The Offbeat Bride: Michelle – Administration Awesomeness (and OBT member "Michellie Bellie")

Her Offbeat Partner: James – Offroad Junkie Extraordinaire

Location & date of wedding: Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego, CA — September 07, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: We wanted a wedding that encompassed mine and my husbands many off-beat tastes. My husband and I are both avid tattoo collectors and wanted them shown off at the wedding. I gussied them up with jewels and made sure to get a strapless dress. We love skeleton and pirates and our theme was "love never dies". We had skeleton figurines as our centerpieces and cake topper.

Her Offbeat Partner: Justin Borucki, Photographer

Location & date of wedding: Woodloch Pines Resort, Pocono Mountains, Hawley, Pennsylvania — January 23, 2009

What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding could not have been more perfectly "us." Justin is a Brooklyn boy with country tastes and I'm a Jersey girl and mom of three, and there was not one part of the wedding from the decor to the music that didn't echo those descriptions. We decided from the very beginning that this wedding would be for our guests with an emphasis on fun.

How kick-ass are these bridesmaids in their coordinated-but-not-matching boots? And the groomsmen all wore Vans. Too cute! For lots more shots from Hope & Adam's wedding, head on over to Matthew Morgan Photography.

The offbeat bride: Gem – art lecturer (and OBT member!)

Her offbeat partner: Mel – sex boutique proprietor

Location & date of wedding: Brighton Town Hall/beach/pier, Brighton UK. Wednesday the 6th of August 2008.

What made our wedding offbeat: Being a gay couple started events in a generally non-regular tradition and our family and friends realized quickly that it wasn't going to stop there … we wanted a day that would fulfill our dressing up fantasies, even if that meant just being really comfortable. We didn't want anyone in starchy suits if they weren't going to feel at ease and our wedding was primarily about enjoyment.
