Elizabeth & James’ woodland Victorian fantasy wedding

Just wait until you see this bride’s custom-made blue/grey fantasy-inspired dress. It’s the icing on the cake that is this Pagan meets garden wedding in New Hampshire. But the best parts are definitely in the dancing. Get ready for some “Time Warp” shenanigans and “Fly Me to the Moon” romance.

Offbeat Bride interview about unplugged weddings on New Hampshire Public Radio

I first wrote about unplugged weddings way back in 2011, with a two-post series. The posts went crazy viral and in the three years since then, the idea has picked up major steam. The Huffington Post noticing the trend in 2012, and New York Times picking up on the concept in 2013. I’m happy to say that the concept is now popular enough that it’s no longer seen as “offbeat” in any way.

Jen & Nick’s Warcraft and weaponry wedding

Pick a side: Horde or Alliance for this geektastic World of Warcraft, LEGO, and crafted weapons (worthy of the best cosplay) wedding. Instead of a sweetheart table, a loot table… instead of traditional table numbers, raid bosses. Pick your weapon, regen your mana, and get ready to raid at this wedding worthy of the word “WoW.”
