A real life Pokémon scavenger hunt proposal as seen on @offbeatbride

This girl proposed to her boyfriend with a real life Pokémon scavenger hunt proposal

I knew that if I were capable of any coding at all I would need to propose to my boyfriend Jacob with a Pokémon game. Since I have no experience coding anything, there was no way I could make him a game. I decided to go a completely different route: a real world Pokémon scavenger hunt proposal with wild Pokémon and gyms.

Topless engagement shoot on a cold mountain in Wales as seen on @offbeatbride

This topless engagement shoot on a cold mountain in Wales is super freeing (SFW!)

Imagine dropping trow on a freezing mountain in Snowdonia, Wales, UK to capture some of the most epic engagement photos ever. Does it make for striking shots? Oh hell yes. This gorgeous pair, Sarah and Ben, had tea, played around, and went almost Full Monty in this fabulous topless engagement shoot. Don’t worry, it’s totally safe for work. Go start looking and be inspired for your own less-then-clothed engagement photos…

How to make a diamond look smaller (yes, that’s a thing some people want!)

Do you know that if you search for “how to make a diamond look smaller” in Google, ALL you get is results for how to make a diamond look bigger? How lame is that? I’m not a “big honkin’ diamond” kind of girl, nor do I want to flash a diamond-studded “rob me!” sign around. So here are some of the ways I’m scheming up on how to make a diamond look smaller…

Weird and wonderful ways to propose (that actually worked!) as seen on @offbeatbride #wedding #proposals

16 wonderful and weird wedding proposals (that totally worked!)

If there’s one thing we love, it’s a good proposal story. Now, we really love an intimate, meaningful, and sweet proposal, but sometimes you just want to hear a neat story of nerdy, wonderful, and weird wedding proposals. We’ve seen some amazing offbeat wedding proposals and we wanted to round up some of the ones we’ve featured, some we love from around the web, and some that have just become legend. Let’s go down the rabbit hole of geeky, romantic, and wonderfully weird wedding proposals.

Stop posing and start cuddling with an intimate photo session

Stop posing and start cuddling with an intimate photo session

When it comes to non-wedding couples’ photo sessions, we’ve already seen rad engagement sessions, trash-the-dress shoots, and amazing, body=posi boudoir shoots. But we are loving the concept of an intimate photo session with the two of you and your chosen photographer. There’s just something so sweet and vulnerable in these shots. If you have the option of getting a separate session with your wedding photographer, an intimate photo session like this just might be a great choice.

Where's Waldo engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

It’s easy to spot the adorable at this Where’s Waldo engagement shoot

Corrie and Aaron had the most amazing Where’s Waldo engagement shoot at a one-of-a-kind amusement park called Kennywood. They had a rad-as-hell day wandering around the park, interacting with all the guests, and just having a blast as Waldo and Wilma. This shoot sets the stage for their eventual carnival-themed wedding with a bounce house, dunking booth, and bonfire. Damn, that’s a lot of fun. Let’s see it!
