Hang on tight for dinosaur skellies, kitteh shoes, and a first dance under a T-Rex
You must see this Jewish wedding surrounded by dinosaurs at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas. Samantha and Matt are Californians originally from Houston, and they held their wedding in their home city. Things not to miss: the ceremony overlooking the dino skellies in the Paleontology Hall, the Charlotte Olympia cat shoes (cat ladies unite!), and the first dance underneath a T-Rex. The tablescapes were all different, with moss and grass in terrarium glass bells. You may drool over their macaron-covered cake, too.
Prepare to lose your shit over Dor & Josh’s movie-themed wedding with epic movie posters and a Romy & Michelle first dance
The movie posters in this wedding alone gave us the giggles and are SO worthy of a click here. Don’t miss the bride’s gorgeous reception dress, the short film moments, and the Gremlins star officiant. But the REAL moment here came with the couple’s first dance… an homage to Romy and Michelle. You know the one!
Skulls and pugs and top hats oh my at Julia & Max’s wedding
Candy skulls, skulls on ties, skulls on ties on pugs… this wedding has a bit of goth in it, a bit of hilarity, and a bit of “oh yes please.” Do not miss the bride’s amazing black and white dress, fabulous top hat, and super realistic bone-heeled shoes. There’s also one spoiled little pug who totally knows how to rock his skull tie. You don’t want to miss it.
