Jill and Andrew’s wedding had some, dare I say, anti-wedding elements. There was no wedding party, no bouquet and no dance floor. The ceremony featured an excerpt from “Don’t Shoot, It’s Only Me” by Bob Hope. Jill even fully avoided walking down the “aisle” at both the beginning and the end of the ceremony. Regardless, this was still a wedding. A really lovely wedding. Two humans making a formal commitment to join forces forever and forever, till death do they part. Weddings are full of traditions. And none of them are required. Except for the commitment part.
Jill and Andrew did keep with some classic wedding features. Jill wore a white dress and Andrew wore a suit. There were drinks and there was food. And there were speeches. There were many speeches. Speeches that maybe resembled roasts at times. Let’s be honest, wedding speeches are not always great. These speeches were on another level. I left this wedding with a sore jaw from laughing and smiling throughout all of the amazing stories shared by guests.
Congrats again to Jill and Andrew!
