Karen & Jennifer’s queer Hindu and vintage fashion wedding
While these two ladies had only expected a tiny ceremony, their friends and neighbors hijacked the day with the local media and well-wishers, a giant balloon arch, and a champagne lunch. Their son added some major adorable points with his violin, and one of their witnesses had me in tears with her infectious sobbing. Guh. I’ve never seen so many huge, permanent smiles.
Antonia & Brian’s historians combine worlds wedding
These two met at The National Archives, so photos there were required. But after that, it was all about the amazing crocheted red dress, the choreographed dance, the meaningful ceremony rituals, and the awesome song written by the bride’s closest friend. Hungarian, British, and Irish influences reigned, but it was all about inclusion at this sweet wedding.
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. But somehow these two managed to infuse their concert-going, comics-loving, board game-playing selves into a traditional Armenian Orthodox celebration. Add in the Japanese influences and you’ve got some multicultural mash-ups to rival all others.
Miranda & Evan’s redwood feel-good wedding
In an effort to combine their love of the East Coast, local West Coast food and drink, and their mutual multicultural backgrounds, this pair ended up with a conch shells, awesome beer from Philly, heaps of awesome DIY, and of course, the totally impressive backdrop of redwoods.
