The offbeat bride: Lizette, Reference Archivist (and Tribe member)

Her offbeat partner: Mike, self-employed jack of all outdoor trades

Date and location of wedding: The ceremony was in Mike's folks' backyard and the reception was in our backyard in Northeastern Ohio — July 30, 2011

What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding ceremony was secular and we bucked a lot of tradition. We have been together for over 11 years so we got a lot of "it's about time" when we got engaged. But I ignored those people. The timing was just right for us. We wanted this to represent us, so we focused on what was important: good friends, family, great tunes, top shelf booze, and barbecue.

Charla & Joel got married at Joel's family reunion three months after getting engaged. They had a lovely, picturesque lakeside ceremony and then a vegetarian-friendly barbecue.

Victoria & Fritz bucked all traditions and had a DIY camp-out wedding!

Ruby & Martin decided they wanted to have a kid before they got married. So they did just that. Then when it when we came time to plan the wedding they wanted to make it as family oriented and kid friendly as possible!
