Joelle and Lenard’s wedding was a vivid reflection of their fun-loving personalities, featuring unique touches that made the day distinctly theirs. The highlight? Their dog, Sago, not just attending but starring as Joelle’s “bouquet.” As Joelle put it, “It was so important to have our dog at the wedding that we only looked at pet-friendly venues! She ended up walking down the aisle with me, dressed in a bee costume, which was a spur-of-the-moment decision that added such a fun, personal twist.”

Lenard’s love for Pokémon took center stage in his attire, with his barong tastefully embroidered with Pokémon characters, showcasing his playful side. The ceremony and reception were filled with personalized details—from a ring warming ceremony to tequila shots as part of their unity ceremony, each chosen to reflect their unique story and shared experiences. The reception kept the fun going with Bumble-themed décor (where they met) and a menu featuring their favorite casual eats like Potato Corner and pizza, ensuring the celebration was as lively and engaging as the couple themselves.

The couple’s approach to wedding planning was all about expressing their personalities and ensuring their guests had a blast. As Joelle described, “Planning our wedding was a creative adventure. We wanted every detail to scream ‘us,’ and it did. We even cut our cake to the tune of our favorite songs!” Their wedding wasn’t just a day to remember, but it was a perfect snapshot of their life together, too, filled with laughter, love, and lots of fun.
