There’s nothing better than when a couple ditches tradition and truly makes their wedding day as unique and rare as their beautiful love! Karli and Robert did just that. They sprinkled in a little bit of Star Wars, a zombie apocalypse reference or two, racing elements to pay homage to Robert’s career, and tons of boho decor moments! Design the Day brought their fun wedding vision to life, leaving no detail unturned.
The most inspiring moment? After the groom suffered a terrible racing accident and was told he’d never walk again, he was determined to rise to the occasion and be able to dance at his wedding – and dance he did. To say his story is inspirational would be a serious understatement. And of course, his beautiful wife was right by his side through it all. Head on over to the full gallery for some major happy tears – all taken by Violet Short!
From the Bride… Creepy, geeky, and little bohemian. That was the vibe we were going for. I am pretty confident we ticked all the boxes off! We got married at the Lucas Estates in Carmel, Indiana on September 28th, 2019.
There was a little bit of Star Wars, Game of Thrones, zombies, racing, and romance! There was nothing traditional about our wedding, it was just a perfect mix of both Rob and I. I even referenced the zombie apocalypse in my wedding vows! 😛
Rob actually ran over my train when they announced us as Mr. & Mrs. Wickens for the first time. It was quite the ordeal haha! Luckily, our friend Max saved the day and got my dress out of his wheel without having to cut or rip it!
Another highlight of the wedding was getting to spend time with our amazing wedding party, everyone looked stunning! But the best part of the night was getting to dance with Rob, look how far he has come!
