Two-toned purple hair + this epic dress + dog = giving us life

We were so taken by this two-toned purple hair, lovely lace-topped dress, groom in Chucks, and their plush toy-channeling pooch, that we just couldn’t look away. Hashtag engagement shoot goals.

In lieu of a first dance, they had a first Rock Band song, and their six parental figures joined for a family performance.
