Jen and Conrad met in 1998 when Jen left San Diego to attend UC Riverside. They would see each other around town and sometimes hang out, but the sparks didn’t fly until one night when he picked her up in his 1991 Nissan Sentra for a Moby concert. When he proposed, he took her on a hike to see the view in CO after a day of snowboarding and skiing. He popped the question, she said YES, and the rest is history!
It was a beautiful day on the coast in May. Jen along with her Mom, sister and closest girlfriends prepared for Jen’s wedding at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar. She had Jimmy Choo shoes and a lot of sparkling accessories on hand because even a beach wedding deserves a little glam!
The dress!! Perfect for an elegant beach wedding.
First kiss as Mr. + Mrs. to celebrate 16 years together!
The very HAPPY couple!! These two are so much fun, I know their home will be full of laughter. The chandelier was swoon worthy!!
Jen paid attention to every detail and it all came together perfectly.
After the ceremony we took a little walk….
They laughed, they kissed and I snapped photos of their first moments as husband and wife.
Conrad still owns the Nissan Sentra (from that first date) and Jen had one of the cakes custom made to resemble it. He was very surprised!!
The other cake had bride and groom dachshund dogs as cake toppers. The toppers were made by a family friend to resemble their own fur baby Bonnie! The wedding cake was made by Kona Kakes for Conrad and Jen. The two have been going to Kona Kakes for the past 13 years and having them make their wedding cake was always the plan.
They ended the night on the dance floor, even the bride and groom’s mothers got in on the action!! It was a great celebration of 16 years of love! Wishing you two another 16+ years of love!
