Jenna and Zach first crossed paths as students at Bucknell University, but it took them moving to New York City to become best friends. After moving there in 2019, the duo did everything together—from running the West Side Highway to going on trips out to Montauk and Duxbury with their college crew.
Tragically, Jenna's mother was unable to make it to see her daughter tie the knot, as she was diagnosed with stage-four cancer 6 months before Jenna got engaged and sadly passed away in the process of wedding planning.
With a full weekend of events perfectly planned by Matthew Robbins Design, the couple needed to build out an extensive wedding wardrobe. So Jenna and Zach worked with stylist Liat Baruch to curate their attire. The stars aligned on the wedding day to create a day full of surprise, love, and joy. While the couple knew that the bells of La Cervara would ring on the hour during the ceremony, something unexpected happened. "During our vows when I mentioned my mom's name at precisely 7:03 p.m., the bells rang again," says Jenna. "It was surreal."
