Indeed it was a combination of the formal and informal. Instead of celebrating the standard reception-style moments like the bouquet toss, the couple opted for a music-filled atmosphere, which was exactly what they received. The evening was capped off by an unforgettable, spur-of-the-moment dance-off instigated by Brian’s former rugby teammates. “It was just a bunch of wild guys running the show,” Melissa remembers. “It was spontaneous and fun; a great time.” So spontaneous in fact that even the bride herself went up to her room to change into more groove-able clothing. (There really is a first for everything.) Brian and Melissa continued to celebrate their nuptials on their three-day honeymoon at the RitzCarlton in Half Moon Bay.
