We featured a Filipino/Persian wedding that was held on a lovely garden estate — that used to be a plantation.

Ashley & Josh’s home-brewed prison wedding with a rap video
This bride goes gaga for DIY projects, and the biggest problem was reining them in! One of the best projects was the bride’s rap video gift to the groom. You have to see it to believe it.

Tissues will be required.
