Andy & Danylle said their vows, blissfully walked through a shower of rose petals, then jumped on a crazy-awesome dutch-style bike along with 30 of their closest friends and family–all on bikes or in pedicabs–and cruised off to their reception. Their wedding bike parade wound through Portland’s Eastside from the Old Laurelhurst Church before crossing the Hawthorne Bridge & taking over an entire lane downtown as they approached the Portland Art Museum for a stunning reception.  We can’t think of a much better way to celebrate a marriage!
