Jeanz & Rich’s seaside New England jazz brunch wedding

Get ready to see some lovely seaside photos, a little jazz band who traveled all the way from Chicago to Maine, a bunch of groomsmen who look like they stepped out of a shmancy catalog, and amazing hats everywhere (including matching on the wedding party!), but the real story here is the bride’s most gorgeous pant suit! She rocks it like nobody has. And this couple’s funniest moment did get a very out-loud laugh from us. Let’s just say it has to do with getting stuck… and an OBGYN.
