Joanna & Julian’s book-themed bilingual pub wedding

Jenny & Damon’s quirky steampunk Buddhist wedding

There are a lot of things to love about this wedding like the bride’s silver and blue dress, the groom’s monocle and cane, and the surprising sake ceremony. But frankly, I’m in it for the doughnut cake and glow sticks. There is definitely something for everyone at this creative shindig.
