A snowy kiss, punch card guest book, and some wicked pirates

Tribesmaid Christineff and her groom get romantic (and chilly) in the moonlight. What a dark and lovely way to start off the week, right? We’ve also lined up a cool guest book alternative involving punch cards, a Breaking Bad couples tattoo, and some pirates.

Joey & Wade’s crowdsourced zombie wedding

Get your candy out because it’s Halloween Week! We’ve got zombies, ghosts, and gore in our weddings. This time around it’s a couple who met at a Zombie Walk, so the theme was inevitable. Zombies, natch, but also an Elvis minister and a unicorn ring bearer! Plus, the officiant started the ceremony with “Brains. Brains brains brains brains brains.” A total must-read.

Anne & Stew’s happy hippie hoedown cross-country wedding

This pair had a sweet, tiny redwood forest elopement, but it didn’t end there. They then went on an cross-country party marathon with all of their family and friends in New Jersey, NYC, Texas, and California! Think Austin hokey-tonk bar, Jewish deli catering, a Deadhead-inspired barn dance, and a special guest: Mel the CAMEL. You have to see it to believe it.

A geeky and gorgeous forest preserve wedding

Saeri and Brent were wed at Evans Field, a forest preserve just outside of Chicago. Saeri wore a persimmon-colored dress (to match her ink), they both wore Converse, and they had a ceremony filled with geek references to dinosaurs and zombies. An aunt performed a hula dance, while another aunt read an English and German poem that Saeri’s grandmother wrote for them. It was definitely a mix of cultures and interests that blended so well together.

A colorful and elaborate Indian and American fusion wedding

This is a wedding in two parts celebrating two cultures combining. You don’t want to miss the ultra-colorful saris, the fluffy red reception dress, the henna (that took 11 hours!), the giant pillow cake, and the sweet first look. So much to see, it’s like sensory overload in the best way possible.
