A barn wedding among the fall leaves

Molly and Scott are bad-assery in motion: awesome music-making, smoking in the boy’s room, dreadlock-sporting hip kids. They celebrated at Clay Hill Farm (a perfect fit for this week’s Barnacle theme!), and everything looked divine against the changing leaves of Maine in October.

Alysa & Ansell’s geektastic extravaganza wedding

This week we’re celebrating our sci-fi-loving, fantasy-squeeing, and comic book-collecting couples. That’s right: it’s geek week! What do X-Men, a bounce house, a sno-cone machine, purple shoes and a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey card box have in common? This wedding!

Shana & Leon’s bluegrass wedding in the woods

This pair loves hiking, trees, awesome local beer, and good barbecue. What better ingredients are there for a campground wedding under the trees? Oh, maybe the addition of a kick-ass bluegrass band that kept everyone dancing well into the night. With some ceremony accompaniment, an adorable uncle reading poetry, and dogs and kids galore, this was a wedding with a lot of heart.

SarahKat & Ryan’s Firefly and steampunk Maine woods wedding

Out in the Maine woods, and just a little bit lost, this wedding came together with the spiffiest wedding party this side of Serenity. A little bit steampunk, a little bit Firefly-inspired, and a whole lot of geek-tastic love made this party a woodsy, DIY, and inked-up awesome-fest.
