Oh Red Heart Photography you have done it again… you've brought us another incredible offbeat couple rocking a sweet Hawaiian wedding! This time it's Christina and Justin and their awesome wedding style.

I love the groom's all black, "Johnny Cash" look. It's one of those outfits that you NEVER see grooms wearing for an Hawaiian beach wedding. And, I'm sorry, what shoes are they wearing!?

Oh yeah, that's what I thought… awesome shoes.

And don't even try to act like you aren't in love with Christina's ink!

Trust me, you want to go to the Red Heart Photography blog to see more of the incredible photos from Christina and Justin's 09-09-09 wedding on the Big Island. And hopefully we'll be getting the full scoop on the wedding soon!

Her Offbeat Partner: Travis, Copywriter and DJ

Location & date of wedding: Mount Park, KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa — 11 April 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: We were married in a meadow, under a 100 year old oak tree, by a tattooed freak! The Pagan handfasting ceremony was blessed by a white Sangoma (witchdoctor) and we included a yichud walk from the Jewish tradition.

I wore my ultimate party frock in purple, red and pink, with polka dot shoes and a bright pink parasol. He wore a tailored suit made out of shweshwe fabric, indigenous to South Africa and typically used in dresses worn by African women in the field.

Location & date of wedding: Friend's beach house in Southern Shores, NC — October 11, 2008
