Leia & Brad's wedding was a colorful crafty family affair. Both of their parents helped with every detail of the wedding! Brad's Dad photographed the whole event on his old Nikon Super 8 camera and his Mom ( an opera singer ) helped Brad practice dancing. Leia 's Mom custom made her wedding dress, she also wore her Mother's wedding veil- and carried the handerchief that her Grandmother , Mom, Aunt and Great Aunt all carried at their weddings! Her Dad made all the wedding signs, the candy bar sign and the record stands. Leia said this is how they came up with their musical centerpieces:
"We choose our 10 favorite artists for the record/table numbers and put the lyrics from the songs that we felt expressed why we wanted to be married. I grew up listening to my parent's old country albums so Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash felt like good picks. Brad's band, Zoo Pilot, of course had to be the head table and one of my favorite songs of his is "All of the Time." Brad's all time favorites, The Kinks, The Beach Boys and The Beatles were also easy choices. The hardest part was narrowing it down to just 10!
Leia and her Mom also made the miniature guitars boutonnieres. They found the guitars (Christmas ornaments) on Amazon then hot glued them together with red guitar pics and hypericuim berries Brad choose specific guitars for each of his groomsmen by either the guitars that they actually played or ones that fit their personalities. His best friend Joshua was the DJ and her best friend from High School did her hair and makeup- they each got the same tattoo!
At the end of the night Brad's sister and Best Wo-man Jill and her beau sang a special song for the newlyweds before their exit !
Cheers to Leia and Brad and Hawaiian honeymoons!
