Jennifer & Bruce’s Vintage Jedi driveway wedding

Joan and Tom’s upcycled carnival cabaret wedding

We married on September 11, 2010. We’d just met when the 9/11 tragedy occurred. After the initial shock subsided, we made a big feast for the people who lived in our building. That was the first loving thing we did as a couple, so we consider it our anniversary. It made sense to marry on that day (albeit having to explain the story a million times).
