How we’re making a Swedish kissing tradition into a poly-friendly, queer-friendly wedding ritual
My fiancé and I hold ethical non-monogamy as one of the values at the core of our relationship. So we are determined to make sure that value is represented at our microwedding. While researching wedding customs traditional to our ethnic backgrounds, we discovered that there actually exists a ritual that’s time-honored, joyful, culturally-specific, and non-monogamous…

Lauren and Olivia (aka “Chicken”) had the most dreamy farm wedding with epic views of the Catskill Mountains. We’re talking rustic nature-inspired centerpieces, a rich autumn color palette, and a a rainbow effect in the bridesmaids dresses.
Don’t miss the farm animals milling about, the lawn games, the handcrafted details, Olivia’s chicken cufflinks(!), and these two gorgeous people in love…
Two stunning grooms at this Cowley Manor wedding
We aren’t often privy to the speeches and vows at weddings (mostly photos around here!), but when we are, we have to be prepared to be blown away. And in the case of these two gorgeous grooms and their Cowley Manor wedding in the UK, it was just masses of tears.
Both of them slayed their vows and speeches (both funny and sweet as hell!), and YOU get to see it, too!
Travel through Tatooine, Middle Earth, Westeros & more at this pop culture travel-themed wedding (with April Fools pranks!)
Our geekdom runs deep and we're known to throw themed parties, so settling on a single fandom felt forced for an event of this magnitude. Instead, we decided to put a little bit of everything we love together for a truly unique experience. For a while, though, nothing fit together. Plus, we were annoyed by traditions that felt were “expected.” So, we identified what really mattered: bringing the people we love together and staying true to ourselves.
Then something clicked for our theme: inspired by a wall in our home covered in fictional maps. We chose a Pop Culture Travel theme!
Succulents, wishing trees, & a zither at this modern art gallery wedding
Joanne and Shandra’s brunch wedding at an art gallery was full of sweet and emotional moments, a ring dog, cultural touches, and adorable brunch bites. Their decor was a perfect match for the art gallery wedding, including a wishing tree, their answer to a guestbook where guests could hang handwritten cards with advice and well-wishes.
There were succulents, a zither(!), and a processional song for each lady (“Love Today” by MIKA for Shandra and the Rocky Theme Song for Joanne). Don’t miss the macarons that said “Happy Wedding” on them in three different languages!
