Our offbeat wedding at a glance: I worked hard to keep my dress a secret and had my sister wear white. My husband and the groomsmen would be wearing kilts, and none of them matched. In a traditional Scottish wedding, everyone would be wearing their own tartans, so I wanted to make sure that was the case with our friends as well.

Take two men in love, a weekend long party full of dancing, pies, and even Jazzercize, and you get the wedding of Chad and Matt. And any couple who provides parasols, ribbon streamers, and cardboard cutouts for their "gigantic gay discotheque" is aces in my book.

This week's Monday Montage has a few geeky touches (always warranted), some really interesting clay flowers, throwback dance party moves, and a rained-out bride we can all learn from. The Offbeat Flickr Pool was a little dance-y, a little steampunk-y, and a little bit awesome.

It's a good thing the mothers convinced these two to get a tent or they'd have been playing in the puddles all night long. But no parades were rained on, and the party was started with a pig roast, a giant cinnamon roll, some personal touches, and a roaming kitteh. You will like this adorable Virginia wedding on a budget.

Singing vows, locally-sourced and vegan cuisine, granola and plantable tree favors… have I got your attention yet? Despite getting rained out of their chosen forest ceremony site, this couple moved it all into a hunting lodge to continue the singing and celebrating.

LuvFest 2010 was an amazing homespun music fest featuring live music, lawn games, bonfires, fire dancers, multi-day camping, and a little rain to cool everyone off. That isn't enough? Oh, there was a wedding too. Love was all around at this festival of killer jams and awesome vows.

A little rain and a football game couldn't keep this couple down. The whole wedding party was decked in gorgeous renaissance garb for a sweet as sugar "crown exchange" of vows!

You may recognize this bride from her eco-chic and uber bad-ass wedding outfit. Well, that wasn't the only earthy element at their wedding. Laura and Chris designed their entire wedding around their wilderness ways! -Coco
