Rock opera wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

This couple wrote an original ROCK OPERA for their music-loving wedding

This pair met while playing in their respective bands. After a proposal on that same stage, they decided to write an entire original rock opera album to use as their ceremony. With back-up singers, their own band members, a giant group song, the most explosive kiss ever, and even Statler and Waldorf heckling from the balcony, how can this not be one of our favorite weddings ever? Come see the pink hair, the fabulous dress, the donut desserts, and of course, the amazing concert shots.

Swoon at these dapper dudes with a “Prince Charming marries Prince Charming” theme

These two dapper-as-hell, handsome gents are both from Texas, but somehow didn’t meet until they were both living in the Bay Area.

There were longline jackets, costumes, origami cranes, fabulous flowers, and a gorgeous castle-themed cake perfect for two princes in love.

Alise & Adam’s intimate San Francisco surprise elopement

These cuties met on Tinder! After the bride’s experiences as a wedding hairstylist, the whole idea of a wedding wasn’t for her, so these two took off to San Francisco’s city hall to get married and surprise all their friends. With only four people in attendance (and one cheeky officiant!), they made it official. Don’t miss the purple hair, glittery gold dress, and amazing scenery.
