Sara & Mark’s improv-tastic, eco-friendly, wine-soaked wedding

Sara & Mark made sure their guests were entertained at their wedding! They did this by taking advantage of the space at their venue: a vineyard in Santa Ynez. They created different areas of entertainment for the guests, like a s’mores fire-pit, a cigar lounge and a photo-booth. They even put on an improv show, which Bill Nye the Science Guy was in!!

Our Californian / Honduran wedding was a fuchsia family laugh-fest

We had a Lasso Ceremony which was new for my family, but common in Latin American Catholic weddings. The lasso is a large, double looped rosary, which is placed over the shoulders of the couple after their vows. A prayer is said about how the lasso represents two parts bound together while sharing equally in the responsibilities of the marriage.

SLUT wedding

Nina & Tom’s super fun transportation wedding in Seattle

Nina & Tom rented the SLUT (South Lake Union Trolley) for their wedding ceremony! Following the Trolley ride/ceremony, they took everyone on a duck tour of Seattle.
