A self-uniting wedding on a historic boat

We’re on a boat for this one, folks, and the trip is well worth it. We’ve got two fabulous gowns, a groom styled after a dapper character from Rock Band, groomsmen dancing to the Power Rangers theme, and the sweetest ceremony reading story EVER. Oh, and just try not to be jealous of the unplanned fireworks show during the reception!

Lauren & Vaughn’s Mennonite kid-friendly farm wedding

This wedding will have a lot of fans: kids, chickens, color lovers, singers, and of course…. US! You’ve got hymn singing, Indian food, and what I’m going to excitedly describe as a Nickelodeon slime unity ceremony! It’s all wrapped up in a big ol’ barn in pretty sunset land. Just watch out for the bride’s dad and uncle lighting the fireworks with a blow torch. Dudes got wild.

We previewed this couple’s AMAZING neon bicycle part centerpieces before, but little did we know that we’d also get to see an acrobatic silks performance, an amazingly visual contrast with the venue (that we love!), and even more photos of the centerpiece works of art! Come look and see the neon splendor!

The Day of the Doctor is coming in honor of Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. What better way to relish one of our fave fandoms than to have a Doctor Who theme week? Today we’ve got a pair with a penchant for books, comics, and of course, the 10th Doctor! The groom even wore his signature suit. They both wore Chucks, carried Sonic Screwdrivers, and had a lovely handfasting to boot.

Love triumphs over stormy weather and a reception blackout

Leah and Heather were married on June 7th at Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope, PA, where the pair had one of their first dates and countless date nights after. Leah designed the place cards, table numbers, her bouquet, Heather’s boutonniere, and the CD favors. But the best silver lining moment came when the intense storm going on caused a blackout at the reception!
