Young Couple Had A Summer Camp-Themed Wedding in Washington State

Weddings are all unique in their own way, but this one puts a new twist on destination nuptials.

A young couple decided to have a summer camp-themed wedding, where friends dressed up as camp counselors, played capture the flag and had a s'mores buffet.

Charlotte Massey said her and her husband, Tom Shellum's, goal for their wedding was to create an environment that brought their families together.

"Many of our friends and family were traveling from different faraway places and hadn't met each other yet, and we really wanted them to meet each other and make new friendships. Weddings can go by really quickly, so we wanted to maximize the time that everyone got to spend with each other, and the easiest way to do that was to have everyone stay on site," Massey told "Good Morning America."

The wedding took place over the weekend from June 28 to June 30 in Leavenworth, Washington, where Massey grew up. An array of activities was available for guests such as yoga, trail running, crafts, sports, and nature walks.

Summer camp was a big part of both Massey's and her husband's childhood so they wanted to recreate that nostalgic joyful feeling at their wedding.

"We greeted everyone with ice pops and a name tag lanyard craft project, and that set the tone for a casual and fun weekend," Massey said.

Massey shared a video of her wedding on Instagram where it has over 4.5 million views and thousands of comments from people who loved the idea of a camp-themed wedding.

"I'm devastated that I wasn't invited to this flawlessly executed event," wrote one commenter.

"I want to get married again just so I can do this," wrote another commenter.

The couple still had a formal ceremony and reception at their wedding, but they wanted to focus on celebrating their special day with a weekend full of fun things to do for everyone.

"We wanted our wedding to be a fun and joyful time, and we absolutely accomplished that! The weekend had something for everyone, and we hope more people will get creative and plan weddings that fully represent their personalities," Massey said.
