Since we had each kicked back a shot of whiskey and swallowed down a donut (two in my case), we went with the name &#8216;Whiskey &amp; Donuts&#8217; aka &#8216;Team WaD.&#8217; Fun Fact: A shot of whiskey at 8am tastes much different than it does at 8pm.&#8221;The couple shared their custom-made engagement announcement video on their website as well.At the outdoor ceremony,\u00a0Benny and Nathan&#8217;s parents walked out together, followed by Benny. Then, the &#8216;Grease&#8217; song &#8220;You&#8217;re the One That I Want&#8217; was played and Benny and Nathan did a lip-sync performance to the hit.The newlyweds embraced their Texas woodland wedding theme by dressing up as does, complete with deer-print suit jackets. The day&#8217;s decor featured a wide variety of custom art from rabbit sculptures to hanging fixtures.\u00a0Performances, a protester, a WWE wrestler, commissioned artwork, drag queens and videos from music celebrities filled the day with entertainment. Benny and Nathan&#8217;s mothers had a lip-sync challenge to see who would get to dance with her son. Little did they know that both were going to be the winner.A cake with a wood-looking exterior was served, topped with custom white chocolate fox cub skulls. For a couple who fell in love over donuts, it was only fitting that donuts were served at the wedding as well!Guests used metallic pens to sign the all-black guest book, and were treated to a unique photo booth experience that took pictures and created quick sketches of the images as well.                              From the couple:\u00a0Our wedding was woodland-themed with faux taxidermy creatures we created that were inspired by our artist friend Liz McGrath. The wedding wasn&#8217;t your standard stuffy wedding. We invited guests to participate throughout as this was not just a celebration about us, but a celebration of love.Vendors:Photographer:\u00a0Ryan AdkinsWedding venue:\u00a0Prospect HouseFlorist:\u00a0Zinnia &amp; CompanyPlanner:\u00a0Nathan and BennyEntertainment: Big DipperInvitations: Gardiner Rhoderick with artwork from Liz McGrath and Beth CavenerAttire:\u00a0Custom jacket created by Project Runway designer Daniel EsquivelCatering:\u00a0Noble SandwichDonuts: Gourdough&#8217;sCake: Sugar Shaker BakeryCake topper: Britain&#8217;s Conjurer&#8217;s KitchenJewelry:\u00a0Snash Jewelry &#8211; custom piecesVideographer:\u00a0Adam Grumbo FilmsOfficiant: Spike Gillespie"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Whiskey and donuts Texas woodland wedding","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/whiskey-and-donuts-texas-woodland-wedding\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
