Feet on the ground, head in the sky

I loved so much about Lauren and Mark's late-August wedding in Downtown Durham. From splitting Monuts donuts instead of cutting cake, to  having SweetWater Ices and reception lawn games, to succulents in the boutonnieres and Mark's hand-sewn groomsmen hats, to Lauren's vintage-inspired wedding gown, I just could not get enough of all the little details.  I know California is a great spot of our country, but North Carolina is going to miss you two!
