Some wedding days go exactly as planned. Others throw a curveball and still manage to be completely perfect. Fallon and Ben’s backyard celebration was a beautiful reminder that when you focus on love, joy, and being your full unapologetic selves—nothing can throw you off course. Even a tornado warning.
Fallon and Ben turned a familiar space into something magical. Their backyard was transformed into an intimate, laughter-filled setting that radiated love. Fallon hadn’t seen the setup until she walked out of the bridal suite—and the look on her face said it all: “It was everything I hoped for and more.”
There was trust, love, and a whole lot of heart poured into every detail—and it showed.
From poetry by Goethe and Tolkien to Dungeons & Dragons dice in place of the usual clinking glasses, this wedding celebrated everything that made Fallon and Ben Fallon and Ben. Their vows were filled with personal nods to video games and shared stories—emotional, meaningful, and just the right amount of geeky charm.
It was fun, intentional, and deeply authentic.
Sure, the weather had plans of its own—humid skies, a few sunny moments, and eventually a full-blown storm. But rather than let it dampen their spirits, these two turned the moment into something beautiful.
Their first dance? In the rain, under an umbrella. No playlist. No spotlight. Just pure connection and a moment that honestly felt like something out of a movie.
The sparkler exit was everything you want at the end of a wedding—light, laughter, and maybe a little chaos (thanks to a very enthusiastic father-in-law). But that just made the photos and memories even more unforgettable.
Every guest brought the energy, and every moment felt soaked in joy—even when the weather brought a few surprises.
Fallon: “Our wedding day was perfect. I couldn’t stop smiling.”
Ben: “Seeing Fallon walk down the aisle was my favorite part of the day.”
Their advice for other couples?
“Break traditions—make your own wedding traditions.”
“Don’t stress the little stuff. Focus on the things that really matter.”
