Sarah & David’s “love never dies” rockabilly wedding

Rockabilly can be a great equalizer among generations. This pair took advantage of that and crafted a sweet little 1950s-style soiree that everyone could enjoy. Even grandpa ended up with temporary tattoos all over his noggin. Add in paper retro car centerpieces, a mini juke box, some sliders and bottled soda, and the party’s made.
