Stargate altar for a wedding as seen on @offbeatbride #stargate #wedding

Indeed it IS a handcrafted Stargate altar for a sci-fi wedding

Stargate fans, we’ve got your dream ceremony backdrop. We spied this masterfully crafted Stargate altar built by groom Ian Milward for his sci-fi wedding. The ring itself is 12 feet in diameter and looks even more rad lit up with LEDs. The Stargate ceremony backdrop was made by Ian and his partner who met at a hardware store and bonded over their love of sci-fi.

Let’s peek at their 24-carat-themed gold wedding decor.

See how a plush cat turned a wedding tradition into a super inclusive moment

Brittany and Taylor’s goth history nerd wedding featured a pretty spectacular way to honor ALL of your friends during what’s sometimes an awkward moment at the reception. Brittany’s bouquet toss was for anyone, no matter what their marital status or future plans. Instead of tossing a bouquet (which in this case was a kick-ass SHELL bouquet!), Brittany decided to throw a plush cat. You’ll want to see why.
