Read MoreSarah-Jean and Kent have always been unconventional in their views including how they felt about big weddings. This of course translated into their own wedding where they decided to have a small, intimate ceremony at the courthouse surrounded by their family. Even though the wedding was a small affair, there was still thought behind the details such as the bride’s dress sewn by her mother, the handmade paper bouquet & cupcakes for dessert. Despite several things going absolutely wrong on the wedding day (all day rain, bride’s hair falling flat & walking around a parking garage looking for a misplaced car) everything came together and the celebration of their love was just so right.
Read MoreWhen Dan and Cecilia sat down to plan their wedding, they had a very clear vision of what they did NOT want it to be. When they thought about what they wanted it to be like, they kept coming back to the epic Halloween parties they throw every year. They thought, Why not make our wedding celebration just like one of our amazing Halloween parties? So they did. They moved their ceremony to the day before the party, at the courthouse, with their close family and friends, and then focused the rest of their energy and resources into their epic party- which included lots of awesome halloween decorations like a Dia De Los Muertos paper mache thing to put greetings into, and a skeleton welcoming everyone out front. Some guests even brought them carved pumpkins!
