Kelley & Mitch’s bicycles, acrobats, and neon formal wear wedding

We previewed this couple’s AMAZING neon bicycle part centerpieces before, but little did we know that we’d also get to see an acrobatic silks performance, an amazingly visual contrast with the venue (that we love!), and even more photos of the centerpiece works of art! Come look and see the neon splendor!

Emily & Aaron’s monochromatic DIYed wedding

The bride lives in black, so her dress totally had to incorporate the color. Add in her blue hair (her “something blue”), gorgeous black and white veil, their classic ride, and a tear-y groom, and you’ve got this gorgeous Aussie wedding with DIY details. Just wait until you see the groom at the beginning of the ceremony. Oh, and wait until you see how a five-year engagement helped them overcome a challenge.

Emily & Greg’s wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey Doctor Who wedding

Our wedding was surprisingly traditional, despite the fact that I’m happily bisexual, Greg is “heteroflexible,” and we’re polyamorous.

Squeeze a little afternoon delight into your wedding day

My husband and I deliberately planned about three hours between the wedding and dinner so that we could have our pictures taken without feeling rushed. After the pictures were done, we still had about forty-five minutes before dinner. So we went back to our hotel room to relax and ended up having some pretty great post-wedding sex.

The Day of the Doctor is coming in honor of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. What better way to relish one of our fave fandoms than to have a Doctor Who theme week? Today we’ve got a vintage dress, a huge homemade Dalek (and mini flower girl Dalek!), and a wedding guide made for us to “not panic!” It’s a sci-fi wedding… so say us all!
