The offbeat bride: Rachael, DJ/Producer Location & date of wedding: Forest (ceremony) and a haunted 1920’s Log Mansion called Gold Mountain Manor (reception) - Big Bear, CA on September 26th, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: I knew I wanted my wedding to be a little… dark. I didn’t want a full on black and red gothic wedding. I wanted it to look like you were attending a wedding in Victorian times, but not happy bubblegum Main Street at Disneyland Victorian. A little darker, like a haunted mansion!
The offbeat bride: Tanya, Nursery Teacher Her offbeat partner: Gavin, Technical Officer Location & date of wedding: HMS Warrior - Portsmouth, England on March 24th, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We had been together for a while and decided to do the wedding thing our way.

Her offbeat partner: Luke, Fraud Specialist Location & date of wedding: Rotture: Portland, OR- August 31st, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: Geeze, what wasn’t offbeat would have been an easier question. The wedding was concert themed, meaning we got married on stage, to music, in a show venue, distributed tickets, handbills, etc. So many things made this wedding *us*. From our garb (giant red dress & powder blue vintage tux) to the venue (an old warehouse converted into a show venue), to the homemade cupcakes and home-arranged flowers, we managed to get everything we wanted, for dirt cheap, and still made it all look really good.
