A timeless palette of black and white with touches of greenery.

Classic black-tie elegance with modern touches, set against the historic beauty of Boston. The evening combined grand architecture, candlelight, and custom lighting to create a warm, intimate atmosphere.

On the anniversary of their first date, Eddy surprised Jenny with a Nantucket getaway — one of their favorite destinations. After dinner at Galley Beach, he proposed surrounded by family and friends who had traveled in to celebrate for the weekend.

Jenny wore a stunning gown from Flair Boston — timeless, elegant, and perfectly suited for the grand ceremony. Later, she surprised guests with a chic second look: a sparkling, modern gown that set the tone for the celebration.

Jenny’s bridesmaids wore sleek black gowns, echoing the formal and timeless black-tie aesthetic.

The groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos, perfectly complementing the sophisticated city celebration.

Guests enjoyed an elevated, synchronized dining experience curated by The Catered Affair, paired with signature cocktails.

The reception design centered on white florals with lush greenery, candlelight, and custom lighting that transformed the Boston Public Library into a romantic, glowing setting.

A multi-tiered cake by The Catered Affair reflected the elegant simplicity of the evening.

The couple exchanged vows at St. Ignatius on the Boston College campus, with a Mass performed by Eddy’s former football chaplain — a deeply personal touch that tied back to their shared alma mater.

An electric violinist filled the library with music during dinner, creating an unforgettable energy.

Eddy’s best man was his best friend and former teammate, Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon.

Jenny’s outfit change — from a timeless ceremony gown to a sparkling second look — brought a burst of modern glamour to the black-tie evening.
