Brenda & Julio’s video game wedding

Sonic the Hedgehog blue and Yoshi green are in every facet of this gamer wedding. The drinks — yoshi-tini anyone? — the cufflinks, the escort cards, the card box…. it’s all got a bit of the Sonic the Hedgehog blue and Yoshi green, and a LOT of the AWESOME.

Karly & Steve’s artsy and crafty upcycled wedding

A certain superstorm may have wreaked havoc in the days before this wedding, but they pulled it all together somehow with the help of friends (and a new “BYOC: Bring Your Own Cupcakes” clause!). We’re really thankful they did, because we did not want to miss the amazing Wai-Ching dress, gorgeously-coiffed dreads, adorable family sand ceremony, and all of the DIY projects. Oh, let’s not forget the Harry Potter-inspired saxophonist/magician and impromptu break dancing on the dance floor.
