Heptadecagram & Red_Lynx’s gorgeous Maryland wedding
I’m all a-twitter over the amazing photos and stories from the wedding of two members of the Offbeat Bride DC Wedding Co-op.
…The bride had a sword!
…The groom wooed her with a bowl of brownies he baked that morning!
…They did all their flowers themselves!
…The bride’s entrance was one of the most dramatically beautiful I’ve ever seen.
…The location (Adelphi Mill) was insanely gorgeous!
Basically, you should just go read the groom’s incredibly sweet post about the wedding. I’m going to go lose myself in the photos again, myself…

The dress (Dupioni silk in ivory) was made entirely by Tara-the-bride’s mother, who is a seamstress. My hair and minimal makeup was done by me, hers was accomplished by a professional by the name of Ky Washington.
The rings are stainless steel. In five years, we will renew our vows with silver rings. And in another five years, white gold. And in another five years, platinum. And we intend to keep renewing our vows and upgrading our rings to show our growing value to each of us.
And-and-and, we’re pregnant! With little baby princess!
