Wedding: September 18, 2016
Honeymoon: New Zealand and Australia
Two years after Michelle Bradley and Drake Paul met on OkCupid, they found themselves celebrating their engagement as the sun rose over the Grand Canyon. Michelle was afraid she might drop her new ring into the canyon, so Drake slid it on her trembling hand. Then the couple set about planning an easygoing wedding full of personal touches. Their dog Ruby wore a GoPro during her walk down the aisle as “flower dog.” Both mothers prepared a reading and Drake broke a glass at the end of their ceremony to honor his Jewish heritage. Michelle’s dad made custom bean bag-toss sets and a life-size Jenga that doubled as a guestbook. The vintage Drey and Atlas mason jars holding the floral centerpieces were another sentimental touch—Michelle’s dad is Drey and Drake’s mom’s maiden name is Atlas. Michelle especially loved the 45-foot-long chandelier made of vines and fairy lights that twinkled overhead till the stars came out over Camrose Hill Farm.
