Kelsi and Jeremy incorporated their love for music (several ways) in their darling DIY wedding! First and foremost, Jeremy designed their invitations (he is a graphic designer) which were a concert poster and ticket. One of their favors was a cd with music from bands they have seen live together (LOVE that!) which complimented their personalized guitar picks quite nicely! Jeremy and Kelsi first met at a show with a Beatles tribute band called The Daytrippers, so it was only fitting that they played at their wedding! As if all of that wasn’t spectacular enough, Jeremy and Kelsi wrote a song which they performed for the guests at the reception.

Here’s what Kelsi had to say about the song they performed: Our song that we sang at the reception was original lyrics sang to the tune of “Fireworks after midnight” by Gold Motel. I came up with the lyrics using entries we had written to each other in a journal we kept while we were dating. We named our song “Two-Sided Love.”

Two-Sided Love Lyrics
Bookstore dates and concert nights, and finding forgotten fires
being with you is peaceful, it motivates and inspires
what a blessing, two-sided love

we’re writing our history, each moment we share
our life together, you & me, a joy beyond compare

you breathe life into my days, my bright star
thank you, love, for being exactly what you are
what a blessing, two-sided love

we’re writing our history, each moment we share
our life together, you & me, a joy beyond compare

thank you friends and family, on our special day
it means so much to have you here, on our wedding day

we’re writing our history, each moment we share
our life together, you & me, a joy beyond compare
what a blessing, two-sided love
