How much did you swoon for this Pride and Prejudice-themed, Victorian wedding from Kate Sommers Photography? Well, HELLO Mr. Darcy and friends!

Dude, I tip my hat to you for the fabulous vest and jacket, the gloves, the goggles and the hat. It's like Michael Jackson meets The Tudors … in other words, it's fucking awesome.

Cowboy Groom
Throw a cowboy hat on a guy, add a horse, and what do you have? Wild west hotness! Also, I'm seriously digging the pattern on the vest and bow tie.

The O'Bryan's!
Is it the sepia tone or the cane + top hat + tails that makes this look like a most treasured vintage photograph?

A capeGreatcoat, a burgundy vest, a cane, and a cemetery? It's just all kinds of frightful right!

You've seen this groom and his rain boots before, but I just had to show you his amazing outfit complete with pocket-watch and chain again… and again!

fo realsies!
We pretty much all freakin' died when we saw the Gyronauts' zomg uh-MAZING wedding, so I had to include Sean's outfit — it was the inspiration for the wedding!

Gareth and Justin
I must know more about this wedding! (Hint, hint). How much do you love the goggles on the top hat and the twirly bow tie things? (That's totally the historically accurate term by the way.) You love them SO MUCH!

It's no secret that I was totally head-over-heels in love with Sonja & Wade's punk rock wedding AND it's no secret that Wade rocked some serious punk rock, top hat, combat boot hotness during the ceremony.

What can I even say about this bad-ass groom and his groomsmen? I mean there's a partially shaved head, a blown kiss, and leather pants. How can you not just fall in love with them right now?
