The offbeat bride: Katy, Autistic Support Teacher Her offbeat partner: Drew, Artist and Graphic Designer Location & date of wedding: Penn Treaty Park and Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, PA on August 16th, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We were married by a former roommate. Who did get a cert online to be a reverend a marry us though it wasn’t necessary as we got a Quaker marriage license (available in PA) which requires no ceremony.
The offbeat bride: Lisa, Office Monkey (now with grad student action!) Her offbeat partner: Teri, Grad student and Office Monkey Location & date of wedding: Harrington Mansion in Minneapolis, MN on October 3rd, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We came in under our 5k budget, and still got our fancy to-do. We had board games, chess and card games, and a really (really really) tough puzzle instead of dancing — since our buddies don’t dance and empty dance floors are depressing.
The offbeat bride: Nicole, Office Manager & Baker Her offbeat partner: Marty (bass player for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists) Location & date of wedding: Bankuet Place in Richmond, VA on August 9th, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: We met working at a record store and then we were in each others bands for years before we got together, so music was a huge part of the party. All of our pals DJ’d and then we both did our own sets! It got very crazy!
The offbeat bride: Sheri, Curriculum Developer Her offbeat partner: Theo, Software Test Engineer Location & date of wedding: Carrigan Farms, Mooresville, NC on November 4th, 2007 What made our wedding offbeat: My husband wanted to wear a Great Kilt in his family’s tartan, so we decided to use the 18th century as inspiration and the plans grew from there.

We had a family-only ceremony at the Fremont Troll (a giant statue of a troll under a bridge!). Apparently a tour bus came by during the ceremony, but Ian and I were so engrossed in all the lurve that we didn’t even notice!
The offbeat bride: Kelly, Writer and TESL Teacher Location & date of wedding: Stone Mansion in Rome, NY - May 24th, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: Both of our families are super Catholic and we are not, so we decided on a outdoor handfasting. The ceremony was presided over by a Catholic woman who was excommunicated for belonging to a church that ordains women and marries same sex couples.
