Gold crowns, purple hair, and tears galore at this Oregon schoolhouse wedding

HK and Josh planned a small ceremony at one of their favorite places, Historic Soap Creek Schoolhouse followed by a reception at LUC restaurant.

You’re definitely going to want to see the gold crown + purple hair, the tearful first look, the tearful ceremony entrance, and well tears all around all the time.
