Date and location of wedding: The Lower Mill Restaurant and Galleries, Honeoye Falls, NY-- April 16, 2011

Our offbeat wedding at a glance: We made a pact when we got engaged not to make ourselves crazy with planning. We picked one location for the whole event: a refurbished historic mill with a restaurant on the first floor and an art gallery on the second. We greeted our guests together at a pre-ceremony cocktail hour and then were married in the gallery. We're total foodies, so we worked with the chef to come up with a family-style dinner that included fabulous goodies such as Parisian gnocchi hors d'oeuvres, red pepper bisque, and short ribs. For dessert, we had a pastry table with rhubarb pie in lieu of wedding cake.

Another year closes and lucky for us, some of our couples choose to have their wedding on New Year's Eve! With winter decor, festive hats, noise makers, and lots of DIY details, this pair made the official transition from best friends to married couple in grand style. Happy new year!

Everything is bigger there, so why not have bigger fun in Texas? A mechanical bull and the antics that accompany it fit the bill perfectly. A camera-mugging daughter and some first-time cowboy two-steppers round out this rainy, Texas-sized wedding.

The snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan isn't exactly known for Tiki culture, but that didn't stop this pair from celebrating their love of it in their wedding — from mini Tiki favors to hula dancing and Tiki centerpieces. Shake your booty on in to see the Tiki-tastic fun!

When an intimate forest ceremony becomes a Renaissance-inspired dance party reception, it's been a good day. The bride handmade books as favors, had tiny terrariums as centerpieces, and they served pumpkin pie, too. So far so good. But the addition of a cardboard deer head is the icing on the cake.

After 11 years of being together, the timing was perfect for their dream wedding: simple and gorgeous in the country. A few touches of beer toasts, beets, and library chic, the pair crafted a really personal experience for their nearest and dearest.

When potential guests start a-bickerin' about the wedding, sometimes it means it's time to make a quick getaway and elope to Hawaii. And that's exactly what these two did. They grabbed a friend and a photographer and spent their ceremony basking in the ocean breezes of Waikiki Beach. And voila: built-in honeymoon.

These two were not getting married — no way, no how. Except then they did, which made the whole shebang offbeat in itself. On top of that, they opted for a casual, outdoor ceremony with some kick-ass barbecue afterwards from the local joint they love. It was simple, small, and perfect for these two, who exemplify our simple weddings week.
