Dawn and Jason had a low key wedding at San Francisco’s city hall, followed by a reception at Kingfish Restaurant and drinks at Lucky 13 with photography by Bri McDaniel.

We met the old fashioned way… Online. We were 95% matched. The site has the option to rate people, which generates an email saying one of these people just rated you. I remember thinking, “I hope it’s the hot one.” He emailed once I rated him back. Dripping with romance, I know! We started exchanging texts, had a bit of a hiccup and met a month later. Our first date was a Jim Breuer show.

The low key aspect of our wedding definitely represented us well. We wanted it simple, yet fun. Private City Hall ceremony, lunch with our family followed by a celebration at our favourite bar for all our friends. The best was hearing, “Best wedding I’ve ever been to” by multiple people. It was a long day but we were able to incorporate all the aspects we wanted while still not breaking the bank.

Felicia and Seth married in a gorgeous outdoor wedding at Mathwig Event Barn in Maryland, completely decorated with lace and vintage trinkets, and photography from Unforgettable Expressions.

We met online. Our first few planned hangouts fell through and I was about to just give up. However our third date happened.. (Third time’s the charm right?) For our first date we hung out at Seth’s house and played with Star Wars Lego (we are huge Star Wars fans) and watched Blade Runner while adding our own commentary. He was such a gentleman and walked me to the car that night. He never gave me a goodnight kiss. So naturally I assumed he didn’t like me. The next night we got together and he finally kissed me… to which I laughed in his face. I had to quickly explain I wasn’t laughing at him but that his beard tickled my lips and made me giggle.

Pretty much all the decorations were DIY. I searched high and low on the internet collecting lace, vintage items, just anything you could think of. We got married in a barn and I filled it with wildflowers, mason jars, chalkboards, acorns and pinecones. I made a ton of scrap fabric garland in various sizes to hang in the entrance and on tables. I am a photographer myself so I really made sure that I set everything up perfectly for photographs.

The biggest thing in the entire wedding that represented us was probably the music. We aren’t fans of dance music or pop music or anything along those lines. The only music we played at our wedding was classic rock, some down and dirty bluegrass and folk. Let’s face it, get people drunk enough and they will dance to Mozart!
