The Offbeat Bride: Holly, Teacher

Her Offbeat Partner: Andrew, Data Backups Network Engineer

Location & date of wedding: British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda, at Leverick Bay — July 11th, 2009

What made this wedding offbeat: I have alopecia and instead of wearing a wig to hide it, I rock the bald look (and he loves it). We met in 7th grade and started dating when we were 24. He proposed in front of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame while we were on motorcycles.

We did a destination wedding in the British Virgin Islands, sailing around the islands for a week before and a week after, stopping at Leverick in the middle to get married on the beach, sunglasses tan lines and all. We had our bachelor/ette party on the Willy T, which is a boat/bar that is anchored off of the coast of Norman Island (aka Treasure island).

Her offbeat partner: Cory, Musician

Location & date of wedding: On the beautiful white beaches of Navarre, Florida down below our beach house, on September 27th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: Well… we could probably start with the bride wearing black. The lady (myself) wore a 1950's Rockabilly, classic black & red satin & polka dot strapless dress with boned bodice and a hem that hit below the knees AND I purchased it for under $100.00 which was totally awesome!

Location & date of wedding: Medieval Wall Lined City Carcassonne, France – August 23rd, 2008
