Rachelle & Eric’s rainy improv-tastic casual cookout wedding
This couple may have gotten rained out of their original location, but an obliging firehouse ended up being an awesome substitute. As far as reception entertainment goes, this wedding wins all around: stand-up comedy, live improv, piñata bashing, and musical chairs! Plus, the story about the bride’s grandmother making her cake had me fighting the tears. Enjoy your Fourth of July with this Fourth of July cookout wedding!
Emily & Bill’s rainy and cozy camp chapel wedding
A very cool Texas guest book, a Bender card box, towers full of homemade cupcakes (and zombie cupcakes!) , and all the ladies wearing cowboy boots: it’s a feast for the eyes! Plus, they shared not only a first dance, but THE very first dance ever together. And if all that isn’t enough, there’s a cute pooch wearing a bow tie. You’re hooked now.
Katherine & Matthew’s tornado-threatened mix-and-match wedding
It rained and it poured on this poor outdoor wedding. But love persevered when they decided to get hitched come hell or high water. With the magic of friends and familial labor, an adorable book-filled breakfast room was made into a ceremony space. Along with their classy restaurant reception, it is easy to see even budget and weather can’t ruin a good time. (And don’t miss their son’s cameo at the ceremony!)
Michelle & Matt’s royal Texas Ren Fest wedding
This pair thought about going with a more mainstream wedding, but the fantasy and renaissance geeks inside wouldn’t let them abandon their dream renaissance festival wedding. The Texas Ren Fest gave them the opportunity to get garbed, get turkey-legged, and get their renaissance boogie on.
