Krista & Colin’s multicultural punk island elopement

Islands views, backgrounds and cultures, WWII history, and their sweet dog named Thor — these are things that make this couple tick. And since both had very different kinds of weddings before, this one only going to be about their love and the meanings behind it. Cue the Scottish island elopement with ink, a mohawk, and lots of ceremonial traditions.

Nicole & Kyle’s punk rock and skulls wedding

These two heard a lot of ideas about what people thought their punk-themed wedding would be like… but they were all wrong. This shindig had all the awesome trappings of a punk-loving party: awesome bands (including one who shifted into an ’80s hair band!), The Misfits playing during the ceremony, and colorful skulls everywhere. But with a gorgeous and floofy pink gown and a classy venue, this was a total traditional-meets-punk mashup.

Heather & Charlie’s moshing dodgem wedding

We’ve seen this bride’s homemade cake, but we hadn’t seen her epic, punk rock-loving wedding. The wait is over, so you’ll want to check out the retro fashion, insane makeshift mosh pit, and BUMPER CARS at the reception! Oh, and viewing the bride’s surprise wedding tattoo required a sexy-as-hell upskirt shot that we couldn’t help including.
