Kim & Greg’s low-key garden party Manhattan wedding

This couple didn’t let a tornado take their venue from them in this budget garden and lounge party. Lots of crafting and thought went into this one.

Jacqueline & Louis’ rockin’ country manor barbecue wedding

A purple dress, piercings, tats, and an old country manor. Nothing wrong with that combination. This couple somehow found a way to combine Led Zeppelin and a super traditional venue into a fab day for all. Even the gate-crashing kitteh agrees.

Rose & Aaron’s zombies and pizza Wooly Bugger farm wedding

One plot of land, lovingly transformed into a place where a community comes together to see a couple wed… and grill pizza. And chill with farm animals. And make s’mores. And fend off the zombie apocalypse. Oh hell yes.

Liz & Suraj’s hilarious Indian-fusion wedding

Indian weddings are often three-day long, non-budget affairs. But this couple managed to merge American and Indian traditions into a budget bonanza including some majorly funny wedding day malfunctions. If the couple duking it out in the wedding games doesn’t get ya, the fashion will.
