In Jeana and Jaime’s words…:
Upon getting engaged, we decided to host a wedding with a non-traditional twist that was expression of us. We chose the backyard of Jaime’s parents in Tahoe, surrounded by family, friends and nature with the comforts of home – keep it local and family friendly. Every part of our wedding was significant to ‘Jeana + Jaime’. The appetizers were all created for us utilizing 21st Amendment Beer, the bar where we met. On our first date we ate at a restaurant that had wild boar on the menu. We both fondly remember with delight the date and the meal! For our main wedding course we knew a very special pork meal of a whole roasted pig was just the ticket! We even had a custom wedding ice cream made from a local San Francisco ice cream shop.
The ceremony was very personalized, as Jeana and Jaime had each of their siblings welcome each other into the family. Jeana’s family is big on Christmas and everyone in the family has their own personal stocking. To welcome Jaime and [his daughter] Kaia, Jeana’s aunt handmade a stocking each for Jaime and Kaia.
We were married on Jeana’s birthday. We kept it special and Jeana was officially the Birthday Bride. We also celebrated Kaia’s birthday, as it’s 2 days after Jeana’s. We served birthday cupcakes that were signatures of both Jeana and Kaia, pumpkin and red velvet.
To make our wedding truly unique, we opted to have a band. But not just any band, one that was special to Jeana + Jaime… Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real. It was a full-on concert that was a true treat to all in attendance. Every guest got to take home a CD and Lukas even signed them.
To add a tech twist to the wedding, Jaime created QR Codes; we attached them throughout the wedding location to give a little story and meaning behind Jeana + Jaime.
We created custom and hand painted signs we used during the wedding to direct guests. We had fun creating them, as we had each of our family members put their own signature and twist to them.
