Jennifer & Kelvi in Ponte Vedra, Fl

Jennifer played very hard to get when she first met Kelvi -- she must have turned down his request to dance at least 10 times! Jennifer wasn’t looking to meet anyone, but Kelvi was persistent and eventually convinced her to swap numbers at the end of the night. “We were inseparable from that point on,” laughs Jennifer. Five months into their relationship, Kelvi received orders to move to Florida and asked Jennifer to go with him. She did, and four months later, he proposed on her birthday on a bridge over a koi pond at the Jacksonville Zoo. Some friends were there to cheer them on -- as well as a handful of random zoo-goers. The Bride Jennifer Clark, 27, a guest services and event planner The Groom Kelvi Bonano, 22, a rescue swimmer in the U.S. Navy The Date June 20 Faced with a deadline (the couple thought they were going to have to move again), they planned their wedding in less than two and a half months. Jennifer, who thankfully has experience in wedding planning, and her stellar bridesmaids pulled it all together for a natural affair decked out in greens, browns, yellows, and creams.
