Whether you want to let people know this is my best man, my sister, my brother, my partner in crime, whatever, there are a bazillion places to get customary temporary tattoos.

You may now kiss each other

Every once in a while, a couple comes up with a wedding alternative I’ve just never thought of before. Lo and behold, Dagny and Charlie came up with this super simple twist to a traditional ceremony script:

“It was also important to me that our first kiss as a married couple was something that both of us entered into.
