Bride Bio
Josie Renee Hutchinson
The Lion
Josie has worked at Loyola Marymount University, home of the "Lions", since August 2006. She serves as the Campus Recreation
Assistant Director of Events & Marketing. Part of her job is to put on entertainment for the students at LMU, including comedy shows, music performances, and other special events. She also works with very talented students to design and promote
printed materials.
The Instructor
It is no suprise the "teacher bug" is coming out more and more in this bride. The mother of the bride has been an elementary
teacher for the last 15 years. Josie teaches in two different ways: 1. At LMU, she has taught a Leadership class. This course is designed to develop students through self exploration and value identity. 2. Since February 2007, Josie has been certified
as a Spinning Instructor. Since then she has added an AFAA Group Exercise and PiYo certifications. This has resulted in her schedule include anywhere from 3-6 classes taught each week.
Always a Small Town Girl
Despite the length of time Josie has lived in Los Angeles, she continues to reflect on her small town roots. Growing up in
Newcastle, Wyoming with a population of 3,000 she had such experiences as learning to drive a stick shift Ford pick-up truck and driving an hour and a half to the closest shopping mall.
The Bride!
Ever since April 5th, 2008, Josie has been thrilled to be engaged! Stealing every free moment to brainstorm, reserach and plan
for her (and Lloyd's) wedding day. From trying on dresses, chatting with her bridesmaids, creating budget spreadsheets or compairing color schemes, the planning process has been fun so far! Now if only Lloyd would just let her plan it and leave his
opinions to himself! :)
