Lauren & Marco’s offbeat lite Filipino American wedding
This pair wanted to mix some traditions with offbeat ways. So get ready for traditional Filipino food, invitations, barongs, and 35 sponsors! They also opted for a Unitarian ceremony, which presented its own challenge for the bride’s Catholic family. You’ll definitely want to heed her advice when it comes to that. So head in and ogle the gorgeous Wai-Ching and Unique Vintage dresses, the purple glow-y tent, and the choreographed first dance story.
Tatica & Richzendy’s Venezuelan gamer wedding
Ooh, our first wedding featured in Venezuela! And it couldn’t be more awesome. The scenery is too die for (despite being the coldest part of the country), the hair and fashion is kick-ass, and the lightsaber cake-cutting is hilarious. It all took place where the Yavin 4 location was filmed for Star Wars IV. As it says, “Great events happened here on Yavin 4.” Oh, and just wait until you hear what the priest kept doing at the ceremony!
Clara & Justin’s massive mix of geekery and love wedding
We teased this contender for most geeky references ever in a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and now you’ll get the whole story AND all the fandom references we know you want! We’re talking Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Firefly, World of Warcraft, Dracula, Sherlock, Transformers, Myst, Diablo… GASP… Portal, Lord of the Rings, Mario… WHEW, I can’t even go on. There’s too many. Go on without us. But know that it’s dangerous to go alone. Take this wedding.
Faye & Mike’s pagan LARPing gamer nerds wedding
These LARPing, role-playing cuties wanted a Renaissance Faire wedding, but had to swap to a venue that was closer to the airport for out-of-towners. But they still totally rocked their Ren Faire flair with dragon goblets, fantasy-themed tables, D20 candy favors, and a foam sword arch (that totally surprised the groom!). Come all ye who seek fantasy and mischief! Just make sure you read their biggest challenge — it’ll put everything into perspective.
