Let’s get soggy with Miranda & Joe’s wonderfully woodsy, rainy wedding

This is some gloomy chic, gorgeous Pacific Northwest rainy amazingness right here, folks. Moody, misty, and perfect. Let’s follow this couple through their two-mile hike for an elopement full of haikus, copper cups of bourbon, and the sweetest pooch covered in a blanket you’ll see today.

Grooms in veils and a solo by The Mama Tits: just another gay Seattle wedding

After a decade-long partnership, Jeremy and Eric were finally married last June — on the very day that the state of Washington converted most state-registered domestic partnerships into legally recognized marriages! The couple said their vows on their own backporch in front of a few close loved ones. Damn, everything looks perfect. The colors, the smiles, the view, the weather — it all looks lovely and intimate and romantic and everything a wedding should be between two people who’ve been together so long.

Sadie & Devin’s heartfelt queer wedding at a historic brewery

Two brides, a custom suit, a lavender dress, and DIYed decor, all wrapped up in a shared donut eating at the end make this wedding as sweet as sugar. But their tale of woe turned whoa in their venue selection is a scene-stealer in this wedding in Seattle.

Ember & Andrew’s Mario Bros. meets Star Wars game store wedding

A Star Wars Sand Trooper, Mario mushrooms, and some retro styles all in the couple’s favorite game store — this is one geeky fabulous wedding. Wait until you get a load of the homemade Kransekake, their first dance story, and the bride’s lacey vintage-styled dress. Oh, and you’ll get a kick out of what the groom did with their Mario cake!
