A Jensen Wedding Day
Terrible phone photo, but good kissing! |

Sometimes I really feel for these girls. Emily lives in Tennessee, my sister Ali lives in Florida, and Sam is in Toronto. Until now, Maddie has lived in London, but at least she will be closer to one of the four amigos as she starts her new life also in Toronto. Seeing the four girls together again, and the silliness that ensues, makes me realize that they just aren't all together often enough. So being able to spend the day with them all getting ready for this wedding was a very special thing for me to experience.
I was blessed to be asked by Maddie to do her hair for the wedding, as well as a few of the bridesmaids. Being able to share this time along with an old friend Melissa, (she was on makeup duty!) was another blessing. Even though I don't have official education (YouTube tutorial student!) and limited salon experience (one month volunteering), I really enjoyed being able to execute the hair desires of these girls. (Horn toot! I think that I did a good job, because instagrams of the girls are filled with compliments on their hair! End horn toot!) It was a very relaxing morning, and the girls all looked so beautiful.

Fuzzy iPhone shot of the bride to be! (Sorry, it was the only camera I had on me!) |
After a short visit, I raced back to my parents house to put the finishing touches on the wedding cake and sped off to the ceremony to set up. Josh and I made it just in time. Unfortunately I only have cell phone pictures, since Josh was using our camera to film the ceremony.
The finished cake, made entirely by me! (Contact me at Sweet Goodness Me if you are in need of a cake!) |
The barn! |
***note: The speeches were not super boring, sorry Maddie and Brian! It's just a boy thing. You understand.
Stoked on having an Internet connection. |
Nath is definitely a talent behind the camera. My sister is also a babe. (photo credit: Nath Happer) |
Goodbye little cake. You lived a pretty sweet life. Haha.. oh puns. |
I hope that Maddie and Brian really had the chance to enjoy their wedding, and that their honeymoon in St. Lucia is just as sweet as they are! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day you two!
And here's a little amigo silliness to leave you with. Wish I could have stayed for the dancin'!
Love these beautiful girls. (photo credit: probably Nath) |
