Friday the 13th wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

A Friday the 13th barn wedding with coffee, skulls, and floral prints

This wedding combines so many disparate things into one cohesive blend of awesomeness. It’s a Friday the 13th barn wedding featuring a gorgeous rose-printed skirt, lots of creepy and elegant skull decor (for Friday the 13th, natch!), Jason masks, a Nightmare Before Christmas cake topper, pop culture Mad Libs, and a lovely outdoor ceremony. Don’t miss the killer coffee truck with accompanying lovey-dovey latte art!

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.

This Chicago brunch wedding slays us with board games and nostalgia

Davora and Roxy exchanged their vows at a kick-ass restaurant in Chicago, Carnivale. They had a board game-themed brunch reception with board game tables, board game centerpieces, and even board game dessert trays. They included Candy Land, Balderdash, Sorry!, and Cranium, among other nostalgia.

Magic: The Gathering engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how Magic: The Gathering and Chipotle led to this nerdtastic engagement shoot

Will and Sara are self-described super nerds (our people!) and rocked a Magic: The Gathering meets Doctor Who engagement session that we couldn’t resist. Table-topping, TARDISing, and smooching — the story of our nerd-loving hearts. They met when she overheard him while walking down the street talking about Magic. As fate would have it, Will walked into the Chipotle line directly behind her and she gathered up the courage to talk to him since she too played Magic. Thus, the photos playing Magic are at none other than Chipotle!
