It was about a year ago when Jessica Przybylski met her future husband Edward Gomez on a work crew at the Chippewa County Jail painting a hill.

On Monday they had their day in court as family, friends and inmates came to witness the marriage between the two at the Chippewa Falls courthouse.

While Przybylski is still behind bars, they both await the day they can be together forever.

Both Gomez and Przybylski got to know each other during the course of six months when they were out of jail. However, Przybylski went back to jail on drug-related charges and has spent months with strained communications with Gomez, which she said is one of the most difficult parts of having a relationship with someone in jail.

“Communication is hard,” Przybylski said. “This is the first time we’ve actually even seen each other in three months.”

She said she will be out at the end of the month when she goes to an inpatient drug rehab center, but neither wanted to wait any longer to have the wedding.

In arranging a wedding between the two, Sheriff Jim Kowalczyk said it’s not much different than a regular wedding.
