Celebrate New Year’s Eve with fireworks, dancing, and ugly Christmas sweaters
It’s New Year’s Eve and time to get down and celebrate the year! This week’s reader submissions from the Offbeat Bride Tribe, the Flickr pool, and Pinterest were full of celebratory shots like fireworks, dancing, singing to live music, and even a Christmas sweater contest.
Unicorns, dragonflies, and an awesome skull stein
Cheryl and Gabe had their table numbers align with photos of themselves at that age. They were pretty sweet at four. The Offbeat Flickr Pool, Pinterest, and the Offbeat Bride Tribe also offered us some custom programs, a unicorn shirt, a dreadlocked ‘do, and a persistent dragonfly.
Mariangela & Ryan’s beach brunch vow renewal
This pair are celebrating more than 14 years of happy marriage: they’re also celebrating a big change in faith. They started this new path with a beach-side ceremony and brunch-style potluck. They had singers at the ceremony, a sunny ceremony in a rainy day, and an epic and romantic beach run a la Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.
A 1950s-inspired Aussie wedding with a serenade
Lucille and Chris were married in the courtyard of University House, Canberra Australia. Chris played his ukulele as Lucille walked down the aisle. So sweet! The pair also opted to have indie cabaret duo The Jane Austen Argument play at the reception.
Tarryn & Dylan’s rock ‘n’ roll retro wedding
This couple had a 2013 wedding date, but after nine years of dating, they said to hell with waiting, let’s get hitched! Three months later they had booked a cool vintage-style restaurant and their nearest and dearest watched them get married in a most excellent retro rock ‘n’ roll fashion. They may not have remembered to get themselves fed on the day, but they did not forget to bring the style!
Carrie & Ryan’s bright lights and Cadillacs late night Vegas wedding
What do you need to get married? This couple says just Vegas, some friends, a little black dress, and a boot full o’ booze! And I’m inclined to agree. In fact, I’m a bit envious of a whole night carousing in a pink Caddy, grabbing strangers for photos, and hitchin’ rides in limos. Sign me up!
