Jina & Jesse

It’s not often that we get to work closely with the groom in planning the wedding, but along with Jina, Jesse was all hands on deck to make sure his wedding day went smoothly and perfectly!  He had so many special moments planned for his bride, of which a secret plan involving Flash Mob America was the big surprise of the night!  Jina had mentioned early on that it would be great to have a flash mob surprise their guests at the wedding, but Jesse persuaded her that it would be stressful and impossible to organize.  Jina quickly put away the idea, while behind closed doors, Jesse feverishly planned with FMA and ourselves to make Jina’s flash mob wedding dream come true.  He even had a code word for it: AUDI … just in case Jina got a whiff of anything, since Jesse loves cars… nice ones.  Which brings me to our next secret surprise mission of the night ~ a performance by the groom himself ~ code word: TESLA.  Now, how awesome would it have been if Jina had something up her sleeve all along and surprised Jesse!  But things like that only happen in the movies… or on Friends!!  In any case, Jina’s reactions were well worth all the secrecy!

Ally & Evan

These two have an energy and sense of humor that make hanging out with them so entertaining!  How so?  Well..

Since Ally & Evan grew up in LA during the 1990s, they decided the best way to make their Grand Entrance was to introduce themselves… each holding their own mics, they strutted in rapping the lyrics to “Gangsta’s Paradise.”  Naturally, their guests went WILD, and this set the tone for the rest of the night!

Ally and the girls surprised Evan with a cute performance, complete with cute matching outfits, and her own “I ❤ Evan” top.  If his raised arms and the flying money weren’t enough of an indication, Evan LOVED every second of it!  Especially the tequila love-shot they took together at the end.
