Monica and Jordan might have met at a dodge ball tournament, but they didn\u2019t dodge the big question when the time came and were married on Saturday, January 23.<\/p>\n

The bride donned a beaded, floral-patterned Oleg Cassini wedding dress with a ballgown skirt and semi-sweetheart neckline \u2013 accompanied by a lengthy veil and round bouquet of white roses. Her 10 bridesmaids also held round bouquets of white roses, all modeling floor-length, emerald Vera Wang gowns with asymmetrical, V-neck, and halter necklines.<\/p>\n\"Emerald-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Jordan sported a three-piece suit \u2013 black trousers and jacket with a white vest \u2013 with a white dress shirt, bowtie, and rose ornamenting his lapel.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, dinner started with Caesar salad, and the main course included chicken breast with mango slices, along with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. The four-tiered, chocolate and vanilla wedding cake came in detailed vanilla frosting; adorned with a \u201cMr. & Mrs.\u201d cake topper and white roses.<\/p>\n\"Emerald-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

During toasts, the Best Man talked about locker room competitions, how he introduced Monica and Jordan, and finally left Jordan with a simple piece of advice: \u201cHappy wife, happy life.\u201d The Maid of Honor, Monica\u2019s now sister-in-law, talked about how they were like sisters, and won\u2019t forget the day Monica met Jordan, and his top-secret proposal. Jordan\u2019s other sisters also spoke, advising Monica to be patient with her new husband, how they tried to be the snooty sisters with Monica but it didn\u2019t work, and how Jordan is the best big brother ever. They also thanked the guests for attending the \u201cKim and Kanye\u201d wedding.<\/p>\n\"Emerald-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Monica and Jordan\u2019s First Dance was to Meghan Trainor\u2019s \u201cLike I\u2019m Gonna Lose You.\u201d The Mother\/Son Dance was to \u201cAlways Be My Baby\u201d by Mariah Carey. As Monica lost her father a couple years prior to the wedding day, Jordan\u2019s brothers and groomsmen danced with her for the Father\/Daughter Dance.<\/p>\n

During the reception, videos were shown of Monica and her father, along with a video of Jordan\u2019s proposal to Monica. The new couple donated to the American Cancer Society on behalf of their wedding guests as gifts. They also had a photobooth for their guests, and the groomsmen got pretty silly.<\/p>\n\"Emerald-Wedding-Villa-Siena<\/a>\n

Monica and Jordan left under the signature sparkler farewell, and we wish them all the best on their life together.<\/p>\n
