Despite a cold and stormy start to the day, the sun managed to break through the gloom and gave Jessica and Jon a gorgeous afternoon and evening for their wedding at the Merion Tribute House.
Jessica and her bridesmaids all wore robes that corresponded to their dress colors – the theme being a gorgeous and classic silver and gold. Everyone’s hair and makeup was done to perfection and when Jessica slipped into her amazing customized Casablanca gown, jaws hit the floor. She was ready, and ready early, something Jon couldn’t believe.
Jon and his groomsmen were having a great time together, goofing off and getting themselves ready. Cufflinks in sleeves, jacket on and a very dapper bowtie tied about his neck, and he was ready to meet his bride for their wedding.
Their first look was incredible. When Jon saw his wife to be, his face exploded into a huge smile, and he kept whispering to her, “You’re so beautiful”. He repeated that often throughout the day. He couldn’t help it. He loves her so much and she was positively radiant.
This couple has an incredible passion for good food. So much so that they named their reception tables after their favorite restaurants. Places like Prospect in San Fransisco, Les Halles in New York City and Playground in southern California. The meal they served reflected this passion very well, and we even got to partake in it’s deliciousness.
Jessica and Jon, congratulations on finding your true love and making the leap to hold onto each other forever and ever! We wish you the very best!
