…And a beard, and fabulous frames, and a beatific smile:

Here's a quick tease of Nadine and Alex's wedding, which we'll be doing a full profile of next week:

I've written in the past about jewelry for brides with stretched lobes, and I gotta say these two completely redefine just how formal large-gague piercings can look.

Oh Red Heart Photography you have done it again… you've brought us another incredible offbeat couple rocking a sweet Hawaiian wedding! This time it's Christina and Justin and their awesome wedding style.

I love the groom's all black, "Johnny Cash" look. It's one of those outfits that you NEVER see grooms wearing for an Hawaiian beach wedding. And, I'm sorry, what shoes are they wearing!?

Oh yeah, that's what I thought… awesome shoes.

And don't even try to act like you aren't in love with Christina's ink!

Trust me, you want to go to the Red Heart Photography blog to see more of the incredible photos from Christina and Justin's 09-09-09 wedding on the Big Island. And hopefully we'll be getting the full scoop on the wedding soon!

So you're thinking to yourself, "Self, if a rockabilly bride gets the hot pin-up hair, then what does a pychobilly groom to do keep up with the hotness?"

Answer: Mofo rocks a mohawk!

And then you're thinking, "Self, what about the shoes? Those rockabilly brides get all the cute shoes — what would a hottie groom wear so as not to be outdone by her hounds-tooth pumps?"

Answer: Leopard creepers … DUH, Self!

And finally, in this long monologue with yourself, you're thinking, "And what about the hottie psychobilly's groomsmen? How would they look?"

Tada:
