Her offbeat partner: Eddie, Master Carpenter

Date and location of wedding: Camberley's Garden at Bicentennial Gardens and The Loft at Natty Greene's, Greensboro, NC — March 31, 2012

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: When we began planning, we knew four things: the bride would wear red, it would be an outside ceremony, we didn't have a lot of money to spend on it, and we didn't want our friends and family to have to do a lot.

I found the dress I wanted from a great Etsy seller. It was very simple, and something I can wear to the Renaissance Festival.

This wedding is full of eye candy including mug centerpieces with nesting doll favors, handmade clutch purses for the bridesmaids that matched their colorful shoes, and an adorably accurate custom cake topper on their rainbow dot cake! It was obvious that this wedding would be full of music, dashes of crafty goodness, and lots of love. There are also some key bits of advice in this one, including putting a time limit on your ring warming!

A librarian weds a book seller with Edgar Allan Poe details and a post-reception jaunt to a comic book store in Times Square? That's some major book nerdity for this week's Bookish weddings theme. This destination New York City wedding may have had everyone running late, but the scenery and city lights made it all worthwhile.

With papel picado, luchador masks, and mini flags in rainbow colors, you're bound to be in for a fun time. Although this pair had to contend with distressing news during their planning, they managed to find the silver lining that made the day all the richer. Check out this colorful and sweet celebration with a first dance surprise.

After hiring him to color her comics, he colored her world. D'aw! And a theme was born: color! That, along with everything playful and awesome, makes this artsy and geeky wedding a feast for the eyes and fun for all ages. Though a few mishaps were born of Hurricane Irene, somehow it all came together in the end.

Below the mountains of Yosemite, two eco-friendly lovers made a wedding. And boy, is it purty! They met and fell in love there, so it only made sense to celebrate there as well. With handmade pinwheels, fabric flowers, and parasols, this DIYed party is worth a look. And the scenery seals the deal.

Interactive invitations, balloon guitars, high-fiving, and dancing all night, despite a bride with a broken foot! But at least you can still shimmy the night away from the waist up. This wedding has a lot of color, a lot of graphic design fun, and one grandma you just can't keep down.

Things that rock about this wedding: DIY barefoot sandals, hula hoops, scenery to die for (or at least get a ticket from a park ranger for!), infectious smiles, and a motorcycle getaway. When the bridal headpiece is a motorcycle helmet, you know you're dealing with some kick-ass people.
