Jenna & Chris Bartoli made an impromptu visit to their high school on their big day and took photos in the classroom where they met. Take a cue from this NJ couple and do something spontaneous on your big day!
“We met in high school in driver’s ed class,” says Jenna. “The teacher sat us in alphabetical order; my last name was Bores, his last name is Bartoli. We then became part of the same friend group. After college, we decided to give our flirty friendship a try at a real relationship. Turns out our match was right under our nose!”
On their wedding day—Friday, January 28, 2022—the couple had time to kill between their church ceremony and reception at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury. It had begun to lightly snow and one of Jenna’s bridesmaids suggested driving one mile up the road to their alma mater, Allentown High School, to take pictures outside.
“The school ended up letting us in,” says Jenna. “The faculty was so sweet and let us go to the classroom where we met. We sat in the exact same seats and were able to take pictures and videos with our photographer. Previous teachers stopped in to say, ‘hi.’ It was so spontaneous and beautiful. We even went to our old lockers. It’s funny because we were never a ‘high school sweetheart’ couple, but we got to feel like we were in those moments.”
