Coolest Backyard Food Truck Wedding Ever

COOLEST BACKYARD FOOD TRUCK WEDDING EVER

They had me at “Backyard Wedding,” and again at “Food Truck Wedding,” and again with every damn detail of this incredible day. Like, customized masks for guests!?! Ceviche apps and guacamole and a Taco Truck? The details were already amazing, but Rachel and Caitlin’s personalities took this wedding from amazing to one of my all-time favorites.

They had their first look at the airbnb, and afterwards, we did some portraits in the backyard. This was one of those times that I wish I could do a comparison of what the location looked like behind the scenes and what magic we captured in pictures. Sure, the airbnb was pretty, but there were a lot of colorful chairs and lawn furniture and distracting elements in the yard. So, I tucked the couple into an overgrown bush and had them sit on an end table 🤣

What can I say? When it works it works!

By this point, it was time to drive over to the ceremony location at a friend of the couple’s home. Just WOW. Heather from Blushing Designs and Emily from Connolly House Events put on such a cool and classy event. The social distancing was made fun with custom face masks and adorable hand-lettered signage.

But even the stunning decor paled in comparison to the beautiful ceremony officiated by their friend Ashley. Rachel and Caitlin exchanged their vows and I was awestruck by the poetry of their words. I mean, just read them:

I Rachel take you Caitlin to be my wife from this day forward. You strengthen my weaknesses and bring focus to my dreams. You are loyal and full of adventure. Your mind is a rainbow and you walk like champagne- the perfect balance of entertainment and repose. You are the color gold in all of its shades and I walk wholeheartedly into this life with you.

I promise to be faithful and honest,
To treat you with respect and honor you as my wife
To help you be your best self, and forgive you when you are not
To fill our life with warmth and adventure
To chase you up the mountain knowing you will follow me back down
To hold you and be held by you for as long as we live.

I Caitlin take you Rachel to be my wife from this day forward. You strengthen my weaknesses and bring focus to my dreams. You are fierce and tough, beautiful, and strong. Consistently, you prove to be the best protector around. In a land of sweeping sand, you are my solid ground and I walk wholeheartedly into this life with you.

I promise to be faithful and honest,
To treat you with respect and honor you as my wife
To help you be your best self, and forgive you when you are not
To fill our life with warmth and adventure
To pace you up the mountain knowing you will lead me back down.
To hold you and be held by you for as long as we live.

And then… FOOD TRUCK TACO reception!!!! Margaritas were poured, DJ Tess played the jams, and although COVID might have forced Rachel and Caitlin to change their original wedding plans, I’m pretty sure that this backyard food truck wedding will go down in history as one of the best days ever.
