If this doesn't blow your mind a little…

Brian & Eileen's Wedding Music Video. from LOCKDOWN projects on Vimeo.

(Thanks to Saundrah for sending this my way!)

The offbeat bride: Miranda Podger, Registered Nurse

Her offbeat partner: Mike Podger

Location & date of wedding: The dance marquee in a very muddy field at the Pontardawe Music Festival in Pontardawe, South Wales, UK on August 16th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: A traditional wedding with all the trimmings was never going to be right for Mike and myself. This was the second marriage for both of us and we're not what you'd consider the most traditional, mainstream of couples. We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2007 and married August 16th 2008, so that didn't give us long to plan things. Plus we had a very small budget (in the end we managed to pull it off with a spend of around £300!)

Location & date of wedding: Norman church in the Cotswolds in Langford, Gloucestershire, UK on December 13th, 2008

A tiny owl as your ring bearer, of course…

…Just kidding. The bride in this photo, Denise, is a Scottish falconer and that owl is much, MUCH more than an accessory — its name is Puck. Denise and her husband Martin recently got married at the Dalhousie Castle near Edinburgh. Denise and Martin planned their winter wedding in just five months, and if you want to get an eye-full of how beautifully it turned out, head on over to Flickr!

The offbeat bride: Nina Lovelace

Her offbeat partner: Alastair McLellan, journalist

Location & date of wedding: Marylebone Town Hall (civil service) in London, England and Amadeus Centre (reception) in Maida Vale, London on November 1st, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: I’m not sure how many brides-to-be base their look on a 19th Century tart with a heart … but that was my heart’s desire!
