Let’s get fancy with two kayaking brides and the cutest elephant cake topper you ever did see

Angela and Ashley got married after Prop 8 was overturned in California and boyyyyy did they do it up!

I highly recommend watching the same day edit wedding video from Imperial Video if you want to get your emotions on — or if you just want to see Angela dancing up the aisle with both of her parents.
