Well, it happened -- Brad and I got married! And let me tell you, it was a SPECTACLE. Well, it was as much of a spectacle as we could pull off in the time we had. :) I mean, what else could you expect from a theater techie like me, and a teacher-by-day/musician-by-night like Brad?

This wedding had EVERYthing --

.

A musical-soundtrack themed invitation:

including some large nods to one of our favorite TV shows and one of our favorite movies

.

A ceremony in a theater with tickets to get in and a program:

.

A Muppet movie intro:

.

A magic trick (er, "illusion"):

there was more than one set of “rings” exchanged in our ceremony!

.

Confetti cannons (obviously) while a choir singing the “Hallelujah Chorus”:

.

A reception in a museum with free reign to us and our guests:

needless to say, some guests (including the bride and groom) ignored some exhibit signs!

.

A pinball-themed cake (designed by Brad):

.

High-fives:

.

Karaoke:

.

.

Plus of course we included the traditional things like vows, life-changing commitment, speeches, flowers, dinner, dancing, and family and friends. :)
