Upon first glance, you might think Jessica and Marti’s wedding is unique since they are a gay couple but once you see the pictures, you’ll see that they are not all that different from the other couples we feature. Every wedding is special because of the two people getting married; Jessica and Marti obviously have love for each other, they planned their wedding thoughtfully, they look all dolled-up and they are starting a beautiful future together…isn’t love wonderful?
One thing that stood out to me when I saw the couple’s portraits was how Marti looks at Jessica with complete adoration…so sweet
The couple tells us a little bit about their ceremony: The church had these amazing floor to ceiling windows that provided amazing light and the beautiful desert as a back drop. the ceremony was conducted by our dear friends, who were also a gay couple.
Isn’t this church gorgeous? It seems like the perfect place for a wedding.
Jessica and Marti each had a bouquet- I love how one is brighter than than the other but they use some of the same flowers to unite the look
Jessica and Marti tell us about their reception, which sounds like quite the feast! The reception began a cocktail hour with a raw bar, passed appetizers, and an anti-pasta station. We did our first dance to everything but the girl’s version of “Tougher than the Rest”, right after our entrance. Both of our fathers gave speeches. We then had a plated dinner in the art gallery. For desert we moved into another room with the Shine Coffee airstream truck for people to get coffee and espresso drinks made to order and a doughnut station where people could dress up their doughnuts. We then danced the rest of the night with our friends and family. Because food was such a huge focus of our wedding, our guestbook was a cookbook for people to sign. As party favors, we gave our guests card with our favorite recipes and some recipes of the food served that night.
As a coffee lover, I totally LOVE the idea of the Shine Coffee airstream truck- besides the fact that they serve coffee, it’s really cool looking!
Congratulations Jessica and Marti and thank you for sharing your day with us!
