April & David’s Benevolent and Affable Order of the Jackalope

April & David love theme parties so they used their wedding as an excuse to throw a party with a theme of, “The Lodge of the Jackalope,” a fraternal Lodge in the 1950’s. Without giving too much away the best moment was an improvised line from the “Grand Buck” during the exchanging of the Pez.

This musical theater couple’s wedding was as show called “Wedding: The Musical”

We wrote and produced Wedding! The Musical and had our friends star in it with us. Not only was there popcorn and commemorative posters sold pre-show along with a mime, during the “show” there was music, dancing, lip synching, a trapeze swing, skits to tell the story of our relationship, and eventually a ceremony complete with a ringleader, fire, and uh, missing rings. We also spent 3 months learning a choreographed swing dance and pretended to get in a huge fight in front of the 225 guests before sailing into said dance.
