Exchanging Vows at Front and Palmer

Wanting to keep things simple, Samantha and Brian decided that there were some wedding traditions they could simply live without. The pair crossed things like announcing the couple and the first dance off their list, so they could get right to the good stuff: food, drinks and family. “We didn’t want the world staring at us on our day,” Samantha says. “We didn’t need to remind the guests at every moment that it was about us.”
