I LOVE me some creative couples! Laura and Ryan did all of the wedding planning and art and did a wonderful job to keep things pretty unique and authentic to them. One of the things that they knew for sure was their desire for the music to reflect – to a tee – their journey together. As major music junkies, these two love birds adore music and use it as a major expression of their feelings for each other! Every single song that was chosen and played from ceremony through the first major dances, were once given to each another in their “mixed tape-fashioned courtship”.
