Shaun and Jake tied the knot at St. Peter's Church, right across the street from their apartment in Philadelphia. This was also the exact church that George Washington worshiped in, which the groom was really excited about.

Philly has a special place in both their hearts.

Shaun and Jake didn't let rain drops damper their spirits one bit on their romantic day. It actually added extra character to their wedding album.

The bridal party enjoyed celebratory drinks on the trolley from church to the reception, held at Hamilton Garden at the Kimmel Center.

What better way to get an awesome feel of the city?

The bride fell in love with the idea of guests sitting together at a big, cozy table.

The cake knife was a special family heirloom.

And who doesn't love divine red velvet wedding cake?
