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 wedding comes full circle in this couple’s coffee shop of love
Maeraj and Michael met online and their first date lasted twelve and a half hours! About a year and a half later, Michael proposed at that same coffee shop, Back to the Grind. And where were the ceremony and reception held? That same coffee shop! It’s full circle for this love story.
Mary & Charles’ crafty roller derby tiki wedding
This destination wedding brings a reluctant to fly Midwest family to San Diego for a tiki-meets-roller derby party with cool DIY details like crocheted bouquets. Things get pretty crazy at the reception with an order to drink more booze and a lady in a chicken hat. It also takes a pretty cool bride to admit her mistake in her advice to other Offbeat Brides.
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.
