You don’t always have to have a raging dance party until the sunrise to celebrate your love for music with friends and family at your wedding. Angela and Luc selected some of the most important songs for their special day and gave guests a cd favor of music that was played before the wedding. Wanna know a fun fact?! Angela MADE HER DRESS…along with her crafty bridesmaids that also helped create their own attire. From the fun vibe, to the DIY touches, to including their Chihuahuas (Minou and Birdie) on their special day, Angela and Luc’s unique vision evolved into such a personalized wedding!

Processional song: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ – Ennio Morricone
Recessional song: I Believe in a Thing Called Love – the Darkness
(best. song. ever. The Dj hit the timing perfectly. I cried instantly. Everyone did their metal horn fingers walking down the aisle. After The Kiss Luc put his arms up in the air victoriously to the music.)
