Count the fandoms at this elegant & crafty super-nerd puzzlefest wedding
I commissioned a Renaissance faire vendor to make my purple leather and multicolor dyed silk dress with an ornate Sailor Moon themed Silver Millennium detail on the back, and both of us wore cloth shoes that I had covered in art representing our favorite fandoms. We called our mixed-gendered wedding parties the Bridesguard and Groomsguard, and the perfect metaphor for us as a couple actually occurred right before the wedding when they took us out and shielded us from each others' sight so we could do an Articuno raid in Pokémon Go standing back to back before the ceremony.
Don your wings & feathers for this whimsical animal menagerie wedding (with a unicorn first look!)
Amie and Michelle’s original plan was to elope in a daffodil field, but instead they opted for a relaxed ceremony in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood where personality and expressiveness outweighed decor and tradition. Capitol Hill has a lot of pride around its rich LGBTQ culture and history, so it just made sense for them. The ceremony and reception itself took place at Sole Repair, which is a stunning window-lit urban venue and fit their aesthetic perfectly. Just wait until you see the surprise unicorn first look!
A modern and edgy wedding at Mr. West Cafe Bar in Seattle
Christine and Eric had a glorious wedding day that was edgy and modern and full of amazing fashion choices. Eric’s burgundy suit, though… GAH. Amazing. The day started with a sweet first look under a viaduct where Eric got a bit tearful when he saw how gorgeous Christine looked in her off the shoulder gown. Then it was off to the fabulous Mr. West Cafe Bar for the wedding itself…
Spot all of the nerdy touches and adorable dogs at this wedding in the Redwoods
We were going for if Wes Andersen threw an early ’00s high school dance in the forest. We wanted lots of nerdy pop culture touches, but nothing too heavy-handed. We were in the same nerdy friend group in high school and actually dated for two weeks before going out separate ways. I was married to someone else for a decade but when that ended we reconnected. We have all the same friends and even the same godkids, so our wedding was like a giant reunion.
