The offbeat bride: Miranda, Media Operations Coordinator/Artist (and Tribe member)

Her offbeat partner: Evan, Design Consultant/Art Framer

Date and location of wedding: Piedmont Community Hall, Piedmont , CA — September 23, 2011

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Both of us are multicultural, and have lived on both the east and west coasts (Philadelphia and the Bay Area). We have a love of nature, good food, and architecture, so we chose a location that allowed us to have a lot of freedom to express ourselves. We ended up choosing the Piedmont Community Hall with their Craftsman-style hall and adjacent redwood grove, landscaped grounds, and Japanese tea house. For the wedding, we focused on having feel-good elements like local, East Coast, and heritage-related fall food and beverage such as Yuengling beer from Philly and local Californian wines.

Lion dances and a tea ceremony, plus a take-two with white wedding wear means two times the awesome in one day. Check out this multicultural, good food-loving wedding in Minneapolis.

A troupe of body builders, stilt walkers in studded thongs, 75 dancers, in-character actors serving food, and eight bodyguards for the couple — yep, it happened. And it happened in Bali, in an amazing venue, despite seemingly insurmountable familial doubt. But hey, you want the performance of a lifetime, you do what you have to do to get it. And boy, did they.

Celebrating the many traditions that bind couples together, this nature-loving couple wed under the trees and partied under a shower of sparklers. They also rocked a bio-Benz and brought all their guests together for a giant circle dance to "Rainbow Connection."

This worldly couple manages to elegantly combine traditions from Buddhist, Jewish, Filipino, Catholic, and Chinese into one heckuva wedding. And you don't want to miss the a-dor-able video of Juno surprising Noah with a choreographed dance number!

What's red, gold, green, teal and covered in peacock feathers and henna? This awesome Nepali-multicultural extravaganza! Just try not loving the brooch bouquet, I dare you.

"Can you imagine having a bus-full of white people going around Mumbai to buy saris, salwar kameez, bangles, bindis AND bargain? " I can image it and it sounds fuckin' awesome!
