Missy & Brian – Mateys for Life

by Niki - Inspired Bride Leave a Comment

1Have you ever thought about getting Captain Jack Sparrow to officiate your wedding? Or how about getting a food truck for your reception instead of a regular buffet set up? Well, Missy & Brian sure did! And it really made for a very interesting wedding to feature on this last day of August. And that’s not all, they even had fire dancing throughout their reception. They definitely planned to let their guests have a really fun & unique experience on this rare & once in a lifetime milestone of their lives.

Brian and I met through his friend and best man Neil. Brian and Neil used to work together and when Neil moved back to Crane Lake Brian came to visit and that is how we met.

I wanted to keep it simple and rustic to go with a farm/lake wedding. I love drinking out of mason jars so I used them for my decor.

Kilcup_Bulley_Davin_G_Photography_BulleyWedding329_lowDo you have advice for couples still in the planning process?

It will all come together and hire a planner just to do the set up and take down! It makes your day so much less stressful:)

Sitting on the pontoon boat heading for wedding pictures across the lake that we took at a random cabin in the woods.

Kilcup_Bulley_Davin_G_Photography_BulleyWedding388_lowWhat were some challenges you faced planning your wedding & what would you have done differently to avoid them?

Challenges; I would have to say myself. I am a procrastinator and indecisive so it really made for an interesting planning experience. I would avoid caring what other people want.

Ceremony highlight would be my two dogs as ring bearers and my JP was a genuine pirate. Reception would have to be the food truck 🙂
