A Celebration of Love, Laughter, and Personal Touches: Jenn & Manny’s Unforgettable Wedding at Jefferson Street Mansion
September 7, 2023
Some weddings capture the essence of a couple so perfectly that every detail feels like an extension of their love story. For Jenn and Manny, their wedding at the historic Jefferson Street Mansion in Benicia was a beautiful reflection of their personalities, passions, and deep connection. On September 7, 2023, they exchanged vows in a setting of timeless elegance, surrounded by family, friends, and moments that made their day truly unforgettable.
Jenn found her dream gown in the Rebecca Ingram line by Maggie Sottero, a design that quite literally found her twice. After trying on the style in one boutique but hesitating due to its color and neckline, fate led her back to the very same dress at Janene’s Bridal—this time in the perfect ivory shade with a sweetheart neckline. It was romantic, ethereal, and exactly what she had envisioned. Now, with her future in mind, she’s chosen to have her gown cleaned and preserved, keeping her options open for its next chapter.
Every aspect of Jenn and Manny’s wedding was a labor of love, carefully curated to reflect who they are. Their grand entrance at the reception was nothing short of spectacular—walking in to wrestling icon Stone Cold Steve Austin’sentrance music, complete with sparklers, a nod to their shared love for the sport. Another personal touch was their signature cocktail, named in memory of their beloved miniature pinscher who passed away in 2022. From the heartfelt first look with her bridesmaids and man of honor to the emotional moment when she delivered part of her vows in Spanish as a tribute to Manny’s family, every detail made the day profoundly meaningful.
With Elegance Preserved highly recommended by her bridal shop, Jenn knew her gown would be in expert hands, ensuring that its beauty and sentimental value are safeguarded for years to come.
