Announcing the birth of our sister site: Offbeat Mama!

Offbeat brides usually marry offbeat grooms. Gentlemen, we salute you!

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!

23.

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 creepersDUH, 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:
38.

Offbeat grooms, I hope you're wearing your diapers, because this one is going to make you shit your pants with jealousy: at Corbin & Louise's Forest Treehouse Zipline Unicycle Wedding, the groom entered via a zipline he built in his backyard:

But don't be fooled! The bride may have walked to the altar, but she got in some zipping too:

The final post for Offbeat Bride's "Elephun Elephant Day" is some adorable wedding porn taken by Megan, the offbeat intern…

I was on location in the Pacific Palisades taking photos of a fellow Offbeat Bride's wedding when we all heard this great commotion — yelling, cheering, tambourines, etc. — and when I checked it out I realized it was wedding parade for an Indian wedding!

After getting over the initial happy spurt of seeing this wonderful procession, I then noticed the huge elephant lumbering up the hill being ridden by an adorably freaked-out groom holding on for dear life!

Wedding cuteness overload I tell you.

Check out the slideshow below for more photos of a cute groom riding a cute elephant and I hope you enjoyed this first ever "Elephun Elephant Week."

Ladies, you see that adorable short wedding dress the bride Catherine is wearing? You see that adorable groom next to her? His name is Hans and he made Catherine's dress. Seriously: he made his bride's dress!

That said, I noticed this little post on the groom's blog:

number of dresses i've been asked to sew in the past 3 months by friends: 8. number of dresses i've sewn in the past 3 months: 1.

hint: i don't want to sew you a dress.

In other words, just because he made his bride's dress, doesn't mean he's making you a dress!

aarons-green-suitI'll have the full scoop on Christina & Aaron's wedding for y'all next week, but for now I just wanted to post this picture and say that Aaron has made a statement on behalf of all offbeat grooms, that statement being "WHO SAYS A SUIT HAS TO BE FREAKING BORING!?"

Even if a chartreuse silk suit isn't your thing, you must bow down at Aaron's fabulous nose thumbing at the forces of the wedding world that tell grooms everywhere "Your job is to be an understated accessory at your own wedding. This is her special daaaaaay."

So Aaron, on behalf of Offbeat Brides everywhere … I salute you and your amazing green suit.

(PS: y'all are going to lose your minds when you see the bridesmaids outfits that went with this wedding!)
