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.

Stephanie & Morgan’s whiskey and wildflowers wedding

If you can’t settle on just one theme, go ahead and blend in all the things you love. This pair started with the wildflowers, and added whiskey, subtle sci-fi quotes, funky music, and robots, and in one photo, the groom looks like he’s so happy he could float on air. Check out how they blended their faiths, families, and traditions into one amazing wedding.

Lauren & Tyler’s old time rock ‘n’ roll music madness wedding

Music was so interwoven into the fabric of this wedding. From their music venue to the guitar picks in the bride’s hair, the DIY record luminary centerpieces and the guestbook guitar, this couple rocked their wedding. Plus, their mis-matched bridesmaids not only out-shoed each other with some killer stilettos, but wait till you see their faces during the bouquet toss!

Alyssa & John’s homemade Oktoberfest barbecue in Amish Pennsylvania

Apples and pigs and pickles, oh my! This Oktoberfest barbecue wedding is full of food, but the nods to personal passions steal the show. What happens when two chefs love Eagles football, Rocky, apples, pie, and each other? A very Pennsylvania wedding, rain and/or shine.
