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.
Cindy & Joe’s steampunk sci-fi DIY wedding
Cost-effectiveness, steampunk, fun times, and recycling were the tenets of this wedding. Those along with a whole lot of style! With some geeky references and really sweet love letters (full of psychic connections!), this steampunk wedding will definitely leave you thinking that these two were meant to be.
A lakeside wedding with ribbon wands and spontaneous singing
Hailing from my hometown of Chicago, Briavael and Nikki had an outdoor ceremony in Berger Park, right next to a very hazy Lake Michigan. But the best part that I can see is that everyone (guests included) all broke into song during the ceremony.
A Rube Goldberg machine and epic gamefest wedding
This wedding wasn’t about dancing or put-on formality. Instead, it was about good old fashioned FUN and a whole lot of games. One of the main events was having all the guests help build a Rube Goldberg machine! Also included: a pop quiz about the couple, homemade cookies and milk, a ceremony officiated by “The Rev for Whatev,” jump ropes, giant dominoes, and tons of toys.
