A whimsical polyamorous wedding joining two families in awesomeness

“We have a polyamorous family. I have been married to Ben for 11 years, Audree has been married to Allan for 11 years, Allan and I are partners, and Ben and Audree are partners. The four of us live together with our children.” This wedding joined Katie and Audree together, which then bound them all together in love as one family. Let’s give a collective “AW” to this sweet family-focused polyamorous wedding.

Elopement in Washington

A fab elopement on Hurricane Ridge (with a sassy deer!)

Christina and Greg got married on their 17th dating anniversary. It was a beautiful September Wednesday afternoon in the Port Angeles area — a lucky draw for Washington fall weather. As a couple who has been through about half of their lives together, they weren’t focused on sweating the little things. Instead, they had a beautiful and intimate elopement on Hurricane Ridge on a cliff in the Olympic National Forest.

Don’t miss the actual sixpence in the bride’s shoe, the groom’s boutonniere sculpted from metal, and the coffee and Top Pot donuts that followed the ceremony…

A magical Pacific Northwest fairytale wedding with a little Princess Bride (and a mountain goat!)

A little bit of a Princess Bride theme is a favorite way to party. Just take a peek at their themed cornhole game! The rain may have added some stress, but these ladies were troopers when it came to making the best of it and having a blast. When you say your vows in the company of a curious mountain goat (with dubious intentions!), it’s bound to be a killer party. Don’t miss their slip-up when they crowdsourced their bouquets from guests! It turned into a really sweet moment.

All smiles, tears, and cheers for this stunning wedding

All smiles, tears, and cheers for this stunning multicultural wedding

Leila and Calvin blended together traditions from their Filipino, African American, Muslim, and Irish heritages and made it all MAD GOOD. During their ceremony, they had drummers perform and their officiant also included an African tradition of afoshe: eating and drinking different foods and beverages that represented symbols about a marriage.
