The offbeat bride: Jessica, Photographer
Her offbeat partner: Matthew, Musician & Photographer
Location & date of wedding: Mashamoquet State Park, Pomfret CT. 10/7/2006
What made our wedding offbeat: We decided to get married after having seen each other in person only five times (over a year and a half) and burning through countless verizon cell-to-cell minutes. We had only two months to plan the wedding, and I (the bride) was living in California while the groom and the wedding was in Connecticut. I arrived in Connecticut four days before the wedding and thankfully had family and friends who handled all the preparations while Matthew and I generally freaked out.

Remember the wedding with cue cards? Here's the full story!
The offbeat bride: Yolkai, Mama, crafter, delicious food maker
Her offbeat groom: Anthony/Ackshawn, Teacher, K-8 Behavior Specialist
Location & date of wedding: Isis Oasis Sanctuary, a retreat center with an Egyptian theme in Geyserville, CA.
What made our wedding offbeat:We did it our way! After six years and a baby together we wanted the public declaration, the fancy outfits, and the big fun party! We chucked most of the mainstream wedding crap and held on to a few sweet traditions. Pretty much everything, from the invitations to the interpretive dance, was an expression of our style, our silliness, and our values.

Remember Raina, the autumn bride who wore her mom's dress? Here's the full scoop on her library wedding!
The offbeat bride: Raina, Graphic Designer
Her offbeat groom: Mike / freelance photographer & TV production guy
Location & date of wedding: The Clayville town library in Clayville, NY
What made our wedding offbeat: We really wanted to save a lot of money and keep it simple, simple, SIMPLE! We only had 7 people at the ceremony besides the two of us.
We did it at the tiny library in the town I grew up in. It was perfect because it was so small on the inside, and it happed to be a church at one point which lent itself to the layout of the ceremony well. We didn't have a religious ceremony but it was kind of cute to be in an old church turned library (and my job involves designing book jackets, so it was extra special!).
