Mr. and Mrs. "Spahlinsky"

Okay, it is actually Mr. & Mrs Spahle, but I am still getting used to Natalie having a new last name!

Natalie and Matt were married this weekend in Oracle at Nat's parents home. I feel like the theme was "it takes a village", since there were so many people involved in every detail of the wedding. This made the wedding feel so very special and personal.

Here is the handsome couple!

Natalie and Matt are no run of the mill couple, and I wouldn't expect a wedding that was either. The ceremony started with Steve (Bridget's Man) playing the piano, and Natalie was given away by both her mother and father.

This seemed so natural for the Opinksky's, and was so very touching since the entire family has always been so close. Nat's parent, both mother and father, have played a tremendous role in her life. While being given away by both parents isn't traditional, it fit this wedding so well.

Then came the ceremony.

It was officiated by a good friend of the couple who gave a sweet message and conclude by asking the crowd a single question... no not the obligatory "speak now or forever hold your peace", rather he turned to the crowd and asked "what is love?". It was so sweet to see family members and friends get up and share what love was to them.

When it was time to deliver the vows Natalie surprised the crowd with a little song and dance to conclude...

Guess who her backup singers were... yup us bridesmaids with our phenomenal voices!

"I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go, there isn't an ocean to deep, a mountain so high it could keep, keep me away"

It was rad.

Like I said this was a special wedding, and I am so please to have Matt as a new cousin (although I'm not sure that is how it works!)

Cheers!

Pst stay tuned as there will be more to come of the fabulous reception and GOOSHERS!
