Sometimes it pays off being a sleuth...
I can't believe someone hasn't found this yet. On this blog from a knife maker's wife, there's all the info we could want about Jared and Genevieve's wedding. Seems she's a close friend of Genevieve's. Every groomsman got a knife, specially made for them, by her husband. A rather odd, but nice gift, I'd say.
Anyway. There are several photos. Of both the bride and groom and the groom and groomsman.
There's also this description of the wedding (with lots of love for all three of them (it seems Danneel wasn't there, I think).
This Idaho wedding was a complete winter motif. From the "save the date" postcard of a couple sledding down a snowy mountain, to the letter press invitations, ski lift tickets were our place cards, and table assignments named after Sun Valley ski runs. Yes, at the lodge there was a moose head over the fireplace. We were asked to sit in a heated clear enclosure that faced the snowy landscape. The groomsmen filed in, and the groom followed and turned to see where his bride was.
As Gen came around the corner I was watching Jared's face. He had tears in his eyes. When their eyes met they both began to cry. At that moment it was clear what all the songs are written about. There wasn't a person in the room who couldn't feel their love for each other. I cried through the entire ceremony. I cried on and off all evening. Because I was so happy for Gen. She didn't "settle", she picked. There's a big difference. I am so glad to be included and to witness their marriage. Jared is an amazing man, and they are so good together.
The evening flew by. Below are photos of dancing. The band even played a Black Eyed Peas song that Bob and I danced to: "I got a feeling." Bob and Claudia danced. One of the last songs the band played was Amy Winehouse's "I don't want to go to rehab!" Pretty funny, and we had a blast. [...]
Our time was too short together. I wanted to talk to everyone more. I am told they are coming through town this spring. I can't wait. Jared had to go back to finish shooting the rest of his TV show.
About 6 weeks before the wedding Bob and I were in bed, and I got a text. It was Gen and Jared asking if Bob could make knives for his groomsman gifts.
At dinner Jared went from Groomsman to Groomsman delivering the knives. Jensen was at our table. Before he received his, another Groomsman came to the table to show him his knife. Jensen oohed and aahed, and when the man walked away Jensen hung his head: "I wish I got a knife" he murmured into his plate. Moments later Jared came to our table and gave Jensen his knife. The expression on his face and Bob's face watching Jensen get his gift made my evening. Bob rarely gets to see someone get a knife he has made as a gift. As the evening went on-Bob, Jensen and the other crew guests at our table had some pretty colorful conversation. Bob was so pleased that the guys were so pleased.
Bob and I have been so impressed by Gen & Jared's stellar behavior as actors in real life. Believe me, I have seen plenty of actors behaving badly. These 3 young adults are what the movie biz calls: "Number 1 on the call sheet." Meaning, they are the stars of the TV shows they are on. Now Jensen was added to our pedestal with Gen and Jared. The time was brief that night at dinner. We felt proud to know these people and call them our friends. These 3 restore old folks faith in the human race. Bob felt honored to make the knives for this occasion. Bob made a 9th knife: "just in case." Well, as you can imagine the first ones came out perfect. I bet you will see him carrying #9!
Below is the reason for all this. "G & J" we ♡♡♡ you.
Each Knife had the Groomsman's initials on the blade.
Wow. That's more than I ever expected to know about that. Seems they're really happy, though. So yay for that.
