Come gawk at grooms with long hair
We give a lot of love to the looks of our Offbeat Brides — I mean, we’ve got archives full of posts about birdcage veils and fascinators and nonfloral bouquets — so it’s totally time to give some limelight to our grooms too. This week, let’s respect the hair, man, and admire 20 ways our grooms rock their gorgeous, long hair.
Chelsea & Jesse’s The Big Lebowski-themed wedding
After you see the Folgers cans, the starburst neon signs, the Dudist officiant (dressed as Walter, natch), the paint brush bouquet, The Dude groom, and the green and black homage-to-Maude gown, there’s only one thing to say about this Big Lebowski wedding: WE ABIDE. There’s even more to see, so click on in and start counting all the references you can find to The Dude and the Achievers. Plus, a bowling alley venue pretty much guarantees good times.
Jen & Rod’s papercraft-y city gamer wedding
These UK gamers certainly know how to put effort into their decor — you might lose your shit over their amazing papercraft centerpieces based on game developers. But it’s the little touches that made us grin: the Calvin & Hobbes vows, the kitty collar moment, the serenade-turned-glass crash moment(!), and of course, the big love for their friends and family. This is a geektastic-meets-metal winner, you guys.
Greta & Erty’s community-made Victorian-styled wedding weekend
You know those weddings where you just end up grinning like a damn fool because everyone just looks glowing with happiness and gratefulness and someone walks by and thinks you’re watching something naughty? Yeah, well, this is that kind of wedding. Get ready to look very silly laughing and crying at adorable guitar-playing dads, top hat- (and ice cream-) wearing couples, inflatable horse and pool noodle jousts, giant Jenga, tear-jerking ceremony songs… and I can’t even fit it all in here!
