The offbeat bride: Katie, architectural student (and Tribe member)

Her offbeat partner: Ryan, software developer

Location & date of wedding: Courtyard Restaurant, Ottawa, Canada — April 1, 2010

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: We only planned the wedding for two months. We just didn't think we could bear 14 months of planning. I bought a long dress which I then had shortened to just below my knees. (One seamstress said it was the biggest mistake I would ever make.) Because of time and money constraints, we did everything ourselves. We had a candy and cookie bar for favors, huge three-foot balloons everywhere, and elephant wooden signs that I made at school. We also love board games, so we decided to make a few easy party games for guests to do. We made a six-sided puzzle, Mad Libs, Trivial Pursuit-style questions, and personalized Fluxx.

A ruby red dress, a steampunk-inspired key theme, and a bunch of board games?! Add on some ultra elegance and crazy hat-wearing, snowball-fighting madness, and I'm sold.

Clarissa and Sam were inspired by the Harlem Renaissance to create this edgy, playful wedding complete with a naked sushi lady, movies, and games.

Haley & Patrick are lucky in the sense that both of their parents were very supportive of their offbeat-ness. This allowed them to have their wedding day their way. So, they had a quaker ceremony, followed by a reception filled with games and dancing!
