Anna & Joe’s circus carnival and costume ball wedding

From her breathtaking blood-red gown to his dapper top hat and tails, these two are the picture of gorgeous Victorian fashion. I’ll bet you’d be surprised at who their officiant was!

You’re also going to love the late night dip in the pool, the killer shoes, and the heartwarming grandfather as an admiring admiral just bursting with happy mid-hug.
