Pink and orange with heart-shaped sammies on top

I’m in love with these geeks in love and their wedding in Arizona. And with their pink and orange happy-pants color scheme. And with the bride’s tea-length dress that shows off her ink (that also matches the peacocks strutting around. AND we love their tiered Rice Krispy treat cake. My relationship with it is getting serious. We may be thinking a marshmallow/me marriage. I think you’ll love it, too, so make yourself a heart-shaped PB&J, get to scrolling, and take it all in.

The day may have started out on a wonky note, but it looks like this friends and family team was top notch at problem-fixing. Oh, and note that if you hand a flask to the bride, make sure it’s not too full!
