TARDIS candy buffets, magical photos, adorable couples, and kids in this Reader Roundup
Ariel called this photo of Nancy and her new husband “magical.” I call it fucking STUNNING! What do you call it? And you have to see her adorable flower girl… Oh and the TARDIS candy buffet… and some adorable bearded grooms and hula hooping brides…
Ruth & Andrew’s spiritually eclectic museum wedding
This bride got a little perspective and went from “Super Special Shocking Spectacular” to real-life, community-driven, awesome wedding. With a shmancy museum backdrop, a handfasting, and a ring warming (with a time-saving twist), meaning and tears were not hard to come by. And give me a few non-matchy matchy bridesmaids’ dresses with pockets any day.
A literary Dinosaur wedding with a purple dress and a bad-ass blind bride
Check out Elsa’s awesome manifesto that challenges the WIC’s assumptions about what is “bridal,” to get to know this awesome bride. Then get a load of the dino and Doctor Who details, purple swingin’ dress, and “steamcane” that made this wedding fabulous.
Christa & Dan’s Whovian British invasion wedding
This couple’s love of Doctor Who is written all over their wedding: cardboard Daleks and Cybermen, British music, centerpieces with various Doctors, and even a full-size Tardis, perfect for hilarious photo opportunities. They also had an impromptu thumb war during the ceremony. Plus, we can all learn from the bride’s totally chill solution to forgetting her guest book.
