At my cousin's quirky "Alice in Wonderland"-themed wedding, we celebrated the official joining of her family with her fiancee's family. The newlyweds' families came together even before the official union to produce on skits and performances for the big day. The ladies of both families learned and danced the Hula:
the men of the family put on a skit and did their own... interesting dance:
and they all came together in this caterpillar costume to wish the bride and groom the very best on their new journey together:
It was a lot of fun to watch and from what I heard, a lot of fun to put together. At the wedding, people even dressed up as characters from Alice in Wonderland - there was a Queen of Hearts, Tweedledees and Tweedledums, and a few Mad Hatters. Speaking of the Mad Hatter, the cake was crafted to look like his hat made for the bride by a good friend:
The wedding was SO much fun. So many people joined forces to put the wedding together and to celebrate/ well-wish the newlyweds. We ate delicious Hawaiian food & yummy desserts, we danced and let loose, and we laughed at the silliness that was unveiled through the skits. It was such a great break from our busy everyday schedules and allowed us to reunite and catch up with family and friends we hadn't seen in a while. The wedding also brought the bride and grooms' families closer as they spent so much time together to put on such a jubilant production. The vibrant colors, quirky outfits, funny skits, basically everything about this celebration reminded me of how much joy comes from letting loose and living in the moment. I hadn't laughed so hard in months and almost forgot how rejuvenating belly-deep laughter could be.
