Sorry ladies, Adam Jones is officially off the market, that is if any ladies wondering about Jones are out there and read this. In what some may describe as an act of God, Adam lucked out and snagged quite a catch when he tied the knot with the beautiful and talented, Leslie Sullivan. The wedding took place at the luxurious Palmer House Hilton Hotel, on January 8th. All of Leslie’s hard work payed off when friends an family were treated to a beautiful and tasteful ceremony, followed by a barn burning reception, with many of your favorite Lions in attendance. The night was described by Patrick O’Reilly as being “the most fun I have ever had in my 60+ years on this earth!”
Born in Springfield, IL to “the most loving parents a girl could have”, Leslie moved around Wisconsin during early childhood, before returning to Illinois in middle school, landing in the small town of Washington, IL. This is where she spent the rest of her pre-collegiate years, “where I met great friends that I have to this day… also where I originally met a cute boy, Adam, for the first time.” We assume she’s talking about about Jones, but the “cute” part threw me. Little did she know, they would meet again many years later…
Leslie went to undergraduate and graduate school at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb amongst the corn. She obtained a degree in Speech-Language Pathology and has since worked as an SLP in schools, hospitals and now in skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers. Her career, both trying and rewarding, has not only allowed her to be amazed by the strength of people and learn from her patients, but she has also meet great friends along the way.
Adam is a 10 year veteran of the Lions and loves the band Faith No More, and more so, the lead singer Mike Patton.
Oddly enough Adam and Leslie met in High School, but due to extenuating circumstances,they never connected until recently. After college, they both settled in to adult lives in “Sweet Home Chicago.” Like ships passing in the night, their paths didn’t cross for more than eight years of living in the same city, much less living a block from each other. So after missing each other in neighborhoods, street fests, Cubs, Blackhawks games, and favorite restaurants and bars, they found each other on Facebook. They met for the first time in 15 years at Adam’s 30th birthday extravaganza (see photo). The combination of Right Gin and Ocho Tequila with Playoff Hockey sparked the beginning of a wonderful night and relationship that would eventually culminate to a glorious wedding.
Get social with the Lions!
