Jocelyn came into our Long Beach bridal store store in October of last year, and we have to say she has been a joy of light since she walked through our door. She has a very energetic spirit and has a great sense of humor. She showed up in her scrubs ready to try on dresses. She wanted something unique and amazing. We were going to do just that for her and we did. She was so excited that we found the perfect dress for her and we were happy to make her dreams come true.
We were even more excited to when she let us see her beautiful engagement photos with her handsome fiance Tony taken at beautiful Pathfinder Ranch in Mountain Center,CA ! Her cousin Jerome Samonte was the amazing photograher on their shoot and to think it was just by luck that he was available. We thought they were so great we wanted to share them and their story with you as well. Check out his website for more of his work.
These two met while in Las Vegas. Jocelyn was with her girls for a Chippendale’s bachelorette party and to hit the night club after, and Tony was with his guys for fight night but also ended up at the night club. Their meeting was meant to be, right?!! A big group of girls and a big group of guys dominating the dance floor in a Vegas night club and somehow these two bumped into each other. She said, “My best friend/Matron of honor Marjorie was dancing crazy and she bumps into me and I bump into Tony. He had his back turned to me while taking a picture of his group, I quickly apologized, we introduced ourselves, made conversation, exchanged numbers and it was all history from there!”
“At the time we both weren’t looking for anything, but the best things come when you least expect it!” Joceyln and Tony are what you call the definition of a teamwork couple. They have have supported each other in their relationship and through their amazing weight loss together. They’ve lossed over 80 lbs combined and its been an amazing transformation for the both of them. Definitely shows it takes a lot of love an support for one another to get over your most intense challenges.
Their wedding will take place on May 1, 2016, which will be their 6th year anniversary. They will be wed at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, and their reception will be at Vertigo in Glendale, CA. Inspired by an “Old Hollywood style with a music theme,” there will be color accents of blush,black, rose golds and white. A very chic and classic look is what she has envisioned for their big day.
Jocelyn came in to try on her dress when it arrived at the salon and she brought all the important family members with her. We’re pretty sure her Dad was there with her too in spirit and crazy enough it was also her Dad’s birthday and the original date that had set for the wedding. Before her dress was even zipped, she had tears of joy in her eyes. She walked through the curtains looking as amazing as can be in her dress and her family also were amazed in tears by how beautiful she looked.
Tony and Jocelyn have been together for 5 years and we can see by the look of things that their love will last forever. We are so excited that you guys have let us be apart of your wedding journey and we can’t wait to see you in your beautiful gown on your big day!!! We love that you have become a Strut bride.
