A real time ring tattoo at this goth Utah wedding on Friday the 13th

Let’s set the scene: a glam black dress, a dapper long-locked groom, a Friday the 13th wedding, all in Utah. The bride, Stephanie, is a tattoo artist and even inked the wedding band on her groom Larry’s finger right after the ceremony. It was a hugely DIYed affair in a stunning venue filled with paper roses (made from pages of anatomy books and sheet music!) and hints of darkness among tons of light. Let’s gaze at this chic meets goth Utah wedding.

Drool over one last spooky wedding of the season with a corpse bride from Pennsylvania!

Okay, yes, we’re moving away from the season of skeletons and spooks, BUT. I owe it to you all to show you this one last spooky glam wedding! Crissa made for an awesome corpse bride when she and TJ got married earlier this fall. She styled her own look, thanks in part to her grandmother’s wedding dress, a skirt of her own, and some choice accessories from Lovechild Boudoir. TJ absolutely kept up with his own Victorian corpse groom costume, and Crissa’s daughter joined in the fun as a sparkly princess.

Beth & Garrett’s nerdy boozy musical kickballer wedding

Home-brewed beer (including beer ceremony), an Elvis officiant, a hilarious camp wedding guide, and a cocktail hour with lawn games and merit badges — you’ve just described my perfect camp-out party. Don’t even get us started on the tearful first look, the Sharpie pre-tattoo rings, the dads’ pre-ceremony chest bump, and the time-traveling video invitation. Oh, and there’s one more video that we’re keeping a secret. Trust me, you have to see it.
