Jennifer and Nic, who met through an Arizona State University international volunteering trip, were married on February 11, 2022.
Jennifer looked gorgeous in a fit-and-flare off-the-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline, embellished overlay, and a train. Her accessories included a pendant necklace, drop earrings, and a knee-length veil. Her bouquet was composed of red, pink, and white roses with botanical accents. Her six bridesmaids wore coordinating full-length maroon dresses. They carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Nic got married in a classic black tuxedo with a black vest, white shirt, white bow tie, white pocket square, and mini rose bouquet boutonniere. His six groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos with black vests, white shirts, black bow ties, black pocket squares, and mini rose bouquet boutonnieres.
In their personal vows, Jennifer told Nic that on her best days, he’s always beside her. Nic told Jennifer how proud he is of everything she’s accomplished and that he can’t wait to start the next chapter of their lives.
Later, guests sat down to a meal of baby greens wrapped in cucumber strips with mandarin oranges, berries, feta cheese, sugared walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing; herb-roasted prime beef with mushroom au jus and horseradish; grilled salmon with hollandaise sauce and lemon beurre blanc topped with crème fraiche and sturgeon caviar; steamed vegetables with herb butter; and herb-roasted red potatoes. The signature cocktails were a prickly pear margarita and an old-fashioned. There was also a dessert table and a doughnut wall. The wedding favors were jars of honey.
The maid of honor and the best man both gave toasts.
Nic and Jennifer’s first dance as man and wife was to “Homesick” by Kane Brown. Jennifer and her father danced to “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson and Nic and his mother danced to “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Other wedding fun included an anniversary dance, a photobooth, the shoe game, and bouquet and garter tosses.
The three-tier white wedding cake was done in a naked frosting design. It was decorated with a cascade of roses and topped with an ornament bearing the couple’s last name.
After a private last dance to “Worship You” by Kane Brown, Nic and Jennifer left their wedding under the signature sparkler exit.
We wish them all the best in their new marriage!
