The first two blogs in this series were focused on the details of this grand event, now it’s time to introduce the couple! How does a sweet Michigan girl meet a sun-drenched boy from Laguna Beach? It is an unlikely meeting, but a perfect one. Jody and Pierre met several years ago while enrolled in the MBA program at USC and have been a wonderful couple ever since. Pierre looks so slick, but is definitely a comedian. Jody can usually be found giggling in the background! They are so cute together and their scores of friends give them nothing but encouragement all day.

The bridal suite at Pelican Hill is big, comfortable, cozy and lots of mirrors create lots of angles for photographers . . .

Jody is wearing an awesome dress from designer Liancarlo . . .

You just can’t beat the dramatic views at the Pelican Hill wedding rotunda! And it was a perfect day, not too hot with clear blue skies.


A little mood music please . . .

Catholic ceremony outside!! So beautiful!! Pierre and Jody share communion . . .



Pierre and Jody prepared their coreographed dance so well. The entire ballroom erupted with applause as they did their first dance . . .

Way to go Pierre! Success!!
