Well Wed Feature!

Well I may be slacking off with the actual blog posts lately but I have some great press happening.
Here's to Rachel and Russ for being so darn adorable and for having such great taste.  Their wedding featured the groom's Dad killing it on guitar with the band (the crowd went mental) and the bride's Dad helping her pick out her dress.  So sweet.
