Teaser for Nadine and Alex's formal but funky wedding
Here's a quick tease of Nadine and Alex's wedding, which we'll be doing a full profile of next week:
I've written in the past about jewelry for brides with stretched lobes, and I gotta say these two completely redefine just how formal large-gague piercings can look.

I also absolutely love how Nadine and Alex show that you can go full-formal on your wedding and still have a lot of fun.

The photos were taken in Rottweil, Germany. And unfortunately the bride did not include any photographer information in her profile.

For anyone freaking out over the use of the swastika on Marc's site, you'll note that the symbol is used with the dots that make it the traditional Hindu version.

I'll be wearing 0gauge plugs at my wedding in June.
They're a beautiful couple, very classic looking even with the unique accessories!
