A montage of weddings from all four seasons and one nifty Jane Austen how-to
As we near the end of the year, the Offbeat Flickr Pool seemed to cover all of the year’s celebrations and seasons. It felt nice to see some warmth and sun (for those of us in chilly climates).
Hanneke & Laurens’ relaxed Dutch botanical garden wedding
After having to postpone the wedding for health reasons, these two Dutch grad students pulled together their laid-back party with surprise folk dances, interactive games and quizzes, and loads of DIY with friends and family. They also had a gorgeous botanical garden as the backdrop, but only five minutes of sunshine was found the whole day!
Kelley & Seth’s pseudo-Victorian key-themed gaming wedding
A ruby red dress, a steampunk-inspired key theme, and a bunch of board games?! Add on some ultra elegance and crazy hat-wearing, snowball-fighting madness, and I’m sold.
Zoe & Gary’s fantasy Quaker snow-covered wedding
A Quaker ceremony meets a 600-year-old reception hall for the kickiest LARPers-in-love celebration this side of York. Guests braved a winter snow storm and were rewarded with Hungry Hungry Hippos and a cake made of cheese wheels.
Diane & Nicolas’ pseudo-Tudor performance and games wedding
The bride wears a rad crimson cloak and walks down the aisle to… 16-bit game music! This French couple goes Brit for a super fusion of theater, singers, and get-to-know-you games, all with a Tudor influence. Yeah, you should see it.
Liz & Jon’s geeky gamer garden wedding
Foosball, pool, air hockey, and a ton of Dr. Pepper. Combine that with a garden wedding and you’ve got yourself a game night to remember. And whoever caught the 1-up mushroom for the extra life is damn lucky!
