Charlotte & Jason’s organic farm Sufi wedding

Jason and Charlotte met at school and fell in love over juggling, Sufi singing, and night walks. I love these people already. With lots of crafty touches (including a nettle felted portrait!), tea favors, and a milk and honey ceremony, this wedding has soothing and peaceful written all over it.

Andie & Laurie’s Vaudevillian queer love extravaganza wedding

This performance-based costume wedding had two men of honor, a best lady, a wedding admiral, a ring master, a banjoist and baladeer, a celebrity Lutheran pastor, a Drag Queen Mistress of Ceremonies (who performed a Barbie rendition of Steel Magnolias), and a Dolly Parton flash mob dance (animated for your pleasure). There’s lot of eye candy and some insightful philosophizing too.

Kat & Scott’s gamer geek gathering (with a side of wedding)

This pair knows how to play to their audience: board games, Rock Band, and gamer references all over this joint. They even have D6 cake pops! You’ll also love the sweet ending to the tale of a nervous brother and his ring warming duty. This is one kick-ass geekfest for gamers and those who love them.

Melissa & Robert’s “anchored in love” underwater adventure wedding

This couple likes BioShock 2. A lot. So their wedding had lots of music from the soundtrack, and –of course — had an underwater theme like the game’s underwater city. Totally gamer chic and gorgeous at the same time. Plus sharks. We like sharks.
