Thanks to Jessamyn for sending us a link to her shots from her sister-in-law's incredible vegan, goth wedding. Alyssa and Brian got married and in Geyserville, CA.

So, yeah, killer dress, obviously, and we love a tattooed bride, but there's so much more! Like check out that veil…

I freaking LOVE the little patterns in the netting.

The offbeat bride: Cass, Graphic Designer (and OBT member "Cass")

Her offbeat partner: Liam, Airodrome Operator

Location & date of wedding: Sydney, Australia, The Queen Victoria Building –Aug 14 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: I think of our wedding as "left of centre"… but i guess thats offbeat. I think what made our wedding unique was that it was such a blend of Liam and my personalities.

Everything looked normal at a glance but when you had a second look you could see the quirks, like… inside the oh-so-elegant and grown-up looking guest gifts was something that can only be described as a "little kids party bag." Or we had actually spray painted the flowers in my very traditionally shaped bridal bouquet to have black edging. The ceremony was no exception, while it was held in a church it was such a non-churchy ceremony and had more laughs than the local comedy store.

Remember when we introduced you to the "My Black Wedding" wedding? Well, here's the whole scoop behind the beautifully goth celebration…

The Offbeat Bride: Olga, Web Designer

Her Offbeat Partner: Sergei, Network Engineer

Location & date of wedding: Ascension Wine Estate, Matakana, New Zealand — 8.05.2009

What made our wedding offbeat: We decided on black rings, black dress, no cake, no dances, and a non-traditional gothic style wedding (although we are not hardcore goths). We also decided to make all the decorations, invitations, etc., ourselves to make sure none of the mainstream stuff would get in.

To celebrate the season, we're featuring a Halloween wedding every week for the month of October!

The Offbeat Bride: Misty, CNA

Her Offbeat Partner: Dell, Repo Man

Location & date of wedding: Meditation Garden at the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, VA — October 31, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We definitely bucked tradition by having a handfasting in the ceremony, having wine in a dragon goblet (the last of which was offered to Mother Earth) and invoking the Lord and Lady to bless our union! Add to that a multi-faith Reverend who is a female, and the Witchy-Gothy wedding was complete!
