Michelle & Chris’ relaxed vineyard wedding

After a serious illness threatens this wedding, the pair comes out swinging with a gorgeous vineyard venue (with matching wine barrel cake!), a bride and bridesmaid color swap, and even a papier-mache pig card box.

Caitlin & Kaitlyn’s secret garden lesbian wedding

This is one of those weddings where some family drama has a silver lining and a a happy alternative ending. It also has lots of geektastic references to Doctor Who and Tolkien, of which I totally approve. It’s obvious that these two have an awesome community of love helping them create and celebrate.
