Queer vegan Jewish wedding on @offbeatbride

A femme and a suit-wearing dreamboat have a must-see vegan Jewish wedding

“Tambourines. Fireball whiskey. Surprise crash by Daniel Kahn. Re-writing hetero Zionist wedding songs to be homo and diasporic.” This pair celebrates their non-gendered and gendered choices alike, as they were all about their own authenticity. Don’t miss the handmade skirt that made us swoon, the amazing rustic decor, beautifully chosen and customized Jewish traditions, and so so so much love in every photo.

Join Willow & Chris on their tour of Philly and retro bowling lounge wedding

A purple swing dress, Irregular Choice shoes, a grand tour of awesome places in Philadelphia, a quaich ceremony, and a retro bowling alley reception? This wedding has so much 1950s nostalgia going on to transport us directly there. Add in the geeky and pop culture touches like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and their amazing music choices and we’re all totally won over.
