Sarah & Dale’s sweet ceremony meets dark, dramatic reception wedding

We love when traditional elements meet personal style. In this case, we’ve got dark, rich details, dramatic decor, quirky socks, a little pirate-ness, and even a cowboy hat. Don’t miss the cake shenanigans and the ultra sweet story of a grandfather remembering his own 50 year marriage.

A private, sweet, and playful Jacksonville wedding

So maybe these two ran into two other couples trying to get married under the same tree… when you see it, you’ll understand why. This backdrop is idyllic to say the least. Get ready for colorful hair, sweet and serendipitous vows, a funfetti cake everyone can agree on, and a tiny ceremony followed by brunch.

Lots of DIY, a butch-identified “bride” in a snazzy suit, and some amazing moments on the dance floor — you must see this Whovian meets Bill and Ted wedding. You may also learn a little something from the six Ps of Theater: proper planning prevents pitifully poor productions.
