Photos from weddings featured in today’s sci-fi weddings article in the New York Times

You guys know we loves us some sci-fi, nerdy, geeky, horror-tinged, and zombie-fied weddings… and it appears the Old Grey Lady has sniffed out the trend!

The New York Times ran an article today (“Moving Past Traditional to the Science Fictional“) which featured an interview with Ariel and several weddings featured on Offbeat Bride. We thought it’d be fun to share some of the photos that go with the weddings featured in the piece…

An elegant gothic Iron Chef wedding

As someone who has never really adhered to the concept of “gender” and felt like I fall somewhere on the scale between tomboy and androgynous, I was surprised to find planning for my wedding made me feel unexpectedly girly. I fought it for a little while, but eventually decided to just go with it. Wearing makeup and doing my hair for one day didn’t make me a new person, it was just the side of me that decided to pop out for the occasion.

Let’s all admire Kwame’s hand-made wedding outfit

My husband is as unconventional as I am, so I was not at all surprised when he decided to wear a tunic and sarong for our wedding. He picked out the fabrics and beads and gave me a basic idea of what he wanted design-wise, and I went from there. I have to say I was pretty happy with how well it turned out.
