Vanessa & Jason’s Chinese martial arts New Mexican wedding
This pair went all-out on traditions by including lots of lovely moments from their cultures and interests. This included a tea ceremony, martial arts performances, a lion dance, an anniversary dance, and Spanish serenades. It would have been amazing to attend and see all of these carefully crafted elements come together to form this elaborate party. Plus the bride had three dresses, which is AWESOME!
Alter egos, ninjas, and one stellar XKCD cake
The Offbeat Flickr Pool was jumping with cool fashion, cool photo ops, and cool venues. As one bride dances herself down the aisle, another hosts their reception at an arcade. Wrap it all up with some ninjas and XKCD, and you’ve got a wild and woolly Monday Montage.
A hunting lodge vegan wedding with singing vows
Singing vows, locally-sourced and vegan cuisine, granola and plantable tree favors… have I got your attention yet? Despite getting rained out of their chosen forest ceremony site, this couple moved it all into a hunting lodge to continue the singing and celebrating.
