Lights, camera, action! Susan and Ryan celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception on the stage at the New Hazlett Theater in Pittsburgh. Their ceremony was perfectly planned with professional lighting, sound crew, and a bagpipe player who led their guests into the theater.

I love seeing the bride and groom's personalities shine through their wedding day with their ideas and creativity. Ryan and Susan did so with Q & A on wine bottles about themselves and members in their wedding party.

Below are more fun ideas the bride and groom incorporated during their wedding day.
