A Rustic Summer Barn Wedding at Monclova Community Center in Monclova, Ohio
Jessica (27 and a stay-at-home mom) and Darren (32 and a refinery operator) met at a sports bar, where Jessica was cheering on her favorite team, the Detroit Tigers. When the team started losing, Jessica stepped out for some fresh air and bumped into Darren (instantly smitten because she thought he resembled the Tigers's pitcher). They got along right away and started dating regularly, and Darren even built a strong relationship with Jessica's daughter. "I knew right there that he was the one," Jessica recounts. A year later, the family-oriented couple welcomed a son together and cemented their family. Darren proposed a year after the birth of their son in front of the stadium at a Tigers playoff game. When it came to their wedding, Darren and Jessica wanted a simple rustic theme and found the perfect barn at the Monclova Community Center in Monclova, Ohio. With a color scheme of blush (to match the wedding dress), mint green, and pops of coral, Darren and Jessica kept their decor modest with accents of twine, lace, burlap, and rustic wood. Most importantly, they found ways to include their two kids in the celebration to serve as flower girl and ring bearer, and Darren even took the time to give Jessica's daughter a father-daughter dance of her very own.
