Eva & Radek’s diet-friendly Czech wedding by a cave

Traditional Czech weddings usually take place somewhere indoors, but this couple couldn’t imagine a ceremony that was not in the open air.

There was a ceremony near-disaster, but it ended up working out just fine.

No Firefly wedding is complete without Jayne Hats and Kaylee parasols, right? Add in some dinosaur references, a “Hitchhiker’s Guide” program, and some Star Wars, and the geek cred is made. They may have clashed with the venue coordinator, but these two know how to make it work.
