Plumbing-Themed Weddings

This Unconventional Couple Chose a Unique Wedding Theme

— June 5, 2013 — Lifestyle
This couple takes the cake for their unique wedding theme. After all, have you ever heard of a plumbing-themed wedding? Tracy and Michael's theme goes beyond just having their ceremony at Boston's Plumbing Museum. The couple wholeheartedly committed to the theme, embracing PVC pipe napkin holders and floral centerpieces with floating plumbing parts.

To make things even more wacky, the groom was suited up as Pee Wee Herman for his big day. Tracy and Michael are clearly an unconventional couple that chose to forego traditions like the bouquet toss, cutting the cake and any other manner of formality.

Although this concept would be unappealing for some brides, Tracy jests: "I’m probably the first bride to be told, ‘We’ll move these urinals out of the way the day of your wedding.'"
