\"\"<\/a>Jessica and Ben, who met in junior high, dated in high school, and attended the University of Arizona together, were married on June 3, 2017.<\/p>\n

Jessica selected an elegant A-line Maggie Sotero gown that featured cap sleeves and a sweetheart illusion neckline and illusion plunging back, embellished with lace and beading. She accessorized with stud earrings and a full-length veil. Her large bouquet featured a variety of flowers in subtle tones of white, peach, and pink, accented with eucalyptus leaves and other botanical accents. Her four bridesmaids wore identical pale pink, halter-neck, full-length gowns, and carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Ben got married in a dark gray suit with a navy blue tie and pink flower boutonniere. His four groomsmen wore light gray suits with navy blue ties and white rose boutonnieres. All the gentlemen wore matching argyle socks.<\/p>\n

The traditional ceremony included music by a string quartet and a reading from the Bible.<\/p>\n

Guests played a movie trivia game to see who would be first to eat a dinner of mixed-greens salad with goat cheese and fruit, beef and chicken entrees, fresh green beans, and potato skins. There was also a donut bar.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

During the toasts, the maid of honor told the story of how Jessica asked Ben to go to a dance in high school. The best man said that he’s never not know the newlyweds as a couple, and said he couldn’t express how much it meant to him to be there.<\/p>\n

Ben and Jessica shared their first dance as man and wife to “I Will Follow You” by Toulouse. Jessica and her father danced to “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, and Ben and his mother danced to “My Girl” by The Temptations.<\/p>\n

The wedding cake was three tiers done in white with a rib pattern, decorated with a cascade of flowers and a custom cake topper of the couple’s last name.<\/p>\n

Jessica and Ben left their special day under the signature sparkler send-off, and honeymooned on a Caribbean cruise. We wish them all the best in their new adventure together!<\/p>\n
