We celebrating Friday the 13th with a wedding that is both a Friday the 13th wedding AND our first Kansas wedding!

The Offbeat Bride: Kristen, Greenhouse Peon

Her Offbeat Partner: Derek, Greenhouse Peon also

Location & date of wedding: Courthouse / Park Building Reception, Kansas — Friday the 13th, February 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: We got married on a Friday the 13th to commemorate our first date, which was also on Friday the 13th. Luckily our families know we're a little off, so the black Chinese cheongsam dress and matching jacket (Ebay) and the skeleton cake topper didn't even cause them to bat an eyelash.

The Offbeat Bride:
Tiffany, Librarian
(and OBT member "TippyLooHoo")

Her Offbeat Partner:
Brandon, Electrician

Location & date of wedding:
Friday the 13th, March 2009
Kilworth Memorial Chapel in Tacoma, WA & BPIC in Browns Point, WA.

What made our wedding offbeat: One of the biggest things that made our wedding offbeat was that it was on a Friday the 13th. And our colors reflected that: orange, black, purple, and white. We tried to do everything as cheap as possible. I bought most of our decorations, supplies, etc. on Ebay. We decorated everything ourselves. I made my very own nearly flowerless bouquet. We didn't use tradition music for the ceremony. Oh, and all of my bridesmaids were men.

The Offbeat Bride: Rebekah Borucki, Studio Manager, Justin Borucki Photography (and OBT member "Rebekah")

Her Offbeat Partner: Justin Borucki, Photographer

Location & date of wedding: Woodloch Pines Resort, Pocono Mountains, Hawley, Pennsylvania — January 23, 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding could not have been more perfectly "us." Justin is a Brooklyn boy with country tastes and I'm a Jersey girl and mom of three, and there was not one part of the wedding from the decor to the music that didn't echo those descriptions. We decided from the very beginning that this wedding would be for our guests with an emphasis on fun.

Her offbeat partner: Kevin, Good Ol' N'Awlins Musician

Location & date of wedding: St. Anthony of Padua (ceremony) and the Benachi House (reception) in New Orleans, LA on October 11th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: Not my first time around but his and he's in the music biz and almost 50! So it HAD to be a production. Balloons, pinatas, rubber duckies in the 100 year old fountains…

The offbeat bride: Kelly, Business Consultant

Her offbeat partner: Cory, Musician

Location & date of wedding: On the beautiful white beaches of Navarre, Florida down below our beach house, on September 27th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: Well… we could probably start with the bride wearing black. The lady (myself) wore a 1950's Rockabilly, classic black & red satin & polka dot strapless dress with boned bodice and a hem that hit below the knees AND I purchased it for under $100.00 which was totally awesome!
