Jenna and Anthony were welcomed at Villa Siena November 17, 2012. The couple, who had shared a love for ten years, was married in a ceremony that celebrated family and friends. Jenna wore a white strapless gown with a ruffled skirt. Jewelry consisted of a heart-shaped diamond on a chain, drop earrings and a diamond bracelet. The bridal bouquet was made up of purple and white calla lilies and with a backdrop of deep violet flowers. The groom chose a black tuxedo with silk piping and a purple tie. White rose petals lined the red carpet leading to the altar and Jenna’s groom. During the ceremony the couple lit a unity candle that rested on a silver candleholder with hearts entwined.
At the guest sign-in table was a picture of the couple as kids near a picture of them now. Two oversized wedding rings were entwined on the table as décor. Custom lighting that read Jenna & Anthony and their date of marriage in purple and gold welcomed the guests into the dining area.
The couple, who had met ten years earlier at a gym, ended up going to prom together. The prom theme was Kenny Chesney’s Me and You, so it was only fitting the couple danced their first dance as husband and wife to the same song. A slideshow documenting the couple’s love played during the reception. The mothers of the bride and groom gave toasts along with the groom’s brother and bride’s sister.
For favors, the couple offered a candy bar so guests could satisfy the need for sweets. A framed picture said Love. Love is patient, love is kind, love never fails. A gourmet coffee and tea bar was another touch that was appreciated by guests. The cake was a three-tiered affair with a purple ribbon, and two layers with diamond accents and ‘E’ on top.
Congratulations Jenna and Anthony. May the love that began ten years ago last longer than a lifetime.
