Brendan + Jenna

filed in:

After dinner was over at the rehearsal, one by one, different friends and family members stood up and shared just how much they love Brendan and Jenna. Groomsmen shared stories and talked about how much respect and love they have for Brendan and bridesmaids stood up and thanked Jenna for being such a trustworthy, intentional friend. However, they didn’t just talk about them separately. EVERYONE shared about how amazing they are as a couple and how they have learned so much from their relationship. It’s a beautiful thing to see two friends who everyone loves and admires, start a life together!! Michael and I just love these two. Brendan was in our bridal party and has been such a loyal friend to Michael over the last 5 years. Jenna has been a part of my life since I was a junior in college and she was a freshman!

They started dating while they were still in school and then decided to take a break.  Everyone refers to that phase of their relationship as “Brenna Part 1”.  The most amazing thing was hearing the toasts and the conversations from friends about how they KNEW their relationship wasn’t going to end then. It was almost as if there was an army of friends praying and willing these two to date again! Everyone saw how amazing they were together and thankfully, they eventually realized that too!!

Brendan and Jenna were married this past Saturday in Downtown Ashland and their day couldn’t have been more perfect. It was filled with so much joy and everyone that was there was so SO excited to see these two tie the knot! The weather didn’t even feel like August and the only unplanned thing about the day was the train that rolled past right as a friend was reading scripture! :)  It was an awesome day to celebrate with friends! Michael was in the bridal party with is always fun! So make sure to spot him in some of the pictures!! Enjoy this quaint summer wedding and congrats to the newlyweds!!!!! Woohoo!!!! We love you guys so so much and are so excited for you!!!
