Apr. 3, 2020 A Blessing On Your House: Decoding weird wedding language with a queer Christian minister Words have histories, and the words that go along with wedding ceremonies have millennia of symbolism behind them. But those of us with a progressive or non-traditionalist streak sometimes wrestle with those ancient meanings as we seek to queer our rituals and find words that reflect the humanity-uplifting equal partnerships we want to build… Read More 1.3k Mar. 22, 2019 A DIYed darkly romantic wedding with pagan details & vegan fare Megan and Nick planned an ultra gorgeous pagan meets vegan wedding, most of which was completely DIYed. They have a super strong community of family and friends and the entire day was relaxed and romantic. You won't believe how much love and care went in to all the details of the day. This darkly romantic wedding was a DIY dream and I can't wait for you to see it. Read More 2.9k Mar. 7, 2019 It's all about chic dark romance at this pagan wedding in Maryland As the artist and owner of a candle and witchcraft supply store, Lily had a specific vision for her and Joe's October wedding which included some Pagan elements. When her florist went out of business just before the wedding, Lily decided to do all her own decor. Keep an eye out for the candles with glittery sigils, a flower petal circle to get married in, and the besom they jumped over.

We tried to invoke all the things we loved in our wedding day — geeky nods to Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Jonathan Coulton, and the Lord of the Rings; the Obergefell v Hodges ruling for Jess's career and theatrical touches for mine. We asked our guests to wear 'whatever makes you feel pretty.' We then celebrated with ice cream, lawn games, and street food, and ended the evening with a ceilidh and session. Oh, and there was an owl, and llamas.

We are both nerds, so there were many "easter eggs" hidden in parts of our wedding for people to find, from "game over" music at the end of the night to messages hidden in binary code on our save-the-dates. We are both feminists, so it was also very important to leave behind the more traditional, patriarchal, gender-specific parts of American weddings. Don't miss the flower crowns on BOTH of them! Read More 4.8k Mar. 19, 2018 An Autumn witch lesbian wedding with tarot, tattoos, and beer As practicing pagans, we also incorporated many elements of our spirituality, such as tarot readers at the reception and a Samhain memorial altar. Harry Potter has been interwoven into our relationship for 20 years, so we had subtle hints of our love for the series in our decor (side note: we got engaged at and shot our engagement photos at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter). We made our reception personal by including all the things we love: coffee, beer, tattoos, and tarot! Read More 123…14 Copyright © 2003 - 2020 Offbeat Empire. All rights reserved.
