Belinda & Craig’s Aussie rock apocalypse wedding
It’s another theme week!! This week is dedicated to the brides and grooms gutsy enough to perform at their own wedding. In others words, this week is for couples who, literally, rocked their wedding! How better to kick off our first ever Rock Your Wedding theme week, than with the bride and groom who rocked their reception? -Becca
Joan and Tom’s upcycled carnival cabaret wedding
We married on September 11, 2010. We’d just met when the 9/11 tragedy occurred. After the initial shock subsided, we made a big feast for the people who lived in our building. That was the first loving thing we did as a couple, so we consider it our anniversary. It made sense to marry on that day (albeit having to explain the story a million times).
Valerie and Noam’s eco-friendly traditional Jewish wedding
Valerie and Noam wanted a traditional Jewish wedding that stayed true to their egalitarian, progressive, feminist, and planet-friendly values. With home-grown jade centerpieces, a blue wedding dress, a groom in an Indian sherwani, and a kosher, vegetarian meal, they created a wedding that reflected who they are and what they care about.
Shaun & Lauren’s Quaker and Buddhist inspired, Seuss-ian beach wedding
Offbeat groom Shaun chimes in to share the story of Lauren and his Dr. Seuss themed, buddhist/quaker inspired beach wedding. Shaun did most of the planning while Lauren was busy with school. He even went as far as referring to himself as “the bride.” SO CUTE!
