The Wedding of Tess + David: A Day To Remember

 Each week, we shine a spotlight on beautiful weddings across Delaware—celebrating the incredible local vendors who make magic happen and the amazing couples who allow us to share their love stories. And when a celebration really sweeps us off our feet, we can’t help but shout it from the rooftops! Meet our June Vows That Wow couple: the wonderful Tess & David Hennemann. 

 

How The Couple Met

Tess and David’s love story began in an unlikely but very 2020 kind of way – on the dating app, Hinge. It was September of that year, a time when opportunities to meet new people in person were few nd far between due to the pandemic. Despite the challenge of the world around them, their connection quickly stood out, marking the start of something special. 

 

The Wedding Day

Venue: Brantwyn Estate at DuPont Country Club 

This venue has a timeless elegance and historic charm. Nestled on a beautifully manicured estate in Wilmington, Delaware, Brantwyn offers a romantic, garden-style setting that feels both intimate and grand. From its sweeping staircase and classic architecture to its lush gardens and serene terrace, it’s the perfect blend of sophistication and storybook beauty—ideal for couples dreaming of a refined and unforgettable wedding day.

 

Planner: A Sweet Affair Events

Katina Dawson ensured every detail of the day went off without a hitch! From timeline management to seamless coordination, her team was the calm, organized presence every couple dreams of. Their thoughtful planning and hands-on support allowed the couple to fully relax and soak in every joyful moment—exactly how a wedding day should be!

 

Tess & David’s Favorite Wedding Day Memory

When asked about her favorite wedding day moment, the bride shared how unforgettable it was to experience their first look—a quiet, emotional moment just for the two of them before the celebration began. She also cherished dancing the night away surrounded by their closest family and friends, creating joyful memories that will last a lifetime.

 

A Perfect Ending to a Perfect Day

Tess and David’s wedding was a beautiful blend of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments—from their heartfelt first look to the dance floor filled with joy and celebration. With the stunning Brantwyn Estate as their backdrop and the expert guidance of A Sweet Affair Events, their day was nothing short of magical. We’re so honored to feature their story as our June Vows That Wow—a true testament to love that blossoms even in the most unexpected of times. 

Cheers to the Hennemanns’ and the beginning of their forever!
