Amy + Ben | Gaylord Palms Wedding in Orlando

August 21, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Admittedly this story is taken straight from Amy and Ben’s wedding website, because quite frankly, I couldn’t write it better myself!! :)

“Their story began aboard the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, where what started as an intergalactic adventure soon turned into a real-life romance. They were co-pilots in their professional world, navigating through daily tasks together to keep passengers happy. Even though they shared a mission, they couldn’t help but feel a growing connection.

One day, during some downtime at work, their conversation took a delightful turn toward adult beverages. Amy mentioned a curious drink called High Noons, sparking Ben‘s interest. Determined to find out more, Ben embarked on a quest to try them. That evening, as Ben enjoyed his newfound favorite, he couldn’t resist sharing the discovery with Amy through Facebook Messenger (noting that Ben had just recently added her on Facebook).

Their online conversations quickly grew into something deeper. Amy and Ben soon found the courage to exchange phone numbers, and more importantly, Ben asked Amy out on a date. Their first date was a movie night featuring one of Amy’s beloved classic series, Jurassic Park. The night was filled with laughter, shared excitement over dinosaurs, and a connection that felt truly special.”

Amelia and Schuyler : The Oldest House Wedding in St. Augustine, FL Part I

December 3, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

My littler sister was a bride. My little sister is a wife!

It seems unfathomable, mainly because this is how I will remember her forever and ever. It’s how I remember all 3 of us, actually. I was going to post an embarrassing childhood photo of her to open this blog post but decided since she IS a Root bride, to not be mean and single her out. Instead, I’ll throw all of us under a bus. But hey, look how skinny I was! And fanny packs came back this year, right? So nothing to be ashamed of here. Moving on! <3

Thank you to our vendor friends for taking such good care of my little sister. From being treated like royalty while finding her dress at Solution’s to Jim keeping her dance floor packed, it was such a wonderful feeling knowing she was in such good hands. :)
