Bride in a top hat

Bride in a top hat, how do I love thee? Could it be the rakish angle? Could it be the twist on top hats typically being the dominion of a tuxedoed groom? Could it be that the black choker makes the little sparkly black hat look a little vaudevillian? Whatever it is, bride in a top hat, I love thee. And, HELLO there, groom in leather pants. Don't think I didn't notice you!

This is one hot couple! Even the cake is melting!
Love the groom in the leather pants, and all the little details of her dress. Really, really pretty!

Hi Ariel, First of all thanks for the internet love.
These two are some of my favorite people in the world!
Also, as an FYI the bride's name is Katie. MY name is Sarah.
Thanks!

Whups! Thanks for the correction, Sarah — and you're welcome!
