Elle and Spor live in San Francisco, and decided to get married far north in rural Mendocino county. A gorgeous winery called Pacific Star created an amazing space with a bluff overlooking the Pacific and a 1000-foot drop to the water. Jessamyn Harris photographed the day and shared these details with us.

Check out the gothic style rooted in punk rock and a backdrop made in seaside heaven.

Are you up for some major geekiness, some DIY projects, some fairies, and a watermelon Death Star? Oh, you are? Cool, this one's for you. And you might <3 the less-than-three cake topper. Be prepared.

When you're gamers, metalheads, and all-around cool people, you can make an equally cool wedding with gothic details, a lovely black gown, and burlesque performers. But this pair also had to deal with mountains of snow keeping their guests trapped at home! Good thing they knew how to live stream it all from their laptop. Technology saves the day!

An authentic taco bar, a garage rock band, and the most awesome hand-illustrated invitation… need I say more? This South-of-the-border-influenced bash boasted lots of fun details and a gorgeous seaside ceremony. And you'll love the bride's Burning Man-inspired flaming copper flower bouquet!

On my wedding profile, I got a question from one reader who asked "what type of metal did you play that the guests could tolerate all night?" The answer is, well, EVERY TYPE! You have to play all types of metal for those non-metal heads to the pros.
