About Mrs. Moonbeam

We didn’t really do an entrance; there wasn’t an announcement or anything. We just waited until everyone was there and settled (and we’d taken some pictures) and then walked into our reception, hand in hand as a team.

Thanks ladies.

@mcnetn3: All from Men’s Wearhouse, the groomsmen’s suits were 2 for 1 and Mr. MB’s was on sale.

Tried to find the link for the groomsmen’s suits, but looks like they may not sell those anymore.

@mariavvisa: Thanks! Here’s how

Love the flower wall :) We’re not planning on doing any grand entrance to the reception either, we’re just going to meander in :)
