Remember this post about the fabulous punk-rock Hawaiian wedding? Well, I found the bride’s wedding MySpace (titled Sarah & Fernando: THE MERGE) and so I’ve got more gorgeous shots for you. Much more.

Those who’ve read my book (which should be all of you *cough cough*) will notice that this wedding sounds awfully familiar. Elisa and I grew up together on Bainbridge Island, and our weddings had a lot in common! I’ve mentioned her wedding before, but here’s the full profile…

50 (33)The offbeat bride: Elisa, Therapist

Her offbeat groom: Eric, Electrician

Location & date of wedding: My mom’s backyard in a clearing surrounded by Cedar trees on Bainbridge Island.

What made our wedding offbeat: We decided to go low key, fun and DIY! We had a backyard ceremony and I wore the same dress that my grandma and great-grandma wore. It was so special, I’m really glad I did! After the ceremony I changed dresses so I wouldn’t trash the antique one and we danced and hung out all night. I made many of the things for the wedding to keep it cheap and cute, with everything being our colors of bright orange, pink, red, and fushia.

Wedding porn: Best! Picture! Evar!

October 2nd, 2007

Bride & JewelsHow many of my favorite wedding things can you count in this photo? Let me see …

1. Red wedding dress. Duh.

2. Wedding wings.

3. You can’t really see it in this shot, but that’s a ribbon veil! And we know I loves the ribbon veils.

4. Grinning boston terrier as bouquet. (I have a boston mix, so I’m biased.)

5. Total “not taking any shit” look from the barefoot bride.

Check out the full set over here!

(Thanks to Jewelzy Bug for the photo!)

Check out my whole collection of red wedding dress photos!

Obviously I have a thing for red wedding dresses. Photographer Martin Oliver captured a bride named Penaran in a red Ian Stuart dress. I love the rouching of the red train, and the bride’s adorable little cocktail hat.

Elly & JustinThe offbeat bride: Elly, student

My offbeat groom: Justin, art guy

Location & date of wedding: May 5 2007 at a family ranch in Ellensburg, WA (middle of nowhere, just about)

What made our wedding offbeat: Ways we were odd: wrote our own very naturalistic vows, made and/or altered a lot of the small details, bought the dress (and many other bits) on ebay, did a ‘formal’ ceremony in barefeet. Yes, I think we scared the crap out of some people, including the neighbors. We each had three rings. That was probably the most expensive part beyond the Canadian photographer!

Wedding porn: Wedding dogs

February 22nd, 2007

The KingAt a reading the other night, I was asked about people having animals in their wedding ceremonies. I answered that I’d heard of several ring-bearing dogs, including Staci Robinson’s pooch, Leroy. Then my friend Michelle sent me this awesome photo of Cassy, her husband Chris, and their dog Aslan, who proudly helped with rings while wearing a cape that read The King. You can see lots more shots from this wedding over here.

Staci & BenjaminThe offbeat bride: Staci Robinson, Licensed Veterinary Technician

My offbeat groom: Benjamin White, Medical Laboratory Technologist

Location & date of wedding: Opossum Creek Retreat Cabins, Lansing, West Virginia, October 2006

What made our wedding offbeat: We took tradition and tossed it far, far out the window. I wore a red dress that I bought off the rack (on sale!) at Macy’s and no veil. Each of us had both of our parents escort us down the aisle. I walked down the aisle not to some stiff traditional bridal march but instead to Death Cab for Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into the Dark.”
