Erin & Jay’s queer Jewish Dominican wedding
This pair has an awesomely diverse community willing to celebrate and totally donate their time and energy into making this wedding rock. And boy, did it. In addition to the bride’s handmade dress (out of a sari!) and groom’s kick-ass suit, there was wedding party aisle dancing, ukulele toasts, and a giant group hug right after the ceremony.
Cat eyes, wayfarers, and rhinestones: eyeglasses for everyone
It’s Geek Week, friends, and if there’s one thing geeks know about it, it’s kickin’ eyewear, amirite? We love our ladies in lenses, so let’s see what kind of frames we can find online for both men and women to wear with their fancy wedding duds.
Piranha plants and comic books at Peace Arch Park
Mary and Andrew were married in Blaine, Washington at Peace Arch International Park, which is between Surrey, British Columbia and Blaine, Washington. It’s also Geek Week, where we celebrate our nerdy and pop culture-loving comrades, and this wedding totally fits the bill with comic books and old school Nintendo references.
Fab dreads, skull flask garters, and a groom in shining armor
Karly and Steve are my new deadlock heroes. Karly’s two-tone updo is just gorgeous. This week’s reader submissions were full of other amazing shots, too, like skull-patterned flask garters, a groom in shining armor, an air plant bouquet, and a sidewalk chalked save-the-date. All of these submissions are making 2013 start off with a bang.
Kelsey & Heather’s lesbian family’s farm fresh wedding
Double the brides, double the rainbow! These two brides were married on a rainy day in a big barn full of family and friends. With locally-sourced scrumptious foods and touches of their most recent home in Tanzania, this globe-trotting family stretched their wedding day into a longer party to spend as much time as possible with guests. See how they wove their words and community vows into a most beautiful cry-face…
Cake-loving kids, herb centerpieces, and some bad-ass wedding parties
These mini members of Kathleen and her groom’s wedding party have needs too, guys. It was a pretty adorable way to add some levity and get the kids involved. The sign behind this ones says, “Hey Uncle Tommy, here comes your bride!” In addition to this bit of sweetness in the reader submissions, we’ve got some actual cake (with geeky toppers!), a handfasting with lovely herb centerpieces, and a fair few awesome wedding party shots.
