Beth & Garrett’s nerdy boozy musical kickballer wedding

Home-brewed beer (including beer ceremony), an Elvis officiant, a hilarious camp wedding guide, and a cocktail hour with lawn games and merit badges — you’ve just described my perfect camp-out party. Don’t even get us started on the tearful first look, the Sharpie pre-tattoo rings, the dads’ pre-ceremony chest bump, and the time-traveling video invitation. Oh, and there’s one more video that we’re keeping a secret. Trust me, you have to see it.

Jillian & Martin’s BBQ & craft beer garden wedding

Leah and Heather were married on June 7th at Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope, PA, where the pair had one of their first dates and countless date nights after.

Anya & Dillon’s Grand Canyon bluegrass beer boat bash

Cowboy boots, an eleventh hour (and serendipitous) bluegrass band, dust-flying dancing, and sky-high views as far as the eye can see — this wedding takes the cake for partying down. Speaking of cake, do you remember the bad-ass Grand Canyon cake we featured? That was only the beginning. Oh, and don’t forget to yell “GORKA” when the time is right.
