Hannah + Dylan's Hazard Wedding!

The day began surrounded by the Hannah and Dylan’s closest friends and family, but it was the ceremony that carried some of the most personal details. They chose nontraditional songs for the processional, and the groom’s stepfather became ordained so he could officiate. When they struggled to find a unity ceremony that felt right, the groom suggested an idea that immediately clicked: making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich together. “Honestly, I don’t think that could have been more us,” Hannah says. “I had never heard of this being done before.”

The reception kept that same playful, personal spirit. Their first dance was to “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls, and the moment became unexpectedly literal when some of the décor caught fire while they were dancing. “We were setting the dance floor on fire—literally,” the bride says. One of the cocktail-hour drinks was named after their dog, and guests were also sent home with dog treats for their own pets and koozies featuring the couple’s dog’s face.

After dancing the night away, the celebration ended with a sparkler send-off. Dessert was a white wedding cake layered with raspberry jam, and when it comes to wedding-planning advice, the bride keeps it simple: “Don’t sweat the small things!”
