Goofy grooms, a fishtail mohawk, and the hairiest flower girl

Tribesmaid Dandido and her chuffed groom are just too damned cute. I love the little thumbs up. There’s more groom wackiness, a mohawk fishtail hairstyle, a lightsaber bouquet, and a hirsute flower girl. It’s kind of a wacky week here in the land of reader submissions, and I for one am all for it.

Papier mache centerpieces, fairy wings, and some awesome cake cuttings

Tribesmaid Remi crafted these epic papier mache chess pieces with her groom the summer before they got engaged. She says, “We’re not even that into chess, but after spending 100+ man-hours making them, they seemed like the perfect centerpieces.” This week’s reader submissions also bring us some playground fun, a family cake cutting, a not-so-family cake cutting, and a couple clad in fairy wings and a cape.

Angie & Marc’s fairy tale chapel red hot wedding

This bride and her mother both picked out the wedding chapel independently. And once I saw it, I though probably would have too! In an idyllic location, with a small group of their closest pals, donning red gowns and fedoras, these two lovebirds finally closed the 5000 mile-gap and got married.
