Get your guests involved by having them “tie your knot”

Taymar and Max had all of their guests tie a string around their wrist, offering advice and love at the same time. This is an awesome idea to get your guests involved, as long as your guest list is a manageable size.

Kelly & Andrew’s small and simple Tuesday wedding

With the goal of keeping things simple, budget-friendly, and personalized, these two managed to pull off a sweet and small wedding (with only a few minor hiccups along the way!). Heavy metal, wrestler themes, and movie soundtracks were the musical backdrop for the alt model marrying the independent wrestler. Add in a little color, a little candy, and some knocked-out groomsmen and you’ve got the jist.
