When I came across this wedding on the blog of the amazingly talented Sarah Rhoads, I could hardly type fast enough to send her an email to see if I could feature it. It’s just such a perfect Unbride wedding; unique, creative and full of personal touches that make it special and representative of the personality of the couple.

Some editorial notes from Sarah:

“Cristin & Harper’s wedding was an honest and true reflection of who they are as individuals and as a couple. Creative, spontaneous, playful, funny & original. It started raining in the middle of the ceremony…. so appropriately ironic… and Harpur, being the outspoken guy that he is, asks the pastor if he can just “get to the important stuff” sending the crowd into an outrageous laughter. It was perfect. And as they were exiting the ceremony, the rain subsided and a rainbow came out. I don’t know too many couples who get a rainbow on their wedding day… that HAS to be a good sign.

Cristin is probably the only bride who I have ever known to have a dog in her lap throughout the course of most of her day. That cute little chihuahua you see in a lot of these images is her sweet little dog, Tom. He’s a charmer. She has a huge heart for animals and even a couture gown couldn’t come between her and Mr. Tom.

Basically I feel like I could go on and on about these two, their day, their wonderful families and rad friends, but I suppose I will let the images do the talking. One thing I will say, these to know how to throw a killer party. The band these two had at their reception was the most amazing 80’s cover band I have ever seen, the Spazmatics.”
