To kick off Offbeat Bride's first ever "Elephun Elephant Day" we present to you an elephant inspired wedding! And stay tuned for more elephant themed posts today!
The Offbeat Bride: Mary, school librarian
Her Offbeat Partner: Adam, writer
Location & date of wedding: Lucy the Elephant, Margate City, NJ — 4/18/2009
What made our wedding offbeat: First of all, because it happened with the help of our friends and family instead of vendors. Adam's mom made our amazing (and delicious) Lucy-shaped cake. A lifelong friend did my hair. Family members decorated blank prayer flags as decorations. My sister and I made the bouquets from supermarket flowers the day before the wedding. Everyone pitched in to pour champagne at the reception. Honestly, our wedding would have been crap without everyone's participation. It made the whole event much more fun and meaningful.
