Rachel Borwegen and Andrew Jaworski wed last month in Belvidere, New Jersey. The party, photographed by Abigail Gingerale photography, featured taco truck offerings for dinner and ice cream for dessert.

The movie playing was "Twister" starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The bride and groom wanted to show a familiar film so there wasn't added pressure to pay close attention.
