Or the longer version title that I like much better - “Tattoos, cars, rock and roll, and a wedding.” Regardless of what you would call this special day, Justin and Abby had plenty of little surprises throughout the day. From the way they signified their love for each other with tattoos to the taste in music they share - by hiring Wayne Hancock to play at their reception.

Not to mention, my daughter loves to sport her new tattoo (don’t worry, it’s one of those fake ones that come with the disc). Go get your copy HERE.

David and Holly were married in Christopher, IL at Holly’s parents’ home. They were kind enough to invite my whole family to celebrate their special day. Despite the heat and humidity everyone enjoyed themselves and the girls came home filled with delicious cake and glow sticks.
