A quirky rooftop elopement in Las Vegas (with special guest Chewbacca!)

A quirky rooftop elopement in Las Vegas (with special guest Chewbacca!)

Lynelle and Matt wanted something different for their rooftop elopement and they absolutely succeeded, as you’ll soon see. Chalk up the awesomeness to the American flag pants, killer gold sequin jacket, the skyline of old Vegas, and a tiny after-party in downtown Las Vegas. Oh, and there’s the whole matter of the Chewbacca officiant in a suit.

It’s weird, it’s ultra fun, it’s a little nerdy (for Star Wars day!), and it’s a whole lot of us falling over ourselves to see it. But there’s no waiting for you… time to see the sweet little rooftop elopement…

This is the magic that happens when Disney fans get married

This is the magic that happens when Disney coworkers get married

Jessie and Adam are huge Disney fans AND talented artists who both work for Disney. That combination makes for a seriously magical, seriously eye-popping Disney-themed wedding. The handmade Disney Classic-inspired centerpieces alone had us freaking out.

I wished upon a star and received this gorgeous Disney wedding. Won’t you come and see it?

There's a beautiful reason why this San Francisco wedding was held on the USS Potomac

There’s a beautiful reason why this San Francisco Bay wedding was held on the USS Potomac

Nicole and Santiago chartered the USS Potomac (Roosevelt’s former White House boat) for their lovely San Francisco Bay wedding. A live brass band kept everyone dancing, even while rain poured down. Thankfully rain = rainbows! When you hear the reason for the boat wedding, your eyes may start leaking.

Red hills and panda cookies at this desert Vegas wedding in the Valley of Fire

Red hills and panda cookies at this desert wedding in the Valley of Fire

Marty and Isabel hail from Darwin, Australia and wanted an outdoor reception in the deserts of Las Vegas. They chose the stunning red hills backdrop of the Valley of Fire. The ceremony had some acoustic guitar and a really lovely floral backdrop that matched Isabel’s bouquet. They followed it up with custom cat and panda cookies (as well as a cake!). Then it was off to Vegas proper for some partying.
