"Strike Up, Pipers!" *

Lots of people asked me why Bryce and Kyrstyn didn't just have their weddings together instead of one day apart. Answer: veeeeeery different weddings! Bryce was married in the LDS temple and had a fairly standard and very classy reception at my parents' house/yard. Kyrstyn, on the other hand, had her actual ceremony in my parents' backyard along with hours of festivities. She and her husband met at Burning Man, all their friends are "burners," and her husband is doing his PhD in ancient Greek Festival (or something like that), so they had this very artistic and unusual festival-type wedding. A few select moments:

The musicians for the procession and festivities (it sounded sort of midieval, sort of carnival-esque, depending on the moment and the combo)

The bride and groom catch a moment together on the lawn after the "feast"
