Summer Jensen holds belated wedding reception
The glasses
Summer Jensen and
Paulo Fagundez used to drink the toast at their wedding reception at the Halekulani Saturday were the same glasses that her parents,

Gabriella, recently qualified for Sweden's Olympic team. An older sister is
Christina Kjellander. Summer is a designer with Dodd Mitchell Design in L.A. and used to be a dancer here in the
