HOW THEY MET their parents introduced them

HE PROPOSED on stage at the Akin Theatre in Yakima, right after the play Michael was in, Barefoot in the Park

NUMBER OF ATTENDANTS 5

NUMBER OF GUESTS 190

COLORS CHOSEN WERE bright pink, yellow and orange

THEY SPENT THE NIGHT AT the cute cabin at American Homestead

THEN HONEYMOONED on a 7-day cruise to the Caribbean, Nassau, Bahamas, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and St. Maarten • Traditional or unusual wedding? “Pretty traditional, but a lot of personal touches made it unique.”

FAVORITE MOMENTS Throughout the ceremony, Michael and guests would look toward the sky, wondering if the rain would hold off. It rumbled a couple times, but held off right until the pastor said, “I now introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Liddicoat.” Guests ran for the barn and into the reception site.

AT THE RECEPTION there was karaoke and a photo booth.

THEIR FAVORITE MEMORIES “waiting with my dad to walk me down the aisle” • seeing the reception hall decorated • everyone dancing to Shout! and singing along • Katie’s sister gave a maid-of-honor toast, which Katie said, “brought me to tears” • “our first dance” • Cutting the cake to the song, Sugar, Sugar • Leaving the reception to a line of guests with sparklers
