Marlene & Pete’s DIY vegan wedding in a factory

Vegan fare (barbecued seitan!), an awesome revamped factory venue, and the cutest vintage-inspired couple — they’ve won me over. Add in tons of dancing, some air guitar champions, and kick-ass karaoke, and you’ve got major fun on hand.

Allycen & Lisa’s intimate road trip wedding

This wedding was held on one of the bride’s late father’s birthday. That alone was a moving tribute. The rest of the wedding lived up to the sentiment with the bride’s 91-year-old grandmother (and her purse!) walking her down the aisle, the tribute to love in the ceremony, and the caterers joining in with the celebrating to complete the guest list.

A sun-filled same-sex Jewish wedding with an eco-friendly mindset

With an eye for using local businesses and salvaged materials, we already like this wedding. But add in two gorgeous ladies, a fabulous spring day at Joaquin Miller Park, and a personalized chuppah, and I am in! Don’t miss the matching purple flats and bookish details too.

They may not have remembered to get themselves fed on the day, but they did not forget to bring the style!
