Jessica & Robin’s cafe wedding with a musical surprise

A torrential rainstorm couldn’t hold back this couple from their music-loving wedding with a serendipitous second-hand wedding dress find. Oh, and there may have been a huge surprise at the reception involving a band, a full choir, and some American Idiot.
