There were fun times in the Offbeat Flickr Pool and Offbeat Bride Pinterest account. Between the messages in bottles, awesome alternative desserts, Dalek cake toppers, and a Labyrinth reference, I was smitten. Here are the latest reader submissions to our Monday Montage.
Laura and Justin's message in a bottle guest book.
And then there's their vow gag. Ha!

Loving the message in a bottle guest book!
The 100-year-old bride video had me crying at work!

Crap, I want Labyrinth references! Now I'm gonna go through the movie and try to find something appropriate for our non-BDSM marriage, lol. My first thought was Bowie's package, but that definitely won't work.

Oh my god, those are the most heart-warming Daleks I've ever seen. Officiate! Officiate!

100 year old bride and bridegroom – how sweet.
Also finding an accessible venue, not for bride/groom, but for guests. Venues just don't realise. We found one where the inside was flat, could have borrowed a ramp, but no accessible toilet and they'd just refitted the spa/gym area! grr
Venu we found had a flat entrance to undercroft(where reception was) and a lift up to ceremony area, great!

when I look at the monday montages on my cellphone, the mobile version of the site doesn't load the cute little captions under each picture – it just shows the intro writing at the top and then the photos 1 below the other.
I use an android phone (samsung transform)
