In the past few months, some friends and I collaborated, conspired and combined forces to create a network of our favorite local wedding professionals. This band of nuptially-focused sisters and brothers is called The Wedding Lounge. Our first happening is this Saturday, January 12 from 7-10. The event will be at the Breezeway, which is located at 304 15th St, Studio 100.

Well, two weddings, of course. Behold, a small sample of Vidhya + Sean’s bi-cultural nuptials at Hotel Fort Des Moines and the Temple for Performing Arts in downtown Des Moines.

While thanking everyone for attending, the couple said a “wedding is like your own all-star game.” I love that because it’s true. It’s a gathering of all the best people in your lives in one place, dressed up and having a blast. Here’s a few photos from Saturday that, if there was an ESPN wedding channel, would make the highlights.
