A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Sam & Stephen’s End of the Road Wedfest
Happy Wednesday darlings! Today we’re traveling across the pond for a UK wedding! Like most folks here on Hi-Fi, Sam and Stephen live and breathe music. So much so they opted to get married at the venue that hosts one of the UKs quirkiest and coolest music fests, End of the Road Festival (so awesome! the 2012 line up is pretty sweet!). These two have gone each year, religiously, since day one – how fitting to begin their life together at such a place! This wedding makes my heart swell!
