Angel & Candi’s self-catered vegetarian wedding

Gothic and sarcastic weds bubbles and sunshine, and it’s not without its challenges. But these two ladies manage to pull together a self-catered vegetarian feast in a colorful space all on a budget, because one is crafty and the other can cook! It sounds like a match to me.

Natasha & Jordan’s Roaring Twenties theater wedding

This retro ’20s bash was held in a theater, had three headpiece changes (my kind of girl), and eclectic music (including a ceremony serenade from the bride’s father’s band!). And get ready to get a toothache from the tutu flower girls and kids reading Shel Silverstein at the ceremony. PLUS: a 1920s-themed photo booth makes everyone era-ready!

Sylvia & Tyson’s relaxed bird-themed registry office wedding
