Then, when you walk to the altar, you can stop to collect a flower from each guest … assembling your community bouquet as you go. This gives you an awesome opportunity to acknowledge and involve each guest — I like this way better than a receiving line.  What do you get when two British circus performers marry? You get a bride in a candy-apple red dress (made by Miss Katie) with matching candy-apple red pin-up hair, arriving at her courthouse wedding in a gold car with an eye-patched skull on top. You get hottie bridesmaids in little top hats and a fabulous red cake, and from the looks of it, one HELL of a reception. You’ll find all this and more in the photos from Lucifire and Dave Tusk’s April 2006 wedding. Take your time going through the hundreds of photos on Lucifire’s Myspace. Bonus sweetness: on her website, the bride describes herself as “profoundly, ridiculously, disgustingly happily married.” (Thanks to Kate for the heads up on these shots!) I am FREAKING OUT over the photos from this wedding, which took place in a theater and featured a rockin’ bride named Megan in the cutest polka-dot dress with hot pink crinoline.  Thanks to Melissa and Becca for pointing this one out to me. *faints* One more pic of the bride, her amazing up-do and her button bouquet below… Read the rest of this entry »
Her offbeat partner: Michael (woodworker, clever fellow) Location & date of wedding: Yachats Inn, Teahouse Pavilion, Yachats, Oregon. 03/01/08 What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding was SOOOO made by our own hands that you could see the callouses a mile away! (really.) From making my own dress, to the lanterns and lantern stands, the tablecloths, the namecards, seed packet favors, cupcake stand, programs, invitations, tea light stands, thank you gifts (and bags, and boxes for them), alter table… and i am sure i am forgetting something.

Her offbeat partner: PJ, video game journalist Location & date of wedding: san francisco zoo, april 19, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: Hoo boy. The tender union between two child-at-heart game industry kids is, of course, *unnormal* to say the least. We’re both avid gamers who love animals. The venue really hit the nail on the wall. PJ proposed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and how fitting it was to have the actual wedding at the San Francisco Zoo!? Read the rest of this entry »
Her offbeat partner: Josh - middle school social studies teacher/musician Location & date of wedding: 3/15/08 at Butler’s Courtyard in League City, TX What made our wedding offbeat: We wanted the wedding to reflect us as a couple and be memorable, but we also didn’t want to alienate any family members or make them feel uncomfortable along the way. We wanted to express ourselves while still making everyone feel welcome. We chose a rather traditional venue, but it still had enough character and history (we both majored in history) to make us fall in love with it. Also, the owners seemed to really be on board with any and all ideas we had, so that made it excellent.
