Our Story

Swipe Right 101

John and Vanessa met on the dating app Bumble in September of 2020. Vanessa swiped right on John's picture and *BOOM* a "YOU MATCHED" message popped up. This meant that John had also swiped right on Vanessa's photo. Vanessa had 24 hours to send John a message before her ability to do so expired. (Men are not allowed to initiate the conversation on the Bumble app.) Their destiny lied in the hands of Vanessa. Dun-Dunnnn-Dunnnnnn So what did Vanessa say that grabbed the attention of Mr. John P. Edwards? It went a lil' something like this: Vanessa: "Have you ever bungee jumped?" John: "No, but I always wanted to. Let's do it!" They exchanged phone numbers and two weeks later, they jumped off a bridge and now they will be jumping over the broom. (See Bumble photos below)

Wedding Colors

Blue: To match Vanessa’s sapphire ring and John’s blue eyes! Sapphires have been used to protect against negative energies, calm the mind, strengthen intuition, and invite spiritual clarity. Burgundy: The Mother of the Bride, Lupe, is a Brain Aneurysm Survivor, and burgundy is the Brain Aneurysm awareness color. Lupe is a warrior! Fun Fact: Lupe's rupture occurred on the evening of July 13, 2015. That day Vanessa made a promise to God that she was going to change the course of her life. She enrolled back into college while waiting in the hospital lobby. Seven years later, Lupe has fully recovered at 100%, and Vanessa is close to completing her grad school program soon. The best part of this fun fact... Jurni May Edward's due date is July 13, 2023. God shows he's listening in mysterious ways! Blush/pink: The Mother of the Groom is a Breast Cancer survivor, and blush/pink is the Breast Cancer awareness color. Colleen is a fighter! Guests: please wear shades of blue 💙
