Janell and Pawan:: backyard Edina wedding

“Hey there, what’s next on your travel bucket list?” Pawan asked Jenell as his opening line when the two connected online.

Faroe Islands was Janell’s response and the two began a conversation about it on their first date. Never in a million years, would Jenell envision that when that trip finally did come for the two of them, Pawan would end the entire trip on the top of a mountain with a ring in his hand asking Jenell to be his wife.

The adventuring partners moved forward in planning their 2020 wedding, but everything came to a screeching halt when Covid hit. With Pawan’s family in India and Jenell’s father terminally ill, the couple made the hard decision to move forward with their plans and get married in their backyard on a beautiful August day. Surrounded by the family that could make it and a few friends, Jenell and Pawan were wed. Family from India watched via Zoom and the incredible intimacy of the day created memories to last a lifetime.

Jenell’s stunning dress from Che Bella was perfect for the backyard wedding. Paired with the beautiful florals from Ink and Ivy Designs, the colors popped against the August greens. Pawan’s gray suit from Milbern Clothing Company was a perfect touch of sophistication and elegance. The intimacy and love that Jenell and Pawan exuded was apparent to all who witnessed them get married. It was a joy and honor to be a part of their incredible day. Congratulations!
