Rainbows and roller coasters abound at this Knoebel’s wedding in Pennsylvania

Lizzy and Nate met at an invitational board game convention, so their fun side had to be pretty well-defined. So when they decided to have their wedding at Knoebel’s Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, the fun factor was a done deal. They even had a “first plunge” on a coaster after the ceremony.

Aja and Brian’s comic books meet Doctor Who wedding was an awesome blend of elegance and geekiness. With the backdrop of The Atrium at the Curtis Center in Philly and the TARDIS and superhero details, it fit this fab and geeky pair perfectly.

You’ll dig the card box that Brian and his dad built to look like the TARDIS and comic book character USB favors. Oh, and don’t miss their surprise “reveal cake” that was all business in the front and party in the back.

It’s all fun and games until an epic cueca starts (learn what it is!)

“The couple that plays together stays together” was the motto of Drea and Steve’s wedding. This was evident from start: the wedding invitation that was delivered in a cornhole bag!

Anne Boleyn weds Freddy Krueger: When a Halloween costume wedding wins over every horror fan

We wanted potential guests to know what they were getting into right away and used our invitations to set the tone. They had a photo of us as bride and groom zombies and included a “Costumes Required” section. We had a basket of masks available at the ceremony in case people didn’t take the invitation seriously but our guests outdid themselves. Every single person got behind our theme and showed up in an amazing costume. Despite the instructions to our guests many thought we were going to wear “normal” bride and groom attire. We proved them wrong and got married in our dream Halloween costumes. Anne Boleyn weds Freddy Krueger? Why not?!
