Untitled 1 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

We aspire to be as fun and stylish as this chill San Diego wedding

“It was just an amazing night of our favorite people, tasty beers, and just a ridiculous amount of happiness.” Hell yes it was! This chill San Diego wedding had a backyard ceremony full of greenery, handmade bouquets and boutonnieres, a killer brewery venue, a stop at In-N-Out, and two adorables being adorable. Don’t miss the awesome idea to have a beer + dessert reception!

Keep it cosmic AND gender-neutral with this space-themed ceremony script (+ READINGS!)

As a queer person, it was important to me to have a ceremony that reflected our values while avoiding language that was cis- or hetero-centric. Our spiritual and philosophical practices and beliefs include both Christianity and Buddhism, and we both feel strongly about the value of secular institutions. On top of this, our wedding was space-themed! With all these things in mind, we decided to write the gender-neutral space-themed ceremony from scratch.

Rock Band, drag kings, and burlesque: this rainbow wedding triumphs

Rock Band, drag kings, and burlesque: this rainbow wedding triumphs

Crystal and Kalem wanted the focus of their wedding to be on major FUN, so that called for Rock Band, board games, personalized crossword puzzles, Mad Libs, a rapper, drag kings, and burlesque. Add in a ring warming, a moment of silence/blessing during the ceremony, a handfasting, and an art gallery surprise from Kalem with loads of art, this rainbow wedding gave us reason to LIVE.

In lieu of a first dance, they had a first Rock Band song, and their six parental figures joined for a family performance.
