Who says the bride has to wear white? And who said you have to walk down the aisle to ‘here comes the bride’? And who said the dance party had to have the chicken dance? Certainly not Khaki and Carl! Not only is she totally killin’ it in that stunning black dress, but the tattoos, musician hubby, hot friends, and great music don’t hurt either! This wedding is full of great song inspirations for every generation and was sure to keep the dance floor active!
