Andrew & Jennelle met at the Quarterway Pub in Nanaimo, B.C. Jennelle was with her twin sister, Hannah, and her mom, when Andrew came over to their table and offered to buy her a drink. As the Officiant explains during their ceremony, "she did something Andrew says she is very good at - she rolled her eyes, and then said no."   After initially postponing their big wedding plans due to the pandemic, Jennelle & Andrew decided they didn't want to wait any longer to get married. This was a special wedding for us as Andrew is one of Jesse’s best friends, and he had the honour of standing up beside him as a groomsman. Andrew is one of the funniest people we know, so we were not at all surprised that he added a few jokes into his vows, and we knew we wanted to open their film with one. It’s possibly our fave intro ever 😂   Jennelle’s twin sister, Hannah, also gave the most incredible, heartwarming speech at their reception, and there was not a dry eye in the room (or while editing this). We were so happy to not only enjoy this wedding day as guests, but to be the ones to tell our friends’ love story ❤️
