Our offbeat wedding at a glance: He's a rural corn-fed American from military school, and I'm a quirky Brit in Scotland. We planned the wedding across the ocean using Skype, which came with extra challenges. We got married in a very traditional, all-inclusive venue, but it made the transatlantic planning so much easier.

The Flickr Pool was teeming with photos of wedding parties that I had to share. Plus, there was a bouncy castle, a REAL castle in Scotland, and some nom-worthy cakes with amazing details. Check out this week's reader submissions in this week's Monday Montage.

This two-part wedding had an intimate humanist ceremony followed by amazing seafood at a local restaurant and then a cracking ceilidh for the rest of the guests the next day. Though there were some hiccups with the liquor license, this wild bunch still managed to leave some blood on the dance floor from the "dance of death!" Wild, woolly, and amazing. Would you want it any other way?

These two met during a charity clunker car race from London to Mongolia. While that's cool enough, their wedding takes the cake with the bride's fantastic gown and the couple's first sword fight.

I've already told you how great UK photographer Lauren McGlynn is at capturing the feel of a wedding, that she shoots with film if you prefer, AND compared her work to hard-core drugs. So this time I'm gonna hook you up with her new offbeat discount all while showing off a sneak peak of Lotte and David's supertastic funtime wedding. Bouncy castles and dancing wedding parties await…

A garden ceremony and beautiful old world stables make for a major statement, especially when you've never seen the venue and are planning it from across the world. These two somehow managed to craft an amazing Scottish party from all the way in Australia. Oh, and you might want to see how the bride managed to create her fantastic skirt and blouse combination. Black tulle and white ruffles… I die.

This wedding had me at UNION JACK SHOES! But there's so much more than just awesome shoes at this wedding — keep reading to see the rare sunny day wedding in Scotland of Tribe member Gillian.

Photographers that can capture a feeling along with the beautiful image are awesome and rare, that's why OBB sponsor Lauren McGlynn is such an great find. Keep reading for some adorable underwater wedding photos and to snag a special deal from Lauren McGlynn…
