My usual Saturday consists of eating my weight in cotton candy and getting sick on the Gravitron. But to have that luxury while watching someone get hitched? That's the high-life we've got going in this Monday Montage.

This couple manages to combine a lot of inspiration, some eco-DIY love, and a dose of tradition into a bitchin' barn wedding. And after seeing the homemade treat table and a kale bouquet, it's on like Donkey Kong.
