Kaci & Roy’s vintage Victorian junkyard wedding bash

Kaci & Roy got hitched at The Cathedral of Junk — her in a 1920s gown and him in a Victorian top hat and tails (and pants and stuff 🙂 ). Their ceremony featured a Unity Volcano ceremony(!) and a reading from Shel Silverstein. After their outdoor ceremony, they headed to an old Austin music venue for beer, BBQ, and southern fried foods.

Lesley & Nick’s laid back, vegetarian, Buddhist wedding

Lesley & Nick wanted a simple wedding without breaking the budget. They cut costs by DIY’ing, cutting things they didn’t need and hiring an aspiring photographer. They kept the ceremony at ninety guests and then had everyone (including those who didn’t attend the ceremony) meet at a bar after for drinks!

Hayley & Patrick’s color-scheme-free, crazy-hair-filled wedding dorkfest

Haley & Patrick are lucky in the sense that both of their parents were very supportive of their offbeat-ness. This allowed them to have their wedding day their way. So, they had a quaker ceremony, followed by a reception filled with games and dancing!
