Wedding trend I’m in love with right now: Save-the-date videos. My wife’s cousin and his fiancee made a horror-themed video, and it was genius.
My favorite part of my wedding: Spending all day with the people I care about most. That and our cake topper, which had a couple of custom-made felt critters on it.
Favorite date night spot: Bleu Boheme.
