No freaking way
Needless to say, seeing an officiant use my book in this way cracks my ass up.

For more photos from this Louisana wedding, including margarita cheesecake, some Rock Band at the reception, and some insanely hot groomsmen in baby blue ties and black shirts, keep reading!

So, I'm guessing you approve?
We had full plans to take more pictures with the book [that I dubbed "The Bible" during my planning] but things just got away from us. I am so glad we could give you a little giggle!

Yes, the ties are from cyberoptix, but I would not recommend at all. If your order comes in looking great, then awesome! If you have a problem, she disappears. More details on my OBT page or you can email me if you're interested in what we had to deal with.

OMG I love this wedding. Getting married in 9 days and having a minor panic attack so I popped on over here and am all happy inside now and remember why I'm doing all this.

This wedding is awesome.
I really love the colors, originality and obvious fun .
I especially love your dress you were wearing after: Could I ask where you got it, or the brand name???
