A Wedding with Chickens, Swords, and One Ring to Rule Them All

A wedding should be a celebration of who you are. Not what is expected. Not what everyone else is doing. It should be a day of love, fun, and a commitment to each other. Kristina and Gerald are the perfect example. They both planned their wedding themselves and not a single minute was not chocked full of personal touches and fun surprises. They made it their own.

We are so thrilled to share with you these photos with hope that you too will remember to always walk your own path. Trust us. You won't regret it.

Gerald's wedding ring is a replica of the "One Ring to Rule Them All" from Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy

Some wedding parties are not to be trifled with.

Gerald even included his love of chickens into his day. Live chickens were on hand for photos and snuggles.
