Woman Thinks It's Date Night, Then Finds Out It's Her Wedding
July 18, 2017
“I really just thought we would go visit the justice of the peace with a couple of friends and do it at the courthouse,” said Jenn.But Lorenzo didn't think that was good enough. And that's when he came up with the idea for “Operation Get Hitched.”
Operation Get Hitched In Action
Lorenzo enlisted the help of their best friends and neighbors, Allie and Ryan. He took Jenn out under the guise of a fancy date night. But really, the plan all along was to surprise her with her very own wedding!

The ruse worked perfectly. With her future courthouse wedding in mind, Jenn wound up buying a lovely, white dress. Next, Lorenzo took Jenn out for dinner, where he got down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage.

Which brought Lorenzo to the next part of his plan. [/slide]
Date Night Turned Wedding

With dinner complete, Lorenzo acted as though he'd accidentally left the event tickets at Allie and Ryan's house. Jenn didn't think much of it until they arrived at their neighbor's house. As they came up the stairs, Jenn noticed twinkle lights. Next, Allie handed Jenn a bouquet and then she spotted a photographer.

Is this really happening?!” she said.
Wedding Bliss
There, before 20 of their closest friends, the couple said their vows and became man and wife.

While everyone who knew the groom's secret plans hoped for the best, Lorenzo wasn't the only one a bit nervous about the outcome.“My initial reaction when he told what he was going to do was, ‘Oh, boy’ but I was optimistic,” the photographer said. “That night, they both looked happy and ready to marry each other. Jenn is just full of fun and spontaneity so it was perfect.”RELATED: Bride Has A Special Surprise When Granny Got Sick On Her Wedding Day And Jenn agrees.
"For me, it was the most perfect thing. Every ounce of it was perfect," she said. "He [Lorenzo] likes to make memories," she said. "He definitely made a good one this time."Planning a date night turned wedding is certainly some pretty risky business. But “Operation Get Hitched” was a huge success!
