Jessica, a speech-language pathologist, 26, and Keith, an investment associate, 30, had a wedding inspired by art deco and old Hollywood glamour. "We are old souls so it felt right to celebrate accordingly," says Jessica. The couple chose black, white and silver as their wedding colors to complement the theme. Their wedding party was dressed in classic black tuxedos and evening dresses. The groomsmen's cummerbunds and bow ties were silver to match the wedding color.  Following a traditional church ceremony at the St. Leo Catholic Church in Bonita Springs, Florida, Jessica and Keith drove off in a cream Jaguar X. K. 140 convertible. The ceremony and reception were decorated with all-white flower arrangements of calla lilies, roses and hydrangeas. "The flowers chosen were calla lilies to honor my mother who also had those flowers on her wedding day," says Jessica. At the reception, guests were met with an art deco inspired seating chart. Each table was set with black tablecloths, silver chiavari chairs, silver chargers and one of three white flower arrangements. Jessica and Keith had a sit-down dinner, live entertainment from the Brett Foreman Band and an 11 p.m. pizza delivery for their guests.

The couple were married at the St. Leo Catholic Church in Bonita Springs, Florida, where Jessica's family is part of the parish.
