The Offbeat Bride: Kristi, pre-school teacher at a German Immersion pre-school and a previous example of why rainy day weddings = gorgeous weddings!

My Offbeat Partner: John, IT guy at a middle school

Location & date of wedding: Columbia Manor, Minneapolis, Minnesota — May 10th, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We really tried to make our wedding "us" in every way that we could and also fun!

We had a very limited budget- which worked out okay because I'm all about DIY or getting someone to do it for you for cheap!

I'm a pretty bride!!It's that time of year when all the outdoor wedding brides are FREAKING OUT over the idea of rain.

Believe me, I remember the panic: I spent the week leading up to my wedding reading the NOAA weather report every half hour, freaking out over impending precipitation.

But here's the thing: rainy weddings can be awesome, if you're prepared. In the case of cutie mcbriderson here, that means the most adorable polka dot umbrella evar! Look at that gorgeous diffused light. Look at those polkadots! Look at that green shrug! LOOK AT THAT SMILE!

So rainy wedding brides … fear not. Your day is going to be awesome!

WeddingPortraits_046The offbeat bride: Baxter – writer (and OBT member!)

Her offbeat partner: Chris – Buyer at Amazon.com

Location & date of wedding: Discovery Park and Sunset Tavern – Seattle, WA (06-07-08) [Editor's note: Sunset Tavern, previously seen on OBB.com]

What made our wedding offbeat: Our ceremony was a short and sweet number is Discovery Park, overlooking the Sound with only family and a few friends in attendance. I wore a red corset top and a black skirt. He grew out his chops and wore a custom vest to go with his black pinstripe suit. A friend played "The Air That I Breathe" on acoustic guitar. Another friend officiated. We wrote our own vows which were basically love letters to each other, posed for some pictures and then it was on to the real party!

Seal Promise with a KissThe offbeat bride: Melissa, Web Master

My offbeat groom: John, Network Admin

Location & date of wedding: Uptight Wedding Chapel in Trenton, MI, April 23, 2005

What made our wedding offbeat: Mostly we bucked tradition. Not even in a huge, flamboyant way. But it drove the chapel owner/managers crazy and the minister refused to speak with us except for the ceremony itself.
