Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Our first wedding was traditional (church, white dress, random relatives we didn't really know, etc.). We decided to do our 20th anniversary re-vow the way we'd always wanted: a medieval-style handfasting with some Pagan elements, and a big knees-up.

A ceremony at dusk with lanterns, candles, and lights. A black gown, fire-red hair, and fabulously rich-looking decor. The groom in leather armour and the bridesmaids in capes. Have I got you yet? Check out this forest wedding for all of this and more.

Take some LARPers, bagpipers, Cercle and Balfolk dancing, a folk band, and a gorgeous green dress and you've got a lot to celebrate. you've seen Lenny and Mark's kitteh invitations and Lenny's brides paint, but you haven't seen anything yet! Check out this medieval-inspired party in a castle.

I picked up this set of plain, white, plastic cake servers at IKEA for $5.99. I cut my cake with these bad jacksons and all was well.

These were all achieved in one evening using materials found at a major craft store.

Being outdoorsy, pagan beliefs, love of all things Medieval… you know what this means. A Medieval handfasting with lots of mead, lots of maypole dancing, and major costume cred. Plus, a white horse somehow made its way to the wedding! It's like magic.
