Tiffany and Tony's Getting Married Story

"I have to speculate that God himself has made us into corresponding shapes, like puzzle pieces from the clay."
~"Such Great Heights," The Postal Service

On May 12, 2006, Tiffany Donae and Anthony Joseph eloped to Pacific Grove, California, in a private ceremony attended by, well, no one.
The ceremony took place just before sunset on a secluded beach in Pacific Grove. The processional song was "Question" by Rhett Miller, and the ceremony was presided over by Reverend Mary Cavaliere. The bride wore a fabulous hot pink, sparkly dress she got from JCPenney's at 75% off, and the groom wore a handsome outfit the couple picked out from Target earlier that day. In true hippie tradition, they went barefoot. The couple exchanged vows they had written themselves (quietly, as the bride had practically no voice), and pledged their love in a Ceremony of Roses. In lieu of rings, they exchanged necklaces as a symbol of their commitment. Following the ceremony, the couple danced their first dance as husband and wife on the beach, to Bright Eye's "First Day of My Life."
Then they ate Elopement Cake from the car. They had their wedding dinner at El Toritos in Monterey, on the pier, and honeymooned, briefly, at Pacific Grove's Lighthouse Inn.
The following day, the couple made an addition to their brand-new, "official" family in the form of Peanut the Puppy.
