A 13-color handfasting and fire dancing at this Quebec wiccan wedding

This Quebec wiccan wedding had a lovely handfasting that involved 13 of their friends, pagan and wiccan rituals, fire dancers, musicians, and so many of the couples’ friends contributing their wares and talents. It turned out to be a community-led wedding with fantasy, goth and viking details, and personal spirituality. You’ll want to take a look, especially at the bride’s amazing dress!

A frostbitten Canadian park elopement (with bison!)

A frostbitten Canadian national park elopement (with bison!)

Bri and Dale had a whirlwind winter elopement at Riding Mountain National Park, followed by a reception a few months later. Manitoba in February isn't when most people would plan an outdoor wedding, but then they wouldn't get to have snow-covered bison as their special guests!

Rock Band, drag kings, and burlesque: this rainbow wedding triumphs

Crystal and Kalem wanted the focus of their wedding to be on major FUN, so that called for Rock Band, board games, personalized crossword puzzles, Mad Libs, a rapper, drag kings, and burlesque. Add in a ring warming, a moment of silence/blessing during the ceremony, a handfasting, and an art gallery surprise from Kalem with loads of art, this rainbow wedding gave us reason to LIVE.

This geeky wedding decor starring Darth Vader wins the internet today

Ginny and Dave are members of the Ontario Ghostbusters, a charity costume organization that participates in a variety of events in order to interact with fans and support charities.

We’re talking awesomely geeky centerpieces featuring the faves from TV and movies, full-size proton packs, and Pixar, Harry Potter, and Star Wars galore. Darth Vader and some stormtroopers made an appearance at the ceremony, too. Keep an eye out for a rogue Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man who tried to ruin everything.
