The love these guys have for nature is clear — there are so many animal and plant touches. These guys are also big-time Wes Anderson fans, and used a bit of the filmmaker’s style — especially with references to Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Michelle & Lucas’ DIY literary wedding with the 10th Doctor

The Day of the Doctor is coming in honor of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. What better way to relish one of our fave fandoms than to have a Doctor Who theme week? Today we’ve got a pair with a penchant for books, comics, and of course, the 10th Doctor! The groom even wore his signature suit.
