Bandmates become lifemates at this music-centric wedding in Pennsylvania

Band mates become life mates at this musical wedding in Pennsylvania

Megan and Jeff were bandmates who became lifemates at their musical wedding. Megan wore her mother’s dress, and they spoke personal and sacred vows. The unique museum space reception had vinyl slingin’ DJs, which was perfectly appropriate since they fell in love in their own band, The Wild Hymns. They even wrote and played a song together instead of a first dance.

A barefoot travel-themed camp wedding

A barefoot travel-themed summer camp wedding (with breakfast buffet!)

Caitlinn and Luke were married atop a huge rock in a beautiful, sunny clearing. The day proceeded with happy tears and bare feet. They incorporated their love of travel (especially to Africa) in their decor and theme. Instead of giving away something small as favors, they had glass jars with Beta fish in them next to three different charitable organization’s write-ups. The guests could take a pebble and pick which organization they wished receive a donation in their names.

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.

Avengers assemble for a comic books meet Doctor Who wedding with a “reveal cake”

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! Drea is Chilean and took the first dance seriously. They performed a cueca, a traditional choreographed dance from Chile that mimics a couple’s courting with handkerchiefs.

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?!
