The groom wore a kilt, we both had foxtails and the groomsmen (aka. torchbearers) wore sarongs and carried symbols of a nature element.

What made our wedding offbeat: We took advantage of the whole 'once-in-a-lifetime' bit and made an event that was truly memorable for us and all of our friends and family. We decided that our budget wasn't going to get in the way, so most of our decorations were hand-made to save money. We did splurge with food and an open bar, and friends helped us cut costs by volunteering to make cakes, DJ, and take photos. Sophie's dad officiated the wedding.
