My close friend Kelly officiated the ceremony. We wrote our vows and sent them to her, she read them out loud and we repeated them. We each said four vows: three funny, personal ones and one more sentimental.

Melannie from Oak and Honey Events met with us to establish the overall design. We love that she took inspiration from our home. We wanted the wedding to celebrate Tremont and Cleveland and our modern vintage style, while also celebrating our friends and family that enjoyed the day with us.

I wanted to be comfortable and have fun as well as look as much like my self. I went to Miranda’s Vintage Bridal. She redid the sleeves of my ’60s dress to shorten them a bit, but otherwise the dress was in it’s original state.
