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!
Emily & Greg’s wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey Doctor Who wedding
Our wedding was surprisingly traditional, despite the fact that I’m happily bisexual, Greg is “heteroflexible,” and we’re polyamorous.
Kitten, Brynn, and Doll’s rainbow garden of poly love three-bride wedding
A gorgeous forest setting, lovely Pagan symbolism, and of course, three fabulous brides in long white gowns! They may have had to find a balance between different backgrounds, religions, and pre-conceived notions, but the end result was a kick-ass wedding that everyone could enjoy. Just learn from these blue-tongued ladies that a rainbow cake sometimes has it’s side effects…
Jesse & Ben’s potluck backyard hippie handfasting
When you’re in the mood to kick tradition out, this is the celebration to see: a non-legal backyard solstice potluck with a VERY participatory ceremony, personal tattoos instead of rings, and a super sweet memorial for the groom’s father. These adorable hippies knew what they wanted and embraced it full-on. And we get to see it all come together!
A poly wedding: My decision to marry my boyfriend while I’m legally married to my husband
When my boyfriend first mentioned the possibility of getting married someday, I was taken by surprise. “Sure, I’d marry you if it was legal,” I told him. And he asked me: “Who cares if it’s legal?” We’re polyamorous, and I’ve been legally married to my other partner for over a decade. I had somehow never really considered that we were free to get married, too, regardless of whether or not the law would ever recognize it. My boyfriend and I were already committed to sharing our lives together, building a family. Did I really need some kind of ceremony to solidify that?
Jodi & Kim’s glow sticks and bling wedding
This wedding has an official “flower disbursement” and “ring security agents.” Basically, they mean business. On top of that, a dog walked down the aisle, a fish was memorialized, and glow sticks featured prominently in the unity ceremony. I think we’re in for some fun. Oh, and you have to read about the jaw-dropping encounter with their first videographer. It was NUTS.
