Wedding at Hotel Carmichael, Carmel, Indiana

Two grooms celebrated their wedding at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, Indiana, on July 25, 2026. Music ran through the whole day. Both grooms play, and a display near the entrance showed photos of them with their instruments, while the sound of a clarinet carried through the reception.

Instead of a guest book, the couple set up a rotary telephone where guests could pick up the receiver and leave a recorded message for them to listen to later.

Two artists sketched 88 guests during the reception. Portraits went out at a steady pace, and guests took them back to their tables to show the people around them.
