2.9k Apr. 2, 2021 My aggressively atheist non-religious wedding vows and ceremony script Our wedding ceremony was admittedly what some might call “aggressively atheist,” and my bridesmaids noticed that a few people looked…surprised? I think those who didn’t know us especially well expected we would do what our own parents did and go with something more standard and semi-religious. We certainly are not in peoples faces about our atheism, but we wanted to be VERY clear about who we are and a wedding is a great time to make yourself known. Feel free to steal these atheist wedding vows! Read More Jan. 4, 2021 Scientific Romance: Is this the best science fiction wedding reading OF ALL TIME?! An Offbeat Bride reader first brought this poem by author Tim Pratt to our attention way back in 2011. Almost 10 years later, we stumbled upon it and it's still just so freaking perfect for those of you looking for a nerdy, science wedding reading that would feel great at a science-minded geeky wedding, or space or astronomy-themed wedding or even an atheist wedding… Read More 2.2k Nov. 23, 2020 Modern wedding ceremony script with short, non-religious, gender-neutral vows Maybe you've been asked to officiate a friend's wedding.

Since we couldn’t afford a lot of flowers, we bought a ton of Christmas lights on sale the year before and just went nuts with white twinkle lights and it worked out beautifully.
