Kerri & Rey
June 11, 2021
The Proposal
Kerri D'Emilio and Rey Jimenez met at a high school house party over a game of flip cup. On a future Thanksgiving together, what started out as Rey offering a prayer to bless the food turned into a long speech giving thanks for each person at the table, culminating in a proposal to Kerri.
The Big Day
Kerri and Rey planned a moody, farm-chic wedding surrounded by open fields and nature, aiming for inviting, fun and not overly orchestrated, staying in a nearby hotel to give their weekend the feel of a destination wedding. Kerri tackled the seating chart, mirrored welcome sign and invites with a Cricut, staining the paper herself and adding a wax seal. What was supposed to be a backyard barbecue vibe complete with pulled pork, ribs and brisket was drenched beyond recognition by torrential rain, but while the weather put a damper on the day, dramatic photos made for a beautiful silver lining.
