Erin & Tadd’s quirky destination beach wedding

After a little snafu keeping their venue, this pair rocked the beach with their monster movie details, lush dessert buffet, and vows written by the wedding party. Plus, the groom had an additional challenge when removing the garter: the bride’s cowboy boot-shaped rain boots!

Grace & Kevin’s lakeside beer and barbecue wedding

An outdoor barbecue with lots of beer and lots of dancing sounds pretty awesome. But add in a surprise officiant (the bride’s adorable grandfather!) and you’ve got some real sweetness going on. Plus, the hot Texas weather took a break just for the day. The stars aligned for this lovely spring theme week wedding.

Lindsey & Mike’s all things Texas cowboy wedding

Everything is bigger there, so why not have bigger fun in Texas? A mechanical bull and the antics that accompany it fit the bill perfectly. A camera-mugging daughter and some first-time cowboy two-steppers round out this rainy, Texas-sized wedding.

Amanda & Daniel’s rainy with a chance of cinnamon rolls wedding

It’s a good thing the mothers convinced these two to get a tent or they’d have been playing in the puddles all night long. But no parades were rained on, and the party was started with a pig roast, a giant cinnamon roll, some personal touches, and a roaming kitteh. You will like this adorable Virginia wedding on a budget.

Jen & David’s laid-back Tennessee barbecue wedding

These two were not getting married — no way, no how. Except then they did, which made the whole shebang offbeat in itself. On top of that, they opted for a casual, outdoor ceremony with some kick-ass barbecue afterwards from the local joint they love. It was simple, small, and perfect for these two, who exemplify our simple weddings week.
