Jennifer and Brent : Wedding

Brent had everything perfectly planned. The chartered flight from Newport Beach to Santa Barbara for the weekend, the romantic dinner, the convertible. Everything was planned with Jennifer in mind. Just as he had done twenty years earlier, he surprised her by taking Jennifer to the exact spot where he proposed. They spent the weekend together, only to return to Orange County and recommit their lives and love to each other.

Jennifer and Brent met when they were only 17 years old, and have never left each other’s sides. Two decades later, surrounded by their closest family and friends, they said I Do at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. The sun waltzed with the nebulous clouds against the azure sky as their four children looked on with pride and contentment. Jennifer and Brent looked at each other with an enviable love. A love that says You’re still the person I want to sit next to me in a convertible as we chase our hopes and dreams. A love that is just as beautiful as it was 20 years before.

As thin wine glasses were raised in their honor, Brent and Jennifer looked around at the guests at their wedding reception and smiled. As he closed his speech, Brent asked if they’d be fortunate enough to have the honor of all of their guests return as he and Jennifer celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. The room was filled with cheers and laughter, everyone knowing twenty years of marriage was just the beginning for two amazing people.

Jennifer and Brent…I admire you in more ways than you know. I, too, hope in 20 years I can look my husband in the face and swear to love him more than I have before. Your family is beautiful, loving, and perfect…and that’s just on the inside! Thank you for showing how fabulous love can age. Much like wine, it only gets better with time! Love and Appreciation…J*

Nothing says Fall Wedding than a pair of chocolate brown Valea shoes! 🙂

All the florals were provided by the ever fabulous Square Root Designs

Jennifer wrote a love note to Brent just before the ceremony…

During the ceremony, the entire family partook in a sand ceremony…

As we descended to the beach, Jennifer walked slowly, so Brent swept her up and carried her the rest of the way…

Okay, so I love cake. But I ADORE this mini wedding cake the Montage serves individually to guests…so cute! A special thanks must go to Jaime and Patty of the Montage for their relentless service and attention to detail…love these ladies! 🙂
