After yesterday’s post about cave weddings, I got so many emails asking for more information about Sabrina’s cave wedding, that I figured I better post her profile right away!

The offbeat bride: Sabrina - Graphic Designer

Her offbeat partner: Paul - NASA Meteorologist/Computer Scientist

Location & date of wedding: Stephen’s Gap Cave, Woodville, AL (basically in the boonies!) 5.1.08

What made our wedding offbeat: First off, I designed and we printed our own wedding invitations on my 1924 Chandler and Price letterpress (Paul did all the typesetting). We did all the decor ourselves: the decorations, the favors, the flowers, I designed the cake, etc.

Then our wedding was really a weekend’s worth. May 1st (Thurs) Paul and I got married in a cave - Stephen’s Gap Cave. Our entire wedding party hiked for 45 minutes with all of their fancy clothes (including a rented tux for Paul) slung over their backs and got changed in the cave. We had a fantastic ceremony, and then went out for pizza, and later went to the reception site to start decorating.
