Stephanie & Joyce’s Rat Pack meets modern soiree wedding

This pair traverses a limited guest list, interfaith considerations, and late-night loud music ordinances. But you’d never be able to tell that there were any hurdles by everyone’s faces. Though they ran into some rough patches with major wind and some staff turnover at their venue, their positive attitudes are models for peaceful planning!

Caitlin & Kaitlyn’s secret garden lesbian wedding

This is one of those weddings where some family drama has a silver lining and a a happy alternative ending. It also has lots of geektastic references to Doctor Who and Tolkien, of which I totally approve. It’s obvious that these two have an awesome community of love helping them create and celebrate.
