they had this really cute setup where guests could write them postcards. and I loved their signature drinks (champagne and lemonade cocktails) with these adorable straws

sooo…..when Annie first told me that her dad would be joining the band and singing for her first dance, I was kind of “hmmmm this could be interesting”. BUT dude was like a legit rocker! so cool. This was really one of the most special things I’ve seen at a wedding π
