For Moira’s brother’s marriage ceremony just a few years in the past, my now brother and sister in-law determined to not have a cake. As an alternative, they’d pie. This was a giant level of competition within the household on the time. One member of the family proclaimed “You may’t have a marriage with out cake!”
Properly, I’m right here to let you know that you could, in actual fact, have a marriage with out cake. I’ve seen it carried out. Many occasions. You may also have a marriage with out flowers. And with out a white gown. And with out friends or a marriage venue, if that’s what you really need. And sure, can also have a marriage ceremony with out a photographer.
We’ve all the time been large proponents of allocating your marriage ceremony price range to the issues which can be most necessary to you and not spending cash on issues that you just’re instructed you’re purported to have, simply since you’ve been instructed that you just’re purported to have them. Evidently, we have been thrilled to see Kristin and Elliot eschew the standard marriage ceremony cake and have as an alternative an excellent cool retro ice cream truck for his or her summer season marriage ceremony at Spruce Mountain Ranch.
The ice cream truck was an enormous hit with children and adults alike and even was a kind of collective shared expertise through which everybody gathered exterior to quietly respect the chilly summer season deal with.
Don’t get me fallacious. I’m not dissing cake. Should you like cake, I hope you get the very best rattling marriage ceremony cake accessible. However in the event you don’t like cake, don’t let your folks or household let you know that you just have to have cake at your marriage ceremony. The identical goes for every little thing else you’re “supposed” to have. After almost 20 years photographing weddings, the very best recommendation we will impart is to make your marriage ceremony day yours and never anybody else’s. Keep true to your imaginative and prescient. You gained’t remorse it.
Kristin and Elliot, thanks each a lot for having us (and for having the tremendous cool ice cream truck). We hope you had an exquisite time in St. Lucia!
