A reader round-up full of smiles, tears, cheers, and FEELS!
Carolyn and Kaleisha are just making my day with their beautiful smiles and that high-five down the aisle. This week our Flickr pool was flooded with photos like this — of the most adorable and emotional couples! I seriously fell in love with all your smiles, tears, and celebratory high-fives. Scroll through this reader round-up with me and try not to feel the feels.
Reader Round-up: Fuzzy cuteness, custom invites, and non-floral bouquets
Y’all, I’m bugging OUT over this photo that Dr Bojangles submitted to our Flickr Pool. But that’s just the tip of this week’s round-up… there are a couple furry wedding creatures, a sweet wedding ring set, and a romance novel-inspired wedding invite hand-drawn by a groom…
Jodi & Kim’s glow sticks and bling wedding
This wedding has an official “flower disbursement” and “ring security agents.” Basically, they mean business. On top of that, a dog walked down the aisle, a fish was memorialized, and glow sticks featured prominently in the unity ceremony. I think we’re in for some fun. Oh, and you have to read about the jaw-dropping encounter with their first videographer. It was NUTS.
Stacey & Ben’s family farm home-grown wedding
This groom’s mad DIY skills are going to make your jaw drop. He built the gazebo they got married under — no big deal. The couple’s whole family got in on the DIY action, from growing the flowers to gathering the tablecloths, and wait till you see the bonfire they built, lit by the full harvest moon!
Tattoos and lace with an iceberg backdrop
Canadian bride Alicia and her Australian groom Andrew celebrated their wedding during iceberg season in Quidi Vidi village in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Alicia is a tattoo artist, so they were able to get some fun shots in her tattoo studio. Oh, and let’s not forget their pup who dressed up for the occasion.
Shana & Leon’s bluegrass wedding in the woods
This pair loves hiking, trees, awesome local beer, and good barbecue. What better ingredients are there for a campground wedding under the trees? Oh, maybe the addition of a kick-ass bluegrass band that kept everyone dancing well into the night. With some ceremony accompaniment, an adorable uncle reading poetry, and dogs and kids galore, this was a wedding with a lot of heart.
