Ever since I was a child, I have always just assumed that Libby would be my wife when the day came. Due to some unforeseen circumstances (I'm a lizard and lizards don't have the same rights I'm gay mom and dad! GAY!) things didn't end up quite as I planned in my bedroom playing with Star Wars figurines at 10 years old. It was with a happy heart that I watched Libby walk down the aisle in the serene and beautiful scenery of mountainous Montana on Sunday afternoon. I can't imagine a more perfect man (well, more perfect than me of course) for Libby, than Tobin.
Every aspect of the wedding was like a movie, down to the ceremony which used constant script metaphors (seeing as Tobin is a filmmaker) to seal their love together. Yours truly was there to capture every minute of it (except for the vows, which my memory card conveniently filled up for) and I spent all day yesterday editing it for the enjoyment of the blog readers. Prepare to go on a wild ride complete with cheesy delicious 80's soundtrack as Nick and I take you inside the events! Even though the heat was making me feel pretty sick (talk about disappointing, as I had to sit inside resting part of the time), I think I managed to get a lot of fun footage. Enjoy!
That's the kind of wedding I like - not too formal, beautiful setting, happy happy people. Thanks for letting us be a part of it! Also, loved the tune playing while they cut the cake - what was that?

Barbara, it was ABSOLUTELY a perfect type of wedding. Nick was quick to point out that of the many weddings he has been to (as I haven't been to any since I was a kid) that this was not the norm. We both agreed that all weddings should be so personal. Their vows were so touching and brought at tear to everyone's eye, as well as made everyone laugh.
I should have listed the music somewhere sorry!
1. "I'm Alive" by ELO=playing as we arrive.
2. "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado- when Libby walks down the aisle.
3. "I Wanna Get Married" by Nellie Mckay- A truly GREAT artist who is quirky and slightly crazy. This is such a fun song.
4. "(I've Had) The Time of My Life"- Who doesn't love a little Dirty Dancing? It was one of Libby's favorite movies when we were growing up so I couldn't resist.

INCREDIBLE! Your video editing skills are imacculate, Matt. Though I slightly scare myself several times, I think that you did a great job with all of it. Too bad The Winger doesn't cover weddings, because this would be one of their most-read posts if it did. Kisses!
