Parents of the groom are Anna DaProza of El Paso, N.M., and Jerry and Kim DaProza of Channahon, Ill. Grandparents are Leo and June DaProza of Braham, Minn., and the late Louis and Mary Jimmie.

For something old, the bride wore her Grandmother Jennison’s engagement diamond ring set in a heart necklace. A strapless chiffon over satin gown with an empire waist, featuring a crystal brooch was something new.
