You know, I think I’ve actually been getting more submissions from grooms lately…and that makes me stoked! In this world of wedding blogs that are more centered around the female’s perspective, I hope Hi-Fi is a nice island for the grooms of the world to take refuge, yet still be inspired. Chris is one of those said grooms that sent me his lovely wedding and playlist…AND still admits to reading Hi-Fi even though he’s no longer planning (double stoked to hear that)! Peep on to see Chris and Erin’s gorgeous water-front wedding!
