This wedding at Cedarwood was pretty awesome! From the Ghostbuster Proton Packs to light sabers for guests to use in the send-off, I really enjoyed looking at the photos! This must have been such a fun wedding to plan and even more so to attend! More Hollywood inspired goodness here.

#1 - A Celebration of Love that Helps Others
While we do stress that your wedding day should always be about you and your soon-to-be-spouse, we also enjoy seeing weddings where the couple doesn't only make it about them, they make everybody involved feel at ease as well. When Ellie and Nick got married they had their bridal party wear what they wanted, and they had their guests donate food and toiletries to Second Harvest Food Bank. Check more from the charitable wedding here.
