Traditional weddings and customs are becoming less and less expected as the more personality driven preferences become pinterest trends. So wear your ombre wedding gown to your mountaintop elopement, and flaunt your obsidian engagement ring, because it turns out that there’s not a rulebook for weddings and you managed to save thousands of dollars simply by playing by your own rules!
