It was a great wedding, we did everything ourselves, my mother and I arranged the whole thing in about a month, my dad made the Chuppah, my mom and her friends did the flowers, my dad's friend was the bandleader, it was great. We walked up the aisle to the theme from our favorite TV show...it was just really fun and totally laid back.

The night before we had a hallween costume party rehearsal dinner, and for the ceremony we didn't even have an officiant because we had really gotten married at city hall months earlier. We just came out, thanked everyone for coming, read our thoughts/vows to one another, broke the glass and that was it!
