Lindsey & Mike’s all things Texas cowboy wedding

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.

Charis & Jarrell’s serendipitous Anglo-Catholic homemade wedding

These two eco-friendly, tea-loving cuties had a DIY-filled ceremony and reception in a church with a cupcake bar and a live music jam session. Family is really important to them and it totally shows in the details. Plus, Charis’ groom’s two left feet are adorable.

Erin & Ash’s rocker wedding in a dirty bar

These two were made to get married in the bar where they work and watch their favorite bands play. But they didn’t expect a cameo appearance from the lead singer of Soul Asylum. I don’t blame him for party crashing since they had awesome cupcakes, a fried noms “cake,” and a kick-ass rocker ceremony.

Jen & David’s laid-back Tennessee barbecue wedding

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.

Tara & Chuck’s intimate art gallery budget wedding

Two months to plan and catering-phobic? Now there’s a challenge. But this pair came up with a plan and managed to get amazing pasta and NOM-worthy desserts to their guests’ tummies. They also learned a hard lesson that combining flowers and mini-fridge freezers spells flower disaster. But trust me, none of that made this tiny affair any less awesome.
