Jaci and Jason got married on the first day of a music festival, leaving the next three days free for celebrating. Their ceremony took place at the campgrounds of Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, with a friend in a full priest costume conducting proceedings.

Festivals have been part of their relationship for years, so choosing one for their wedding came easily. “It was perfect for us”, Jaci said. “Festivals are somewhere we feel ourselves and they’re important to us and our relationship. We got married the first day of the fest and had the entire three days to celebrate! People were giving us little gifts all weekend and made us feel so special. It’s our happy place and seemed like a no brainer for us.”

Jaci carried a crochet bouquet and Jason wore a matching boutonniere. Their outfits were not from wedding specific places either which really kept the costs down. Their biggest expense was their rings, which they chose because they wanted something one-of-a-kind.

After the ceremony posed for photographs wearing clown noses, juggled together and finished with Jason wheeling Jaci away in a wagon with a Just Married sign attached. Their friend’s priest costume also fitted right in. “I think traditional weddings are too serious!” the bride concluded. “People need to loosen up and be silly and connect with their inner child.”
