OBT members George and Sebastian did it up right in Sydney this last weekend, getting married in the courtyard of the pub where Sebastian proposed.

The groom was in “the bastard child of a frock-coat” and as you can see, the bride was decked out in a flame-licked bright red dress she made herself, and adorable little cocktail hat.

Oh and of course they cut the cake with a machete. Hiiiyah!

I’ll probably have more on this wedding later, but for now you can peruse George & Sebastian’s flickrstream, and OBT members can check out George’s blog post.

PS: This isn’t the first flame-themed wedding dress on Offbeat Bride!

The offbeat bride: Laura, history detective

Her offbeat partner: Jim, army captain

Location & date of wedding: Gazebo in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lovingston, Virginia. July 26, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: When Jim and I made the decision to get married this May, we knew we weren’t going to have the luxury of a long engagement; Jim had recently received orders for a 400-day mission overseas and we knew we would have to have everything done and in order before he had to report for training in mid-August.

Wedding porn: Pink-haired bride with matching ink

August 5th, 2008 · Posted by Ariel

As a fellow pinkie myself, I am totally in love with OBT member Kim Dayman’s bright pink wedding hair. And is it just me, or does her hair perfect match her anatomical heart tattoo?

You’ll find lots more pink-haired wedding porn on Kim’s OBT blog!

Wedding porn: Peep bouquet/centerpiece

Peep bouquet/centerpiece III

Yesterday I mentioned that I wanted to know more (much more) about the peep bouquet from this wedding.

Well, I got my wish. Here’s a shot of the centerpiece/bouquet made from what appears to be dried flowers and marshmallow peeps. All I know of the backstory is what I received in an email from the bride, Anna: “I hate peeps with a passion and have a long history with them, and they are cheap as hell so I thought they might have a perfect place in our rather bizarro wedding.”

You can see tons more wedding pictures (bridesmaids in a teepee!) over here. Hopefully I’ll have the full profile soon!

(Thanks to kleptacular for the photo!)

c-r-fullThe offbeat bride: Rosemary, graduate student

Her offbeat partner: Christopher, graduate student

Location & date of wedding: June 21, 2008 in a friend’s wild back yard and forest, near Montreal, QC

What made our wedding offbeat: We made up our own ceremony to be exactly what we wanted it to be, which meant throwing out most traditional elements. Being part of a Pagan community, this wasn’t so surprising to our friends, but what may have surprised them was that we threw out most of the Pagan handfasting traditions as well, since they didn’t really speak to us either.

The offbeat bride: Sarah / vintage clothier
Her offbeat partner: Todd / Graphic designer

Location & date of wedding: Clinton House Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas. August 11, 2007

What made our wedding offbeat: We got married in a little old house by the University of Arkansas campus, where Bill & Hillary Clinton actually got married. Turns out, we were the first couple to get married there since them!
