Jessica & Jesse’s Harry Potter wedding (with bonus Doctor Who) wins the House Cup

The reception was transformed into the Great Hall, wands were carried, quaffles were bounced around, golden snitch cakes were cut, tickets to Platform 9 and 3/4 were booked, and candles floated magically above it all… yep, we’re talking a HARRY POTTER wedding. We’re all Potterheads and Whovians over here, so adding in the Doctor Who details just put it over the top for mega love. Don’t miss the house gems, the house-themed centerpieces, the red butterbeer, and this gorgeously geeky pair in love.
