Evelyn & Nathan’s quirky Humanist wedding in an Irish castle

Kelsey & Meghan’s classic happy-sappy wedding

These two ladies decided early on that priorities were key and they wouldn’t be going into debt from the wedding. And they were able to pull together a lovely ceremony and dancefest reception (with s’mores!). You might also never guess that the bride’s two dresses and all the dresses in the wedding party were handmade, too!

Sandy & Ben’s volleyball and bonfire tie-dyed wedding

When venues give you lemons, host the wedding in a backyard! This pair took their tie-dyed shirts, ice cream sundae bar, volleyballs, guitars, bongos, and fireworks straight home, and it was a better party for it! Kick off your shoes and enjoy this casual and bare-footed wedding.

Roz & Pete’s humanists loving doughnuts and Prince wedding

This couple loves Krispy Kremes, books, vintage cameras, and each other. Do you want to be their BFFs yet? They had two ceremonies (one being of the humanist persuasion), an epic candy buffet, and dress-up costumes for the reception resulting in much hilariousness. The coincidental ceremony mishap is pretty funny too.

Vanessa & Nick’s urban whimsy wedding

A photo studio isn’t an obvious choice for a venue, but when you see it, you’ll love it. Add in a vegan menu, DIY invites, and even a little dress snafu, and you’ve got a start. And don’t forget to check out their engagement announcement! It is adorbs.

Maureen & Derek’s Scottish humanist two-part wedding

This two-part wedding had an intimate humanist ceremony followed by amazing seafood at a local restaurant and then a cracking ceilidh for the rest of the guests the next day. Though there were some hiccups with the liquor license, this wild bunch still managed to leave some blood on the dance floor from the “dance of death!” Wild, woolly, and amazing. Would you want it any other way?
