The first rule of this boxing match wedding: tell everyone!

Brisbane, Australia natives Christine and Kieron took a raucous route with their wedding by having a “Fight Night”-themed ceremony in a boxing ring. There was a whole lot of trash-talking, naughty jokes, and banter througout. The bout was officiated by Annie Grace Ceremonies and Dave Eller, Fight MC, and thankfully ended in a draw.

You’ll swoon over how these ladies danced into their ceremony

Mary and Emily had been together for ten years waiting for gay marriage to be legalized. Three days after the ban was overturned, Mary called Emily’s mom to ask for her hand in marriage. Her mom’s response was, “Well, it’s about time.” Our favorite part was how they danced into the ceremony that ended with their guests forming a half circle around them. They then shared a dance before the ceremony started and another dance after.

Darkly romantic black wedding shoes [UPDATED for 2022!]

My shoe posts usually focus on shoes that are loud, or at the very least boldly colorful, or if not that, then maybe wedding-y. I almost never include shoes that are black because sometimes I worry maybe they’re not bridal enough.

But today is Black Friday, so maybe that’s a good excuse to in go black and dark-hearted. Well, but not TOO dark-hearted. As always, this is OFFBEAT Bride, so there is some lighthearted ridiculousness like kitties, skulls, and butterflies.

These mohawked rockabilly wedding ladies took a DIYed wedding by storm… literally

Stacie and Crystal were married in Oklahoma, but had their public rockabilly wedding ceremony and reception at a friend’s home in Wichita Falls, TX. Their families and friends had a hand in everything — from officiating, to music, to venue, to cakes, to food, to decorating, it was a homemade-with-love affair. At the end, it was all toasts and cake and smooching… then tornado sirens from all of the bad weather they’d been having. Hey, it probably means good luck, right? Let’s get a load of this mohawked, fabulously coiffed, and stylish pair.
