Don’t miss the Tom “Hankies” at this movie-themed wedding

Liz and Adam are HUGE movie buffs, so they had a movie-themed wedding at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, one of their favorite haunts.

Plus, the ceremony itself took place in a theater!

Lauren and Kyle are two wonderfully weird creatures from outer space who are super in love with each other (also Earth-bound visual artists and programmers whose art mixes light work, electronics and sound, while exploring human’s interactions). Lauren’s “Conversacube” (a device she created that offers random words to ease strangers into a conversation) were installed on every table at the reception, and Kyle’s magnificent light installation lit the whole room all night.
