Woodstock Wedding

This past weekend, I attended an incredible wedding ceremony. The couple didn't stress about planning it or having everything "perfect"; they just did what they liked, everyone had a blast, and the wedding really reflected their values and personalities. For example, instead of a diamond engagement ring (for social justice reasons), they got an emerald ring that was both of their birth stones. Instead of having a cake cutting ceremony, they had a cake-shaped pinata, and members of the wedding party took turns hitting it. And the after party, instead of dancing, they set up lawn games in the backyard and had lots of frisbees flying around, competitive basketball arcade games, and even corn-hole. They were big kids at heart, excited to start their lives together, and it was so clear to all of the guests.

The couple said that the pre-party was "casual", so we dressed up in tuxedo shirts, black for the guys, and white for the girls.


Barn-wedding. It started raining as soon as the ceremony begun, but the ceremony went on as normal. In the middle, as they sstarted to exchange their vows, the weather suddenly cleared up and there was a moment of sunlight, it was as if God was giving tthem the green light, and it was so cool!
