JC & Allen’s Whovian Wonderland wedding

A little Alice in Wonderland, a smidge of Doctor Who, and two geeky kids in the Philippines tie the knot, geek-style. With a pink princess gown, little Alices and Ums running around, and some crafty projects, there was no way this wasn’t going to be fun. Not even a typhoon warning was stopping it. Oh, and wait until you hear about the family’s first dance starring an Xbox!

Danielle & Rob’s pin-up style-meets-comic books wedding

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Offbeat Bride’s comic book-clad and caped superhero theme week! Get in the telephone booth and change into your wedding-gawking superhero tights — you’re in for crime-fighting fun. Today we’re looking at two retro and nerdy birds who combined these two loves into a kick-ass party. Think DIY flowers, a classic car, and a life-size Spider-Man and Mary Jane cut-out! Oh, and just wait until you see the daddy/daughter first look.

Casey & Chad’s family-friendly magical Harry Potter wedding

We love us some Harry Potter weddings for all the the fun details: owl save the date card, Marauders’ Map-inspired directions card, Daily Prophet program, Chocolate Frog favors, homemade ribbon wands, and of course, a huge, Harry Potter-themed sweets table! Just keep the underage wizards from the booze table!

Sarah & James’ tree-planting rainbow geeky wedding

We teased this couple’s epic fantasy cake, and you guys made it clear that the rest of the wedding must be seen. And seen it shall be! Prepare yourself for pom-poms, glow sticks, rainbow brollies, wishing trees, and silly and awkward ceremony reading photos.
