A “getting legalled” wedding sequel at the San Francisco Pride Parade

You might remember Meghan and Anne’s super fun log-cabin bagpipe-y wedding from a few years ago. And although they totally respected their wedding as, well, their wedding, they also wanted to take advantage of the benefits of getting legalled! So, right after the San Francisco Pride Parade in June, after they had finished playing with their bagpipe band, they headed over to City Hall to do the deed in all their parade finery.

Bad-ass brides need an equally bad-ass cake: Xena meets Wonder Woman

Kim and Heather are lovers of Wonder Woman and Xena (as already evidenced by amazing ink!), but their Xena/Wonder Woman cake made by Heather herself… well, takes the cake (sad trombone). But seriously: the Greenville Children’s Museum venue in Greenville, SC, the two dresses, the sword cake cutting, the comic postcard guest book… it’s all a product of super powers, I’m sure of it.

Raina & Michelle’s elegant Disney + Star Wars wedding

We teased this Disney-meets-Star Wars wedding last week and you guys demanded to see MOAR! From their hand-cut rainbow ketubah, Disney and Star Wars mashup decor, lightsaber cake cutters, “Unbreakable Vow” ring book, and overall makes-me-want-to-hug-them adorableness, you’re going to luuuurve it. Oh, and wait until you see how they memorialized their passed loved ones at the ceremony. It didn’t go quite as planned!

Try not to laugh and cry along with this joyful teary wedding

With the number of emotional photos at this wedding (happy ceremony tears, family hugging tears, dance floor cheers, and belly laughs), I’m secretly hoping to catch you at work and make you sniffle at your desk. Muhaha!
