Adrienne & Dennis’ week-long non-resort wedding in Mexico
This bride proposed to her groom in their favorite hotel courtyard in Playa del Carmen, and one year later they were married in that same courtyard! But this time they were surrounded by 65 of their nearest and dearest for some dancing, pool lounging, and tequila drinking.
6 things I learned from my first wedding to Mr. Wrong

Lisa & Carlos’ runaway Hawaiian elopement wedding
When potential guests start a-bickerin’ about the wedding, sometimes it means it’s time to make a quick getaway and elope to Hawaii. And that’s exactly what these two did.

Kari & Rich’s handmade steampunk winter wedding
This cosplay pair met as pirates and wed as steampunks. The groom nearly didn’t make the ceremony, but his mad heel clicking in top hat and tails made up for it.
