Turns out Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is one of her favorite paintings of all time, so she jumped on using it as the theme for her wedding. The color scheme works, it's classic and romantic, and it'll be tasteful enough to appeal to the majority of her wedding guests, I should think.
We're also adding a little twist; a Tim Burton twist. While not wanting to have a spooky/Halloween/undead-themed wedding, Tia does love Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas and always wanted them to top her cake. I found the COOLEST custom-etch-able crystal cake topper that features the Jack and Sally silhouette on the curly hilltop that you can order with the wedding date and couple names. BAD ASS. Also, I suggested we work up a rendition of Starry Night crossed with the moment they grasp hands with that big golden moon behind them and then use that for the invites and decorations.
I'm thinking while the wedding party and groom walk down the aisle, the musicians (no pre-recorded music allowed at Lourdes, Jesus forfend) can play "Jack's Lament" because it speaks of longing, and anyway it's instrumental only, and then when Tia walks down the aisle, they can play the refrain from "Sally's Song".

Anyway, I'm looking forward to throwing all this shiz together and making it work. OMG MY BRAIN ESPLODES WITH IDEARS!!!
You can tell I mean it because of the poor spelling, capital letters, and redundant punctuation.
