Chris is a publicist for a handful of my favorite bands (some that my husband and I have had play our record shop), so it’s no wonder that I’m totally jazzed about the hand picked playlist he and his wife, Erin, curated for their wedding! The two love birds met while they were DJs at a college radio station. Chris and Erin chose to tie the knot at Pendarvis Farm (where the Portland-area music fest called Pickathon takes place). Because music is a big part of their lives, Chris and Erin wanted to have a wedding that incorporated that part of their relationship. They used old LP covers of rad duos as the table decorations (including Hall & Oates, Cheech & Chong, Captain & Tennille, Sam & Dave, Kid n Play, Peaches & Herb, Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash). I’m so in love with this wedding! Peep on and enjoy friends!
