Adele & John’s anachronistic Victorian World’s Fair wedding

When the first dance is actually a Rock Band duet, you know you’re in for a treat. These two found a way to combine Neo-Victorian style with all of their “interests, obsessions, and pretensions” and have it all somehow make sense. The centerpieces don’t bite (I think), so come on in and explore.

What our wedding was really worth

I have financial guilt the way my Catholic friends have sex guilt. I do spend money; they do have sex. But it’s rare we’re entirely comfortable during the act, and we almost always question ourselves after. I can imagine so many other things to spend money on — good things, things that will last longer, things more deserving, things more logical.
