Kat’s bootsI've posted shots of fiery weddings before, but Kat here adds the cherry on top (or underneath?) her red wedding dress with a pair of the most amazing gold boots you've ever seen.

I mean really: how much does this outfit kick ass? Check out the full photoset of this 2006 Brooklyn wedding here — be sure not to miss the hottie groom in his top hat. And is that a wedding dog?

If you've got a couple minutes, read through the archives of the bride's blog, nupping.com. My favorite is this post:

Objectives for wedding day:

1. Do not vomit on bridegroom.

2. Do my very very best not to use the words "fuck" or "splosh" in my wedding vows. At least not on purpose.

Bride with tatsTat of brideSo, first there's this rad picture of Carol in her flaming red dress. How much do you love the dress?! Here's another shot of it.

Then there's THIS amazing picture of the tattoo her husband got after the wedding. As Carol notes in the caption of the photo, "My fan base is small, but rabid."

So we've got a tattooed bride, and then a tattoo OF a bride. Now THAT'S fucking punk rock.

You can view a few more pix over on Carol's Myspace.

weddsmall3Love the tattoos. Love the netty headpiece. Love the Marilyn Monroe piercing. Love the hair. Love the wallpaper. But lest you think it's all so serious, I also love that the bride went for a ride in a bumper-car.

(Thanks to cometo:MAMA! for the photo!)

07-0609 Lang 9Wow, look at how that dress perfectly frames the bride's gorgeous backwork! Simply stunning.

And I love the interplay between the bride's bluntly cut black bob and the white butterfly she's got pinned in her hair.

And something about the groom's boyish face combined with the bride's seductive pose … it's all so sweet and dirty at the same time.

(Thanks to Ryan Flood from FS Weddings for the photo!)

weddin2.jpgHoly hell. My brain almost exploded from the gorgeousness and sheer amazatude of Aly and Elroi's stunning wedding in Atlanta. Let's start with their wedsite, which has one of my favorite wedding party pages of all time. The descriptions are hilarious and I love the ushers' hand signal discussion.

Then there's the wedding photography, which was done by Our Labor and Love and must have cost a fortune because it's stunning. Sadly, the online gallery is built from flash, so I can't directly link to individual photos, but go look at them all and check out the bridesmaids' hair (love the feathers!) and the amazing portraits of the couple, and the ceremony photos and and and … oh my god.

Just spend a while looking at all the pictures — they'll take a while to load because the galleries are huge. You'll be inspired by Aly's handmade blue dress, and the bad-ass wedding party, Elroi's smile, and the officiant, and the bird-topped cake that matches the bride's dress, the vegetarian menu, and and and…! Just go. Just go look. It's one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen, gay or straight.

Also, check out Aly's write-up on Kvetch. I got all misty. And then there's this article about the whole shebang, which was documented by a television crew for a reality show on Logo.
