With a love for Civil War reenactment, it was no surprise that this couple and their friends were totally down for a period costume picnic. Add in tons of help from those friends and family with a potluck pulled pork feast, and you’ve got a community-supported party in the making.

A geeky and gorgeous forest preserve wedding

Saeri and Brent were wed at Evans Field, a forest preserve just outside of Chicago. Saeri wore a persimmon-colored dress (to match her ink), they both wore Converse, and they had a ceremony filled with geek references to dinosaurs and zombies. An aunt performed a hula dance, while another aunt read an English and German poem that Saeri’s grandmother wrote for them. It was definitely a mix of cultures and interests that blended so well together.
