BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here! Increasing visibility for BIPOC folks has been a priority for us since 2008, and note that we always allow folks to self-identify. More about how and why we do this here.

Liz & Suraj’s hilarious Indian-fusion wedding

Indian weddings are often three-day long, non-budget affairs. But this couple managed to merge American and Indian traditions into a budget bonanza including some majorly funny wedding day malfunctions. If the couple duking it out in the wedding games doesn’t get ya, the fashion will.

Adri & Bobby’s damask riverboat wedding

A little bit vintage, a little bit classy, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, and a little bit Jerry Springer. Can I get a hallellujah up in here!? Add in some DIY, a sun dance miracle, and a 96-year-old grandpa who kicks ass and takes names.

Laura Beth & Jesse’s spontaneous fun-filled elopement and “drunch” wedding

Playgrounds, aquariums, ski lifts, a creek, and some quesadillas. Sounds like a killer day. But add in the sweetest elopement to that day and it’s a whole lot more awesome. There’s a video — you don’t want to miss it. Seriously.
