disability

At Offbeat Wed, we know that disabilities aren’t always visible, and that while some of us might be getting married in a wheelchair or walking down the aisle with a cane, others of us are dealing with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, or other invisible challenges like panic disorders, being neurodivergent, or having social anxiety conditions. Whatever your abilities, we want to help you have a wonderful wedding!

A queer winter wonderland wedding

A delightful community-led queer winter wonderland wedding

“Once Trump was elected, we decided that we (along with our friends and family) really needed a good party to restore some much-needed warm fuzzies.” And thus started a seriously sweet winter wonderland wedding full of handmade bouquets, killer readings, a ring bearing dog, and a gorgeous dessert table (which they almost didn’t get to taste!).

Get ready for the breathtaking handmade dress of all our dreams

The bride wanted a magical fairy realm of wonder and enchantment for her wedding and she killed it! The handmade iridescent blue gown (that she made herself!) is enough to instill awe in everyone, but it’s the whole thing that takes the cake. The blue hair, the top hats, the fantasy details… take me away to the Goblin King! Don’t miss how this bride worked with her chronic illness to DIY so much and even do a special dance with her groom.

A flamingo-filled vow renewal at a renovated brewery (with unity pizza-cutting ceremony!)

Remember Minerva from her insightful guest posts? We’ve got her epic vow renewal that made us love her even more, if that’s possible. This flamingo-filled vow renewal at a 19th-century renovated brewery featured a unity pizza-cutting ceremony, donuts, lots of rosé champagne, and a fun couple’s boudoir shoot!

No spoons left: how I had the best time being very sick at my own wedding

My wedding was the most beautiful day of my life. It really was. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. It was magic, it was us, and I wouldn’t trade one moment of it for anything; from the sappy, teary vows to all that went wrong.

What? It was perfect despite it being imperfect? Don’t be quoting fortune cookies — explain. I was sick. Terribly, nightmarish level sick.
