Our ceremony

our balloon girls
we walked in with an instrumental acoustic version of one of Riley's songs that I love called Coast to Coast.
We laughed a lot. Our friend Ben did an amazing job!
I wrote something for Riley and he sang me a song.
we had our friends & family release the balloons once we shared our first kiss as husband and wife.
We walked out to Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys.
Our ceremony lasted about 10 minutes. We were determined to have a fun and stress free wedding, and we definitely accomplished that!
It was truly a magical day. ♥  

Tomorrow I'll be sharing our Mr & Mrs photos!

  3. This wedding seems so perfect I kind of want to cry without even having been there. The last picture is just soooooo beautiful. And so are both of you! How did your parents feel about your totally off-beat ceremony?

    They loved it because it was totally us! I think it helped that the Mr. & I are the youngest in our families so they've done the big wedding thing. And we paid for it ourselves! haha!

    Thank you so much guys!
