I love how her black dress with white sash exactly matches his black suit with white tie.

Not only were there a lot of Converse All-Stars worn at this wedding, but they got married by a monk wearing sneakers.

Lots more photos over here!

Members of the OBT already know Kat — she’s one of my beloved moderators! Here’s the full story on her awesome Solistice wedding

The offbeat bride: Kat, bookseller and OBT moderator

Her offbeat partner: James, writer

Location & date of wedding: My dad & step-mum’s house, Lantzville, BC. June 21, 2008, Summer Solstice

What made our wedding offbeat: We managed to pull off a spectacular wedding with a very limited budget and a lot of help from our families and friends. Our visibly offbeat elements included my red dress and glittery Betsey Johnson shoes, the men’s Converse shoes and skull ties, my bridesmen, our Buffy & Angel cake topper and our Handfasting.

The real offbeat aspect was that the wedding was 100% a reflection of the two of us. Having a handfasting was really important to me, and my non-Wiccan husband was totally into it. Our ceremony was officiated by two women and I was walked down the aisle by both my parents, elements that reflected our feminist values.

…and adorable rockabilly grooms with pompadours and chucks don’t hurt, either.

You can see lots more pictures over here, and read about the wedding on LiveJournal. (Thanks to Dana C for emailing me about this!)

I guess I’m on a colored crinoline & wedding hat kick this week.

(HA! I said KICK! And look at the picture here … where they appear to be kicking! Totally unintentional stupid pun, I swear.)

Painful puns aside … speaking of kicks, how cute are the bride and groom’s shoes?

The offbeat bride: Meagan, artist

Her offbeat partner: Nigel, logistics analyst

Location & date of wedding: The Plantation, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. May 10, 2008.

What made our wedding offbeat: The first thing offbeat about us is that we are a mixed couple in South Africa. Thankfully, this is slowly becoming more accepted here. We first chose a theme of “black and red/joker” using a deck of cards as our inspiration, then planned our wedding around that. I made everything thing that I could such as the invites, menus, table runners, even my veil and the vintage head-pieces for the bridesmaids.
