Emily & Branan’s Star Wars, wrestling, and badminton wedding

PEZ dispenser and Simpsons centerpieces, a baseball card guestbook, a huge styrofoam Yoda, and badminton birdie decor… have we boggled your mind enough yet? Oh, well then you may want to sit down for the groom’s outfit reveal. Think Randy “Macho Man” Savage at his wedding. It’s epic, but don’t miss the bride’s badminton racquet bouquet, Murder, She Wrote unplugged ceremony sign, and rubber ducky place cards.

Briana, Joshua, & Tony’s stories and songs love triangle wedding

With this wedding, we’re getting a two-fer: a legal ceremony between a bride and a groom, and a handfasting ceremony between that bride and groom and their partner. It’s all about the tear-y groom, the cake-saving groom, the bride in a gorgeous blue dress, and three people totally in love. And don’t miss the tears-welling-like-mad triple kiss!

Jade & Jonathan’s down-to-earth backyard wedding

A painted mailbox, an adorably awkward bride/grandfather walk down the aisle, and a top-your-own doughnut bar — oh hell yeah, this wedding is Fun City. This wedding also has one of the funniest moments we’ve read about in awhile. Let’s just say there was a really big mix-up in locations.
