BRIDE AND GROOM Jenna Oldroyd and Brady Jardine BRIDE’S HOMETOWN Orem GROOM’S HOMETOWN Twin Falls, Idaho BRIDE’S OCCUPATION Secretary at Central Valley Machine/student at USU GROOM’S OCCUPATION USU basketball player/student WEDDING LOCATION Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple HOW YOU MET We met after a Utah State University volleyball game. I was a volleyball player, and he was the new basketball player on campus. He approached me, but I didn’t think much of it because of his “dating machine” reputation — and, of course, the blond hair. I soon realized he wasn’t the Casanova I’d blackmarked him as — and I even love the blond hair. FIRST KISS We were in his apartment watching “The Count of Monte Cristo.” Two seconds into the movie, he kissed me and said, “I’ve waited long enough, right?” Our friends came in right after so we got to watch the rest of the movie. FIRST DANCE Our first dance as a married couple was one of my favorite parts of the night. I danced with my father, who then let Brady cut in; it was a sweet moment I will always remember. WEDDING THEME Bucolic, fall, rustic WEDDING COLORS Olive green, eggplant with accents of rust-red and mustard yellow SIGNATURE DETAIL Getting married in the fall was something I always hoped would happen. I was so excited about an October wedding that in addition to the fall colors everywhere, I had little pumpkins and artichokes on the tables and in the flower bouquets. SOMETHING YOU DID AND LOVED I decided early on the most important things to me were to have a great video and great pictures. I went with my favorite photographer and videographer — regardless of the price — and I was extremely happy with the results. UNEXPECTED MOMENT Before we were married, the fire alarm went off at the temple and stopped things for about 10 minutes. It was just an accident and something fun to remember.
