Costumes, elves, and the one ring: An epic fantasy and sci-fi literary adventure wedding
This nerdy pair chose a fantasy/sci-fi literary theme for their wedding, and asked people to come in costume as their favorite literary characters.

Don’t miss the bride’s handmade green corset dress, the book-themed centerpieces, and the key scavenger hunt.
A self-officiated sunrise summit elopement
“We made the climb by headlamp, snuggled up with each other while the day got brighter, and then parted ways to change clothes in private. When we were both ready, we just met back in the middle and went for it — no rehearsal, no audience. It was off-the-cuff, and mostly casual, and absolutely perfect.” Elopements make us teary with their intimacy, and this one is no exception. Come for the romance, stay for the gorgeous scenery.
