Lisa Marie & Oscar’s retro polka-dotted and tattooed Manhattan wedding

We love us some rockabilly, and we also love it when there’s a chic tulle headpiece, flash tattoo decor, a squee-worthy first dance, and our own [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/the-reverend-d"]Rev. D[/vendor-heart] presiding! And you’ll love the traditional Polish-Slovak bridal dance that made the groom prove he will move mountains (of people!) to get to his bride.

Oh, and let’s not forget the famous Randy to the Rescue dress. Resistance is futile.

Plus, all the awesome group shots in the museum and the sweet kissy-face shots. And let’s not forget the whispered naughty secrets during the portrait session in the comic book store!
