The OurWeddingDay Blog

Implementing unexpected dances at weddings has become the hot new thing (see: ubiquitous video of the Minnesota couple dancing down the aisle to Chris Brown).  We've seen lots of surprising first dances in our day, but this one takes the cake.

Aaron and Pernel decided to switch it up and break out in a seriously professional-looking swing dance!  The bride changed into a shorter dress and put on some swing dancing shoes and the couple took to the floor.

We wholeheartedly approve of spicing up the first dance if that is your style... bring on the unexpected! For more photos from Aaron and Pernel's gorgeous wedding, check out their photographer's blog here.

Meet Matt -- a designer/illustrator/art director/general "Jack of all Trades".  Matt met Jill at work, and after seven years of long-distance courtship, the pair were finally in the same place at the same time for long enough to get married.

Matt designed one of the most innovative and visually appealing wedding invitation we've encountered (and we see a lot!).

The invitation details the entire story behind Matt and Jill's relationship, from their first meeting to their happy ending.  Check out the invitation in better detail because something like this needs to be read in its entirety!
