So, how's married life? —

I love Sarah's photographic answer. (Oh and PS: How cute was Sarah's dress!? DAMN!)

DSC_0729I loves me some color coordination, and Torey Flowers' purple nuptials fit into that fetish perfectly. Look at her awesome purple dress, complete with purple sequins and floaty purple skirt! Look at the coordinating purple veil and bouquet! Check out the purple arch under which she said her vows! And of course, Torey's purple hair. The purple theme even extended to her purple tattoo!

Check out all Torey's photos over here.

Non-Traditional Wedding Cakes —

There's now a whole Flickr group dedicated to non-trad wedding cakes. Lots of great ideas in there, although it's heavily angled toward tiered fondant cakes. If you're asking me, this is still the best "wedding cake" I've ever seen.

brussels sprout and asparagus centerpieceYay for Riona (of Godawful Wedding Crap fame) and her gorgeous veggie-rich centerpieces. This one features brussels sprout and asparagus, but she also had peppers and radishes as part of her floral centerpieces at her 2006 wedding.

What I want to know is whether guests started nibbling on the centerpieces.

So, here's an experiment for you — instead of writing my advice, I decided to try just doing it via video. Lemme know what you think of the format.

My fiancé's family (mother, father, brother etc.) are protesting our wedding. They say it is not because of us, it is because they do not believe in gay marriage (ass-holes!) How do we go about filling in the holes? we are both very close with my family and they will be playing major roles in the wedding. We are having a hard time incorporating my family without putting a huge red spotlight on my fiancé's lack of family. For clarification, my fiancé considers herself the Groom, and me the Bride, which only matters in terms of roles her family would have filled. -Lara
