The Offbeat Bride: Bandora Fox, White Collar Hippie (and OBT member "Bandora")

Her Offbeat Partner: Michael Fox, Licensed Massage Therapist

Location & date of wedding: Palm Island, Savannas Recreation Area, Ft Pierce, Florida — August 29th, 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: We had a Pagan handfasting during our own weekend camping festival. The groom wore a kilt, we both had foxtails and the groomsmen (aka. torchbearers) wore sarongs and carried symbols of a nature element.

I love this shot by Wisconsin's Red Gecko Photography, featuring Becca & Dave and their wedding party — including their fully kilted groomsmen!

That's just one of the amazing shots from this wedding — there's handfasting, rock climbing, keens, and sooo much more. Go look at Red Gecko Studio's blog to get the full scoop — and thanks to Ria for emailing me about this!

The Offbeat Bride: Tina, Anesthesiologist

Her Offbeat Partner: Alex, Editorial Photographer

Location & date of wedding: Tampa Garden Club, Tampa Florida — 11-01-08

What made our wedding offbeat: Our theme was "T&A Productions' Celebration of Love, Friendship and Family." We wanted the party to be a big "thank you" celebration for our friends and family.

The colors of the wedding were based on limited edition Manolo Blahniks I bought years before and never planned on wearing. The dress was designed by me and made by a local seamstress. All of the fabric was found online. The silk tartan sash was a "surprise" element for Alex.

Her Offbeat Partner: Gavin, Engineer and "cannon fodder"

Location & date of wedding: Stony Range Botanical Gardens, Dee Why, Sydney, AUS — 6/6/2009

What made our wedding offbeat: There are numerous items that make it a little unusual. I think it's the personal touches that make a wedding offbeat — well, how many you can get away with.
