Want the full experience? "Click play"!

Ahh, I get weepy just looking at these photos! When planning our ceremony, we focused on keeping it simple, short, and sweet, we've sat through some loooong wedding ceremonies and didn't want to do that to our guests or each other. For our processional music we chose Going to the Chapel by the Dixie Cups, it was fun and fit the vintage atmosphere perfectly, when I finally made my entrance with my dad everyone started clapping in time with the music! We asked our friend Dave to preside over the ceremony, he's the one person that has been friends with us both separately (I met him at the SAT's as a Junior in high school, Chris met him at the different high school they both attended), as well as a couple. Dave wrote something personalized to read for us, and Chris and I each wrote our own vows. For the recessional, we chose a cover song by Joey Ramone, Chris and I both love older punk music and this song was classic enough while still being fun and celebratory. As we walked out, bubbles floated in the air above us, it was perfect!
