We love us some rockabilly, and we also love it when there’s a chic tulle headpiece, flash tattoo decor, a squee-worthy first dance, and our own [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-reverend-d"]Rev. D[/vendor-heart] presiding! And you’ll love the traditional Polish-Slovak bridal dance that made the groom prove he will move mountains (of people!) to get to his bride.

Faye & Mike’s pagan LARPing gamer nerds wedding

These LARPing, role-playing cuties wanted a Renaissance Faire wedding, but had to swap to a venue that was closer to the airport for out-of-towners. But they still totally rocked their Ren Faire flair with dragon goblets, fantasy-themed tables, D20 candy favors, and a foam sword arch (that totally surprised the groom!). Come all ye who seek fantasy and mischief! Just make sure you read their biggest challenge — it’ll put everything into perspective.
