Lizzie & Chris’ slope-side snow lovers wedding

A ski instructor meets a snowboarding instructor and it’s love at first powder. What better way to celebrate the marriage of these two snow bunnies than to have the ceremony on the slope itself? Add in some ski-loving details into the cool bar reception and you’ve got a party even the clumsiest of skiers (like me) would love.

Cat & Geoff’s musicians get hitched in a treehouse wedding

When the bride dreams of a treehouse wedding, the bride makes it happen! This couple brought their friends and family to Tennessee from Baltimore to experience an epic venue worthy of every childhood fantasy. And while staying at a local RV park, the locals introduced them to their new marriage motto: just stick it out.

Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory

Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.

Melanie & Justin’s colourful carnival love affair wedding

This couple is known to throw major ragers, and this wedding had to top them all. The order of the day was carnival: popcorn, lemonade, games, candy, and ten confetti canons at the ceremony. It’s weddings like these that make me want to cut out and hit the midway.
