Natalie & Matthew’s homebrewed kilted lakeside wedding

This pair may have never dreamed of their wedding much before planning it, but it’s certainly become one of our dream weddings. With kilts, an emerald green dress, homebrewed beer, and Celtic wishing stones, it was pretty magical. But just wait until you see whose phone buzzed during the unplugged ceremony and the April Fool’s prank they played on the guests!

Morgan & Nicole’s dreamy mountain wedding

Yep, we said “dreamy” and we mean it! Dreaming about those mountains, that lake, that EPIC hotel, and those two sexy-as-hell brides is just about the only thing that can be done after seeing it. Sure, they may have almost sunk into the lake, and maybe they hadn’t had tons of practice with PDA, but seriously, shit be worth it.

A scenic lakeside nautical wedding

Brittany and Judy, both looking as if they walked out of a magazine (including a super fab pantsuit that reminds me of this one), had their wedding at the equally drool-inducing Horseshoe Bay Resort in Austin, Texas. The views from the ceremony site will blow you away. Christina Carroll Photography captured the day and couldn’t help herself from getting into the joy and epic wattage smiles. Who could blame her? Now go check out the first look, matching bouquets, lakeside views, and nautical details.

Ellen & Paul’s summer camp peacock handfasting

Rising from the depths of the lake at summer camp, it’s…. the most adorable crocheted Cthulhu bride and groom cake toppers — the little bride Cthulhu with her peek of peacock dress and the little groom Cthulhu in his kilt and beard. This wedding embraced the gentle nods to weird and sweet personal touches, but shining smiles and hearty laughs win the day.
