Brittany and Jen’s backyard wedding was held at a friend’s home in Buckley, Washington. It was complete with an elevated deck that overlooked the altar and served as an awesome dance floor.
During the ceremony, both of their kids gave speeches, and they lit unity candles as a family. After the ceremony, everyone celebrated throughout the evening in a fun reception. The deck was lit up with string lights, and everyone danced. Brittany and Jen even snuck out of the reception to take photos with their vintage Land Cruiser!
