I’m in love with this wedding. I mean yes: the bride is wearing an amazing red wedding dress and we all know I love those — but she’s also rocking a coordinated red wedding veil! Evidently, the veil was made the morning of the wedding. Bonus points for last-minute magic.

I also love that the groom matched the theme with his red mohawk — but I’m especially smitten by the fact that a groomsman helped the guests by holding up helpful cue cards during the ceremony.

Everyone: steal this idea.
