The couple tied the knot in a ceremony at the American Church in Paris. Afterwards, they took off in a 1960s Rolls-Royce, while guests enjoyed a private bus tour of the city before heading to the Four Seasons Hotel George V for a lavish reception.
The bride and groom cherished the opportunity to take photos together at historic sites and monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, the gardens at Notre Dame and along the Seine River.
“I’ll always remember riding to the church with my father. We were smiling ear-to-ear the whole time," recalls Jennie. “After the ceremony, we came together with our families in a ‘family huddle.’ It was wonderful to hold our newly molded family together while the feeling of ‘we did it’ was in the air!”
The couple worked closely with Maureen Hall at Maureen H. Hall Stationery and Invitations to custom-design their William Arthur invitations. They chose thick cardstock with hand-painted gold edges featuring blue and gold engraving, and a silk blue bow. A matching envelope liner added flair. Lastly, each envelope was hand-addressed in beautiful calligraphy.
