Rock & Roll Wedding

Rachael Kennedy (29 and a retail recruiter) and Joe McGinnis (32 and works in radio promotion) met after Joe worked for Rachael’s parents, both DJs, so it was only fitting for the couple to fill their wedding with music. “Our theme was rockstar chic,” Rachael says. For their save-the-dates, the couple made each guest their own mix CD, topping 100 different mixes (that’s more than 1,000 songs!). The innovative ceremony seamlessly led straight into the reception, where Joe took over DJing duties with even more playlists.
Being the music lovers that they are, Rachael and Joe listened to what she says were “hundreds and hundreds” of songs to find the right one. In the end, they chose Neil Young’s classic “Harvest Moon.” Texan friends helped concoct the spicy Manheim Mule, the couple’s innovative tequila and ginger drink. Just as they would at any good concert, guests took home custom wedding merch, including koozies and T-shirts.
