These Two Lobsters Were Meant to Be

David and Monica’s wedding story began at Disneyland because, who doesn’t love the happiest place on earth. “David wanted to make Disney a part of our love story. (He) thought it’d be a magical place to propose.” The couple enjoyed several dates to the park and then this happened.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse props made it into their photo booth pics along with princess hats and tiaras. The metallic gold backdrop made sure the fairy tale look was complete.

There’s also a story behind the Hawaiian details of their big day, like the “Just Mauied” sign and the graphics of lobsters that made their way onto the wedding party’s socks. ( Here they are at a Lobster Fest in paradise. )

“David and I are huge Friends fans. There’s a great episode where two of the main characters Ross and Rachel finally end up together and they are referred to as lobsters. It refers to the person of whom another is meant to be with forever. The term originated due to the fact that lobsters mate for life. (At least, according to Phoebe). During the wedding ceremony our rings were blessed with a Hawaiian blessing. We have a strong family connection to Hawaii. So lobster socks (and Sea Life socks for the groomsmen) also went with that theme.”

The #marriedtomusser wedding was held at Milagro Farms Winery outside of San Diego, CA. It was a perfect sunny, socal day; the ideal setting for an outdoor wedding. The purples, greens and golds used for the color scheme matched perfectly with the venue’s vineyard backdrop. Monica and her bridal party had their makeup done by Dina Bree of SoCal Hair and Makeup.
