Alison & Nicolas’ Irish music, dancing, and DIY wedding in a barn

Bagpipes, redwoods, and fiddles at this Big Sur Pi Day wedding

We love seeing couples get married on Pi Day, but Jeanne and Nick took it one step further and had the ceremony begin at 1:59, making their anniversary an even longer form of the abridged number: 3.14159! Jeanne walked in to bagpipes and let her fab Black Milk leggings peek out as she walked toward the ceremony. And then we got to see the first of many photos of Nick’s expression that make me swoon.

Cecil & Paul’s animals, vuvuzelas, and NERF war wedding

You’re probably looking at the title of this wedding and tilting your head a bit. But don’t worry, it all makes sense when you know the theme of this wedding is pure, unadulterated FUN! Animal-themed tables, food truck tacos, and rock-paper-scissors start off the good times, but the giant NERF gun war at the reception kept it all going strong into the night!

Make flowers out of love letters (or emails)

“Eirik handmade all the flowers. Since we met online, my bouquet was made out of paper that I had printed our very first emails to each other on. My bridesmaids’ flowers had their respective names printed on them, the moms had white flowers with “Mom” printed on them, and the groomsmen and dads had boutonnieres made out of pages from comics books.”
