years old and very happy in my life! I love to go on long hikes with my parents,
especially at Great Falls. They also take me to the Shirlington Dog Park about every
weekend. I have gone on many road trips with my parents...Quebec, Maine, Niagra Falls &
Shenendoah Valley. Some of my very favorite things to do are take naps in front of the
fireplace, chase squirrels, go on car rides, & play catch with Mom & Dad. About three times
a month I go visit my Grandparents in Alexandria. (They always give me lots of food & I
love mashed potatoes...like my Dad!!!)
