Briana, Joshua, & Tony’s stories and songs love triangle wedding
With this wedding, we’re getting a two-fer: a legal ceremony between a bride and a groom, and a handfasting ceremony between that bride and groom and their partner. It’s all about the tear-y groom, the cake-saving groom, the bride in a gorgeous blue dress, and three people totally in love. And don’t miss the tears-welling-like-mad triple kiss!
Who cares who leads? Non-gendered first dance ideas for all
My brother-in-law — who has never danced himself — once told me that it is only natural in dancing that the man leads and the woman follows. Having taught many partner dance classes, from Swing to French Folk, I can tell you that that is completely and utterly untrue.

Pink glasses, purple groom’s hair, and a poly-inclusive (and everything else-inclusive!) — this Jewish-meets-Boston-meets-New York wedding is just a dream.

Smoosh your face against the screen and give these cuties a virtual hug.

Liz & Marc’s traveling fall circus wedding
Let’s see here: we’ve got a circus theme with a dog dressed as a lion, “boot-in-ears,” a bearded lady, a carousel horse guestbook, a midway full of games, a flash mob ceremony, an after-party with a ball pit, and a footie pajama football brunch the next day. If you can even process all that awesome, you’ll need to make even more room in your brain for the first dance surprise. Hint: a marching band was involved!
