Molly and Marc are not shy about the way they feel for each other, and they aren’t shy in front of the camera either! As much as they love being together, they also love surprises. Whether the surprise be Marc proposing to Molly in a jail cell or the both of them wowing their wedding guests with an amazing choreographed first dance, they know how to keep things fun and exciting. It was a pleasure witnessing the moments of overwhelming emotion, riotous laughter, and downright silliness that filled their special day. If this wedding is the foundation for years to come, they are in for a love-packed roller coaster ride! Congrats Molly and Marc- a beautiful wedding for two beautiful people. (Big thanks to Joan of Five Grain Events, Jeremy of 3line9 productions, Hairspray Revolution, and Maggie Speaks for making this day so great)

Q&A with the bride:

What was the most memorable moment of your day?  Molly: Surprising everyone with our first dance.  Joan helped us find an amazing choreographer who created a fantastic Michael Jackson themed dance, complete with Thriller and Beat It dance moves.  Neither of us ever shy away from the spotlight, so we just decided to go for it.  It was the perfect way to set the tone for the reception, and we had the most amazing time on the dance floor together.

What was your favorite detail?  Molly: My best friend (and bridesmaid) Amy Zwikel is an extremely talented graphic artist, so she helped create a lot of the details for the wedding.  My favorite piece was the program.  It was bright, modern and fun, which perfectly reflected the wedding.
Funniest memory from your wedding day?  Molly: Maggie Speaks killed it, and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night.  Watching Marc and his fraternity brothers compete in a dance off in front of everyone had to be the funniest memory of the day.
Any advice for future brides/grooms?  Molly: No matter how much or how little you spend on a wedding, the only thing  guests actually remember is the tone of the event.  If the Bride and Groom are having a blast and letting their personalities shine through, all of the guests will have the time of their lives.  Also, make an effort to stay within 10 feet of each other the entire night.  Guests want to pull you in a million different directions, so do your best to not get separated.  I even waited outside the restroom when Marc needed a bathroom break.  The whole evening was so much more enjoyable because we got to experience everything together.
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?  Molly: Yes!  My 3 year old nephew would not have made the guest list…
Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Molly: Kauai and Maui.  Heaven!
