Real Wedding: Lisa & Jim

I love Lisa & Jim. They reminded me a lot of me and my husband - they had divided Michigan & Michigan State loyalties, they wanted their wedding to be a day-long celebration, and they just couldn't wait to be married. Did I mention that Lisa is a die-hard Wolverine and Jim is a die-hard Spartan? Clearly I was the right planner for this couple. (Go Green!)

Lisa & Jim chose bright, bold colors of orange, pink and green to give their wedding an energetic, happy feel. I don't think they stopped smiling and laughing the entire day, and their guests packed the dance floor until the very end of the night.

Check out the wedding trailer from the very talented Lee Thomas Films.

Lisa's uncle, a competitor in a Food Network Challenge, created a special fruit display for the wedding.

The reception featured a "Battle of the Fight Songs", where guests would drop dollar bills into the jars to get the DJ to play their school fight song. The proceeds benefited a charity committed to fighting cancer.
