Jacqueline & Louis’ rockin’ country manor barbecue wedding

A purple dress, piercings, tats, and an old country manor. Nothing wrong with that combination. This couple somehow found a way to combine Led Zeppelin and a super traditional venue into a fab day for all. Even the gate-crashing kitteh agrees.
