Kristen and Mike are not your typical couple. And they didn’t want a typical wedding.
They chose the Kinney Bungalow at Sunset Farm in Narragansett, RI for their wedding and reception. It’s a pretty setting and they ended up with a picture perfect day. From the start, I could tell they were going to make this day their own. Any couple who chooses Tom Waits “Hang on St. Christopher” as their recessional clearly is not going to follow ‘tradition’ — I loved it.
One brother, Matt, performed the ceremony (guests learned later on that, including that day, Matt had attended only two weddings. And Matt had been the officiant at both.)
Mike’s older brother, Pete, was not only the Best Man, but he also recorded a beautiful version of Canon in “D” for Kristen’s walk to the ceremony. He also delivered one of the funniest, sweetest toasts I’ve heard in a very long time.
Kristen’s dad (Paul) and sister (Karen) rounded out the wedding party and were equally fun. Two good families coming together with friends to share in the celebration. And celebrate they did. The dance floor was full when we ended the night.
