OMG rainbows! The Honor Party of Awesomeness is attired in a rainbow of petticoats, suspenders, ties, Converse, and shades, and that’s only the beginning. Ribbons of rainbows follow a rainbow of butterflies all through the details. Check out the cake topper that inspired it all and the pinky promise, thumb-touch, lick that sealed the deal.

Nicole and Julie had a lovely outdoor ceremony in Washington full of emotional and sweet touches. They had lots of DIY projects and planned the whole shebang in only two months.

(Plus, we’ve got one batch of bonus vows from an Offbeat Bride reader!)
