Real Weddings: Kayla and Marcus

Kayla and Marcus had one of those weddings where their personalities could be seen in every detail.  The only thing traditional about this wedding, was the vows. Everything else was unique and special to this super sweet couple!

Kayla and Marcus were married at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, followed by a small reception at The Villa.  The weather was sunny and warm...until just before the ceremony was to begin, when a heavy summer rain came through. We kept waiting for it to pass but alas had to start the ceremony.  Amazingly the rain stopped just as the couple started saying their vows and when the doors opened and the couple was announced husband and wife, the sun came out.  It was perfect! And remember Kayla, rain on your wedding day is good luck!

Our favorite thing from this couple's wedding?  The attendant's processional song, "Million Kisses," is written and sung by the bride's brother, who also escorted her down the isle.  Here's a link to a YouTube video of "Million Kisses" by the brother of the bride's band, Romance on a Rocketship

Congratulations Kayla and Marcus! You are an amazing couple and we thank you for letting us share in your special day.


We were completely in love with Kayla's selection of bright Gerbera Daisies against the black attire.



Kayla's dress from David's Bridal was gorgeous and was the perfect style for her laid-back personality.  


 This very nice groomsman escorted guests in when the rain started pouring down. Whatta guy!

Planning for a hot June wedding Kayla and Marcus put their program on paper fans.

The Groom's Cake in the shape of Texas and tuxedo strawberries.

The Wedding Cake.  The bright yellow, orange and pink against the black and white cake is gorgeous.

Guests wrote messages to the couple in Dr. Seuss's "Oh The Places You'll Go."  This is perfect since Kayla's an elementary teacher.  Even the pens were Gerbera Daisies, and I bet Kayla and Marcus are more likely to keep this on their coffee table than a traditional guest book.

Rather than a liquor bar guests enjoyed a soda bar with custom labeled Jones Sodas, featuring photos of the bride and groom.

These are some smart folks, opting for comfortable shoes! The girls wore black flats and the guys wore black and white sneakers.  The bride wore TOMS bridal white wedding glitter flats.

THE PLAYLIST:  We enjoyed the music Kayla and Marcus chose for their ceremony a lot!  As with everything at their wedding, each song selected held special meaning for the couple.  They were sweet enough to let us keep their CD and playlist.
