Jen and Rob met when Rob was playing in bands during the period of Jen’s life when she “used to go see a lot of death metal shows in Fayetteville.” She said this to me while wearing a beautifully layered wedding gown with a veil on. :) I literally lol’ed… just because at that point in her wedding day, I really couldn’t see Jen going to see death metal bands in Fayetteville. She’s so genuinely sweet and has a quiet speaking voice and is so nice to everyone around her that it’s hard to imagine her headbanging away. But here Jen and Rob were on their wedding day at Caffe Luna in downtown Raleigh surrounded by friends, family, and most importantly – their newborn son Rob Jr… whom they affectionately refer to as R2 and whom I affectionately refer to as RDJ (both his initials and a homage from myself to the great Robert Downey Jr.). Jen got an R2D2 groom/son cake that she surprised them with and that Geoff wanted to steal. You’ll see in addition to RDJ the plethora of adorable children who were present at this wedding, and the beautiful and wonderful bridal party that accompanied our metalhead newlyweds.
