Mel & Tevis’ crafty vegan space wedding
This couple had some twists that threw some family members for a loop, they’re secular, vegan, and genderqueer.

Don’t miss the D20 glass-clinking alternative, the memorial bouquet charms, puzzle guestbook, tons of DIY projects, and the best quote about hips you’ll read today… guaranteed.

Who cares who leads? Non-gendered first dance ideas for all
My brother-in-law — who has never danced himself — once told me that it is only natural in dancing that the man leads and the woman follows.

Marilee & Lizz aka “Sasquatch and gnome” get hitched in a nature park
This “tall and small” couple are giving us feel-good goosebumps today. We’ve got a gnome and Sasquatch cake, etched wood decor, a scenic park venue, and a pup in a bow tie. Just wait until you read what they did for the first time in front of their family. It’s tear-jerking. But our favorite part is the funniest moment. Hint: it contains Boy Scouts and a very special merit badge…
