Mari-Anne & Larry’s big fat pagan handfasting
An enchanted forest theme, costumes, homemade mead, and a handfasting… we’re in the mood for some fantastical forest-y love! Add in a giant inflatable D20, some DIY, and a few choice vow alterations, and you’ve got all kinds of fun twists. Plus, you’ll love who walked the bride down the aisle!
Shondelyn & Tyler’s SCUBA-loving aquarium wedding
It all starts with gawking at the luscious purple wedding gown (from [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart]!). And then we’re ogling the scenery at the awesome aquarium. After that we’re spying octopodes and tentacles all over the place. And once we see the anniversary dance winners, it’s all over. Hearts melted.
Lauren & Marco’s offbeat lite Filipino American wedding
This pair wanted to mix some traditions with offbeat ways. So get ready for traditional Filipino food, invitations, barongs, and 35 sponsors! They also opted for a Unitarian ceremony, which presented its own challenge for the bride’s Catholic family. You’ll definitely want to heed her advice when it comes to that. So head in and ogle the gorgeous Wai-Ching and Unique Vintage dresses, the purple glow-y tent, and the choreographed first dance story.
Megan & Joe’s relaxed daytime wedding with a hug line
This wedding is all about learning experiences: you don’t need fancy “yay” flags when simple ones bring as much fun, dads are sometimes more mushy-gushy than they let on (see the flashing baby photos for proof!), and sometimes a daytime wedding with fabulous food (drooool potatoes) is totally the way to go. Plus: learn what the hell a “hug line” is and how you can get one, too!
Kimberly & Steve’s ’50s retro rockabilly wedding
A 1950s drive-in, a vintage candy buffet, Pink Ladies and T-Birds, and even a little heavy metal — why, it must be greased lighting! And you do not want to miss the major rumble that happened at the ceremony. Let’s just say that it included “the man, the myth, and the legend” and the “baddest Catholic school teacher ever.”
A literary Dinosaur wedding with a purple dress and a bad-ass blind bride
