Vader bride, tattoo rings, and fire balls on this week's Reader Round-up

You're going to see more of this bride's wedding in a couple days, but I thought I'd give you a little Darth Vader-y sneak-peek in this reader round-up.

In fact, there are a LOT of cute peeks into our readers' weddings this week: tattoo rings, swanky groomsmen, and a favor idea that helped me help my own cousin and his partner. Let's get it on…

Thank you to Whitney Lee for adding this photo to the Flickr pool! I've been helping my cousin plan his wedding and this just gave us MAJOR inspiration for the wedding favors/table decor.

Offbeat Bride reader Brittany explains her husband's new ring ink:

My husband and I are recently married and he had always wanted a ring tattoo as well as a wedding band. We searched the internet and Offbeat Bride's article for ideas but ultimately decided that none of them really fit his personality. My husband is definitely country. Loves trucks, boots, guns, hunting, and fishing so a tribal tattoo didn't really fit…

So my husband came up with this idea. I'll admit I was a little hesitant at first. A deer skull is not exactly romantic by any means. But it didn't take me long to realize that the fact that he wants a wedding band tattoo in the first place is so romantic, and I couldn't think of a better tattoo to fit my husband and his personality.
