Sasha and Masya’s 2018 wedding

Sasha and Masya said that when they met, it was love at first sight and it seemed like it had come straight out of ancient Greek mythology. So it made perfect sense to channel the gods in an ancient Greek ceremony pulling from modern Greek traditions. In terms of style, this is where the pair shined. Think transparent lace in Greek goddess style, a blue mohawk, lots of amazing ink, bare feet, bejeweled anklets, and a pleated white Greek-inspired skirt and white sandals on the groom.

Two stunning grooms at this Cowley Manor wedding

We aren’t often privy to the speeches and vows at weddings (mostly photos around here!), but when we are, we have to be prepared to be blown away. And in the case of these two gorgeous grooms and their Cowley Manor wedding in the UK, it was just masses of tears.

Both of them slayed their vows and speeches (both funny and sweet as hell!), and YOU get to see it, too!

When a French couple has a Western-meets-Laotian wedding in Laos

Chansouda and Phalakone are a French couple who grew up and met in Paris, moved to Montreal, and then returned to their roots to get married in Luang Prabang, Laos. They were married in a GORGEOUS villa, Villa Ban Khoy, a French-Lao house which sits on its own small peninsula.

They then had a Laotian ceremony AND a Western wedding in the afternoon. This one is a sight, y’all!
