Crane helped choose my dress, he was there when I tried it on, he helped me get ready before the wedding, and we arrived together. There was no “old, new, something blue”. We chose to not have any bridemaids, groomsmen, flowergirls, or ringbearers. We did away with the aisle, and nobody “gave me away”. I did not wear a veil. We did not exchange rings (as they were already tattooed on our fingers!). We did not throw my beautiful basket of lambs ear, and I did not wear a garter. We decided that all these traditions and superstitions were silly and unnecessary. We just went and did the ceremony, then partied afterward. Crane’s best friend, Thomas, is the officiant. We are indeed standing on top of a picnic table. And yes, we totally toppled over at the end. It was completely accidental. Nobody was hurt. I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Sorry about the sound; the roar in the background is the generator we were using to power the DJ’s equipment, since the venue did not have electricity. The generator really wasn’t that loud in person. The camera just happened to pick that particular noise up especially well.) Music: “Besaido Island” composed by Masashi Hamauzu
