Couples are embracing change and putting in extra effort into making their wedding day unique. It’s becoming quite popular to change up the traditional ways of a wedding day.

How did this particular couple decide to change things up? Well, they had a wedding! That was the surprise! Haha! What?!

It was a cloudy Sunday morning. Michele and Frank’s family and close friends arrived at Panevino Ristorante, in Livingston, NJ. They gathered to celebrate to celebrate Michele and Frank’s engagement. As each person entered the venue, they were received with a boarding pass. Some glanced at it and continued on while others read it and let out squeals or tears of joy. They realized that they just boarded Michele and Frank’s journey as Mr. & Mrs.

Michele’s mom and dad walked her down the aisle to her groom where they exchanged their self-written vows. Their ceremony was followed by an early dinner reception equipped with unique entertainment. Laughs and faces of shock filled the room as a magician walked from table to table impressing guests with his magic tricks. Later, their 6 year old niece amazed the room as she pressed her bow onto the strings of her violin creating music as gentle as a butterfly.

Michele and Frank ended their night by cutting into their tiered donut wedding cake. It looked great and tasted even better!
