Kimmy & Brent get “Carrie-d” at their Evil Dead-themed wedding

When a wedding starts at an Evil Dead: the Musical show and ends by being “Carrie-d” in buckets of blood, you’re at a pretty kick-ass wedding. With the entire cast in tow, a “Deadite” minister, a glass shotgun full of tequila, and one horror-loving couple, we dare you to enter this wedding and come out alive.

This Harry Potter DIY wedding wins the internet today

I tried to encapsulate the epic magic of this Harry Potter-themed wedding and the only thing that works is O.M.G. The wands as bouquets, the MANY DIYed details (potions, divination, the snitch kiss, the book page bouquet, the handmade signs!), and the cake… you have to see the cake! Anyone will love this wedding, but my Harry Potter fans will find it… to Avada Kedavra for.

Pugs, brooches, and glamour: Catherine & Chris’ quirky pug lovin’ wedding

Some people may balk at your photos with your beloved pups, but this couple knows exactly how to ignore those silly “rules” — your pugs, your photos, your way! Add in the playing card details, the GIANT red + brooch flowers, super sentimental brooch bouquet, chic as hell groomswoman, and adorably mismatched ceremony seating, and you’ll be as much in love as we are.

Jess & Casey’s dark, snowy fairytale in the mountains wedding

We don’t even know where to start with this gorgeous shindig in the mountains of Colorado. You HAVE to see the dark, elegantly goth fashion (and makeup on the bride and groom), the nature-sourced, video game and movie-themed decor (Skyrim! Game of Thrones! Snow White and the Huntsman!), the snow-capped backdrops, and super awesome guest book idea that we’ve never seen before.
