When I first saw the record wedding cake pop up in my facebook feed, I knew I had to find out the music behind the wedding of such a cake! Thankfully it wasn’t long before the emails began between me, Brittany, and Mike. Their intimate, backyard wedding was filled with family and friends. They selected all of the songs, and I’m so in love with the entire thing! A wonderful mix across several genres, there’s bound to be something you’re missing from your own list!
