speak to me: wedding bells.

no, not for me and ryan, silly.  that would be ridiculous, we're way too young.  on sunday, ryan's cousin becci married her long time boyfriend ian!  they are pretty badass (as evidenced by becci's styling of her wedding dress below) and their wedding definitely had an unofficial old school punk theme.  after a sweet & simple ceremony outdoors among the fruit trees, we headed inside for one of the most fun & unconventional receptions i've ever attended.  the friend of theirs who officiated the ceremony was also the lead singer of the band that played the reception.  he had this total rancid/mighty mighty bosstones throaty punk voice and silly personality and they covered many punk and rock classics.  but for this week's speak to me post, i was inspired by the song that the groom ian sang as a surprise gift to his new bride during the reception.  i present to you "ring of fire " as played by social distortion .  **all photos in this post taken by ryan's brilliant mother, kat from photography by sky**

love is a burning thing

and it makes a fiery ring

bound by wild desire

i fell into a ring of fire

i fell into a burning ring of fire

it went down, down, down and the flames went higher

and it burns, burns, burns

that ring of fire, that ring of fire

the taste of love is sweet

when hearts like ours meet

i fell for you like a child

oh, but the fire went wild

i fell into a burning ring of fire

it went down, down, down and the flames went higher

and it burns, burns, burns

that ring of fire, that ring of fire
