Geek chic Dungeons & Dragons meets a traditional Jewish ceremony
Dragon cake toppers, a giant D20, ring bearer teddy bears (who rocked the dance floor!), and a gorgeous traditional Jewish ceremony with a few added elements that made it personalized. This traditional meets geek wedding combines everything we covet. Just wait until you see the battle between Guilder and Florin at the reception!
Andrea & Chris’ nature meets Battlestar Galactica wedding (with ship centerpieces!)
These two are both huge Battlestar Galactica fans, so there were lots of fun references: ship place settings, “so say we all” blessing, and wedding party cufflinks. Oh, and you may need new pants after you see the immaculate glass and wood gazebo-style reception space among the leaves of a truly gorgeous forest.
Christie & Jesse thrill everyone with their surprise Star Trek wedding
A surprise wedding is one thing. A surprise wedding with a Star Trek and LEGO theme is another. But a surprise Star Trek wedding planned entirely by the maid of honor?! Now that’s a whole other level of new for us. But when you see the photos, we think you’ll agree that it turned out fabulously. Just wait until you see the first look, the Tim Horton’s donuts, the Star Trek cake, and the awesome dancing.
Shana & Sean’s Jewish meets Trinidad wedding with Carnival headdresses and a huge reception surprise
Jewish traditions meet Trinidadian traditions at this fabulous wedding in Toronto. We’re talking Carnival headdresses, salsa dancing flash mob-style, a gorgeous chuppah, a chair dance, the Hora, and even a caricaturist at the reception. Don’t miss the bride’s adorable short dress with sleeves, lantern “bouquets” turned centerpieces, and the piece de resistance: their amazing multiple choice quiz announcement at the reception.
In defense of STAG AND DOE parties: How a buck and doe party saved my wedding
For those not in the know, these parties are a fundraiser for engaged couples. The idea is that attendees pay an admission (usually around $10-$15), and play games that are designed to make some money for the couple getting married (think dollar dances, coin toss games, raffles, etc). Don’t get me wrong, I get how some people may be weirded out by this idea. But I think about it this way…
Hailey & Delainy’s outdoor wedding with an heirloom dress, log ceremony, and fake tattoos
We are loving the bride’s hair, the log-cutting ceremony, the wedding party’s outfits, and the sweet and touching memorials to the bride’s mother (and so many others!) at this wedding. You’ll also definitely want to see what the bride’s stepdaughter got into before the ceremony that left her dad drawing a very humorous line.
