Don’t miss the Tom “Hankies” at this movie-themed wedding
Liz and Adam are HUGE movie buffs, so they had a movie-themed wedding at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, one of their favorite haunts. They worked in tons of movie-related details like movie poster invitations, vintage film reels, popcorn favors, a James Bond seating chart, and Star Wars cake toppers. Plus, the ceremony itself took place in a theater!
Band mates become life mates at this musical wedding in Pennsylvania
Megan and Jeff were bandmates who became lifemates at their musical wedding. Megan wore her mother’s dress, and they spoke personal and sacred vows. The unique museum space reception had vinyl slingin’ DJs, which was perfectly appropriate since they fell in love in their own band, The Wild Hymns. They even wrote and played a song together instead of a first dance.
Cats and creatures errrrywhere at this woodland forest wedding
Lillian and Jon had a Somerville, MA wedding at the ultra gorgeous Fruitlands Museum for a rainy day wedding full of bliss.

Hang on tight for dinosaur skellies, kitteh shoes, and a first dance under a T-Rex
You must see this Jewish wedding surrounded by dinosaurs at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas. Samantha and Matt are Californians originally from Houston, and they held their wedding in their home city. Things not to miss: the ceremony overlooking the dino skellies in the Paleontology Hall, the Charlotte Olympia cat shoes (cat ladies unite!), and the first dance underneath a T-Rex. The tablescapes were all different, with moss and grass in terrarium glass bells. You may drool over their macaron-covered cake, too.

You know the one!
