We met while Mary was working for a non-profit organization and Seth was an intern, started a prank war, and then starting secretly dating since it wasn’t allowed for interns. SCANDALOUS.

Married 13 years  //  Wedding date May 29, 2005

Drink coffee while kids play, doing some work around the house and playing outside, making dinner together and playing uno.

Mary:  Hard working, decisive, passionate, loving, caring.

Seth:  Handsome, funny, artistic, selfless, perfectionist.

Judah:  Smart, kind, outgoing, talkative, focused.

Cece:  Sweet, helpful, lil mama, artistic, inquisitive.

Jules:  THE FUNNY MAN, affectionate, loving, determined, hilarious.

Jessica:  My most memorable moment was definitely when Brandon slid across the floor to me when Pony was playing and ripped the knees out of his pants I’m one lucky girl!…….and of course all of Brandon’s words to me throughout the day.

Brandon:  My most memorable moment was tough to choose, but it had to be my first glimpse of Jessica walking out onto the isle. I never got to see her dress until that moment, and she looked amazing. This moment embodied everything I feel for her, and made me feel that without a doubt she is the love of my life!

Jessica:  Have zero regrets girls! Things will go wrong as a natural part of the day, but just focus on each other. Oh, and drink WATER!! Designate someone as your water boy/girl for the day so you don’t get dehydrated in that dress!

Brandon:  The advice I would give to grooms is to focus on your bride and your day. A lot of people will want to talk to you and of course congratulate you, but ultimately what you will remember is the time you got to enjoy with your wife and all the people closest to you. So make the most of it!

Jessica:  I had a top three list but there were way more. 1. When we couldn’t find mom’s flower corsage and it was in the bushes at the hotel. 2. When our friend cried her contacts out because I was “so” beautiful. Cards are still out whether there was alcohol involved. 3. When the bride from next door told me she wished she was at our wedding!

Brandon:  I think the funniest moment had to be when a bride from another wedding showed up and said she wished she had been at this wedding, I mean come on how often does that happen! …. As a runner up, burning a hole in my pants by sliding on my knees across cement…Hilarious at the time…much less funny the next day.

Jessica:  Absolutely not because then it wouldn’t be “ours” I loved everything and loved marrying Brandon even more.

Brandon:  If I had to change anything it would definitely be to eat at some point during the day! The dinner was the only food I had all day. Other than that the day was even more than I could have hoped for.

We took a Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise followed by a few days in Rome, Italy.

Abby: The ceremony was so special. The best moment was when our Rabbi read the reasons why we wanted to marry each other.

David: My most memorable moment was seeing Abby for the first time in her dress. It was really special to have our friends and family present to share the moment with us.

Abby: Include as many of the people you love in the planning process. The planning was so fun and I felt so lucky to share it with my family, David’s family, and our close friends.

David: Make sure that you are well rested. I was happy to be ready to have fun from the moment I woke up.
