At first glance Rebekah and Justin are a beautiful, young couple in love. Which is absolutely true. But what you can’t see, not until you spend some time with them, is that they are incredibly fun and WILD! When we first arrived at Rebekah’s room before the ceremony we were greeted by life-sized cardboard photographs of the couple’s beloved dogs. Since they had to stay behind in Colorado, Rebekah’s mother had the standees made so they could be part of the ceremony. This let us know right off the bat that nobody was taking themselves too seriously. That’s not to say that this wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Newport wasn’t decked out. From Rebekah’s gorgeous Galina Signature gown, to the John Orton flowers, and even the whimsical socks that the groom and groomsmen had on, every detail was spot on. It was clear that Rebekah had an incredible wedding planner. Her mother, Liz.  Rebekah and Justin reside in Colorado so Liz orchestrated this amazing affair with style and grace and she was such a pleasure to work with. Now back to their wild side. We heard whispers that Justin’s side of the family pulls a prank at every family wedding so we couldn’t wait to find out what it was! Turns out they had tiny footballs made with the couple’s name on them and passed them out to all of the guests prior to the ceremony. The instructions were to throw them at Rebekah and Justin during the recessional. It went off without a hitch and we have the pictures to prove it! Once Rebekah let down her Rapunzel hair the party was on. At one point during the reception Rebekah was officially inducted as an “outlaw” in an elaborate skit that included camouflaged ties for the men and sashes for the women. We can only imagine a lifetime of love, fun, and of course pranks, for Rebekah and Justin. Congratulations!
