In a delightful twist of wedding tradition, a new mom made headlines when she breastfed her baby during her own nuptials. While most brides are busy focusing on their vows, Anna Jensen found herself responding to the familiar cries of her nine-month-old daughter, Lily, in a moment that many breastfeeding mothers can relate to.
As Anna was exchanging vows with her husband, Mark, the sweet sound of a hungry baby interrupted the proceedings. With a knowing glance at her husband, Anna said, “Looks like it’s feeding time,” and without missing a beat, she scooped up Lily and began nursing her right there among friends and family.
Photographer Mia Thompson, who captured the moment, shared, “This was the first bride I’ve photographed who nursed during the ceremony, and I was thrilled. When it came time for bridal portraits, Lily was hungry and it was a hot day—perfect nursing weather! Anna was so joyful about it; it was clear she was in her element.”
Once Lily’s cries echoed through the venue, Anna’s mother swiftly handed her the baby. “Everyone just smiled,” Mia recounted. “Even the officiant was unfazed. Anna has always been open about breastfeeding, so no one was shocked.”
The image of this candid moment quickly gained traction online after Anna shared it on the Facebook page “Breastfeeding Heroes.” The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the naturalness and beauty of the act. “I’m just soaking in all the love and support,” Anna told the press. “Nursing in public took some getting used to, but now I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
For moms who have experienced the challenge of a baby refusing a bottle, Anna’s choice to breastfeed during her wedding was not only practical but also a treasured memory. After all, it’s those unexpected moments that often become the most cherished.
Congratulations to Anna, Mark, and little Lily!
