Erin & Ash’s rocker wedding in a dirty bar

These two were made to get married in the bar where they work and watch their favorite bands play. But they didn’t expect a cameo appearance from the lead singer of Soul Asylum. I don’t blame him for party crashing since they had awesome cupcakes, a fried noms “cake,” and a kick-ass rocker ceremony.

This couple decided one day wasn’t enough, so they crafted an entire weekend of fun for their crew with a 5K, a barbecue, and bike rides. Somehow they managed all this while DIYing almost all of the elements of this gorgeous farm wedding.

Joan and Tom’s upcycled carnival cabaret wedding

We married on September 11, 2010. We’d just met when the 9/11 tragedy occurred. After the initial shock subsided, we made a big feast for the people who lived in our building. That was the first loving thing we did as a couple, so we consider it our anniversary. It made sense to marry on that day (albeit having to explain the story a million times).
