THE BRIDE: Jenna is an Operations Assistant at The Background Bureau, and she is originally from Owensboro, KY.
THE GROOM: Christian is a Project Analyst at The Nielsen Company, and he is originally from Monticello, KY.
TOGETHER FOR: 2 1/2 years
HOW DID YOU MEET? They went to U of L together. Christian was working the front desk at a dorm on campus, and Jenna was there to meet a friend. They all went out to dinner that night, but Christian and Jenna never stopped talking to each other.
YOUR FAVORITE STORY ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP: One Easter, Christian found out Jenna had never been on an Easter egg hunt. Jenna came home to find the door to her living room locked. When Christian let Jenna inside, he informed her that he had hidden Cadbury creme eggs around the apartment. They always try to find creative ideas like this to surprise each other.
YOUR ENGAGEMENT STORY: Christian got down on one knee to ask Jenna after a candle-lit breakfast.
WEDDING DATE: June 9, 2012
WEDDING COLORS OR THEME: Navy, Yellow, and Hot Pink. They'll focus on sunshine, birds, summer, and love.
IS THERE A DETAIL ABOUT YOUR WEDDING/RECEPTION THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR GUESTS TO SEE?: The light-up dance floor!
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU'RE DOING TO PERSONALIZE YOUR WEDDING/RECEPTION TO MAKE IT UNIQUELY "YOU?": [Jenna] We're personalizing a lot of different things about our wedding. My dress has been called "SO YOU" by every person who's seen a picture of it. We'll have memorial candles for our lost loved ones. The light-up dance floor is a must because we both like to dance so much. And since our monogram is a T, we're toying with the idea of including tea and teapots or teacups in some way, possibly as a favor.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU'VE LEARNED AS YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING?: [Jenna] The wedding is just one day; the important thing is the life you build together AFTER the wedding.
[Christian] Some things are insanely more expensive than originally planned while others are ridiculously more cheap than imagined.
ANY ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES?: [Jenna] Focus on the marriage, not the wedding. It's not worth it to go into debt for one day of your life.
[Christian] Keep your future husband in the loop.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?: [Christian] Don't forget the reason for your wedding in the first place.
Your wedding sounds beautiful! The light-up dance floor is such an incredible idea!...you definitely have to have a creative and unique type personality to even think of that! I also love the color theme and idea of tea/tea pots. Good luck with everything! :)
