Congratulations to Jonna + Kimberly!

After entering the Mervis Diamond Importers Pop-Up Wedding Contest, these ladies didn't really give it much thought. They had never won anything like that before and assumed that this time would be the same. 

Until they won the competition

Let us back up a little bit. Mervis Diamond Importers, a family-owned business, decided to celebrate seven years of marriage equality by hosting a pop-up wedding at their store on K Street in Washington, DC. In celebration of seven years of same-sex marriage being legal in Washington, D.C., Mervis Diamond Importers has offered one lucky couple a pop up wedding.

Mervis pulled together an enthusiastic group of the top equality-minded wedding professionals in the DMV and said, "Let's do this!" The contest began in March, and Jonna Kate and Kimberly Sullivan found out that they'd won the contest just one week before the big day.

So, this sweet couple rushed down from Pennsylvania to get married in DC without really knowing what was waiting for them. What they found was crazy - crazy awesome

We were asked by Jonathan Mervis to be a part of this special event

We've worked with Mervis Diamond Importers many times and we just love them! Their jewelry is gorgeous, cruelty-free, and they are just the nicest people. 

We were honored and obviously said yes, even though we didn't really know the details of the day. We had no idea how elaborate and beautiful the celebration would be and we couldn't have been more pleased to see so many talented like-minded vendors when we arrived!

We headed to meet Kimberly and Jonna as TMAK Artistry put the final touches of makeup on and got ready for their first look

We wandered through the Beacon Hotel and then to Thomas Circle to enjoy the cherry blossoms before heading to Mervis Diamond Importers to prepare for the pop-up wedding ceremony

An incredible team of vendors, Washingtonians, and people who happened to pass the pop-up wedding on their way home or to the metro came together to celebrate Kimberly and Jonna's wedding in Farragut Square

As the couple said, "I do!" cheering erupted from the crowd; hugs, dancing, and happy tears surrounded them. It was a truly beautiful moment in DC.
