THE PARTY They gifted their
groomsmen with rainbow-colored Ray-Bans, resulting in epic pride shots as the wedding party was introduced at the reception to “It’s Raining Men.” “Since they are all straight, we thought it was funny,” laughs Glen. Hilarity ensued throughout the night thanks to their hand-selected playlist, an RSVP Hall of Fame that showcased the Best Of from guests’ RSVP responses (funny sayings encouraged, of course) and honey “bears” as wedding favors. The day was a true reflection of the couple, but not without effort. “Leaving nothing to chance, we really worked hard to plan out every detail of our wedding because we wanted the day to run as smoothly as possible, which it did,” explains Dan. “From detailing exactly what music we wanted played to providing pictures of every centerpiece, we worked with our vendors to make sure they knew what we wanted.” “And how much we complemented each other as we planned the wedding,” adds Glen. “He took some of my ideas and added to them to make them better and I to his. Then seeing it all come together as we planned and go off without a hitch. But the most important part was sharing in the best day of my life with friends and family, and getting married to my best friend.”
