10 bad-ass bespectacled brides (and some grooms in glasses!)

It’s been awhile since we had a collection of brides in spectacles, so I thought it was high time for another look. We definitely get a lot of them in our real life weddings, so we know it’s popular among our Offbeat Brides. Plus, there’s a helping of grooms in glasses too.
