You might remember OBT member Ang from her series, "How to Broadcast your Wedding Live on the Web" (so far we're two posts in and have two more to go!). Here is Ang's beautiful wedding.
 The Offbeat Bride: Ang, Bingo Chat Mod, Event Planner wanna-be (and OBT member Ang)
Her offbeat partner: Matt, Automotive Technician, Musician
Location & date of wedding: Bethany Covenant Church, Bedford, NH — 11/14/2009
What made our wedding offbeat: The main theme of this wedding was low maintenance. I wanted to ENJOY the wedding process, not be miserable and stressed the whole time. It was hard, but it happened! After that was the budget of $5,000. I know that other brides have done it on smaller budgets, but I was ecstatic with what we were able to accomplish.

 The offbeat bride: Monica
Her offbeat partner: Paul
Location & date of wedding: Rochester United Methodist Church, Rochester, IL — 07/07/07
What made our wedding offbeat: The first thing everyone notices is my green and black dress. I designed it and my friend Rachel made it, as well as all the bridesmaids' dresses. Also coordinated to my dress was my cast I had on my left hand/arm that covered my left ring & pinky fingers! I fell and broke my hand exactly two weeks before the wedding! The designs on it were a coordinated effort from my dressmaker and a haunted house airbrush artist, with a matching "bracelet" made by yours truly.
