Each week, we feature a couple from our latest issue.

Get ready to swoon over a dreamy vintage-chic wedding that effectively sets itself apart from the rest. Cynthia and Nicholas Beyers set up an open bar before the wedding so guests could toast with them during their unique take on the unity ceremony. (They created and drank a pair of Manhattans instead of a more traditional option-you can read more about that in our article on unity ceremonies on page 84 of the current issue.)
The Beyers also got their pup, Olive, in on the fun; she wore a GoPro down the aisle to help capture every angle of the big day. She even helped keep her humans in check by barking "right when the ceremony became super emotional," Cynthia says. "It was perfect timing for a comic relief!"
