Lenna & Matt’s big fat traditional Armenian and Japanese wedding

The bride comes from a traditional Armenian background, so her offbeat spirit had a ton to contend with.

Erin & Michael’s half-Catholic, half-talent show wedding

Take a Catholic family and mix it up with every kind of performer you can imagine, and you’ll come up with this wedding. Belly dancing, stilt-walking, singing, dancing, and a sweet little ceremony to boot. Add in a few Star Wars and Monty Python references and you’ve got the complete package.
