Andrell & Aaron’s Padme and Anakin Star Wars wedding
This week we’re celebrating our sci-fi-loving, fantasy-squeeing, and comic book-collecting couples. Today’s wedding features a full-on Star Wars Halloween theme including lake dress Padme and Dark Anakin. There’s lots of lightsaber fun (including the cake cutters!) and even some Jawas escorting the bride.
Allison & Sage’s Buddhist gothic gluten-free wedding
With 90 days to plan their wedding, these two pulled off a fusion of Victorian Gothic and Traditional Taiwanese that will blow your mind. Her beyond-gorgeous kimono and his dapper top hat and cane make for fabulous photos, but their thoughtful buffet of eats-for-all-eaters is a real sight to see, even if they did need help figuring out how to cut the cake. PS: the rally music for paper-crane-folding party? Awesome.
Ellen & Paul’s summer camp peacock handfasting
Rising from the depths of the lake at summer camp, it’s…. the most adorable crocheted Cthulhu bride and groom cake toppers — the little bride Cthulhu with her peek of peacock dress and the little groom Cthulhu in his kilt and beard. This wedding embraced the gentle nods to weird and sweet personal touches, but shining smiles and hearty laughs win the day.
Cindy & Sam’s geeky bibliophile wedding
We couldn’t resist mentioning the book arch in this gorgeous wedding in recent Monday Montage, and now Cindy’s giving us the whole bibliography. Folded paper and piles of books abound from aisle decor to bouquets, and from a custom cardbox to their signature arch — but you’re also going to love all the subtle nods to geekery. Book-lovers, get our your library cards and check out all the love!
Alyssa & John’s homemade Oktoberfest barbecue in Amish Pennsylvania
Apples and pigs and pickles, oh my! This Oktoberfest barbecue wedding is full of food, but the nods to personal passions steal the show. What happens when two chefs love Eagles football, Rocky, apples, pie, and each other? A very Pennsylvania wedding, rain and/or shine.
Kara & Gary’s fantasy fairy tale heavy metal wedding
Some girls dream of their fairy tale wedding and some girls take that pretty literally, as is the case with this bride’s fantasy fairy tale-themed wedding. Elf ears, Shrek costumes, fabulous hoods and capes, and a sign pointing to all your favorite fantasy haunts. And you’ll never guess why the groom spent so much time under the bride’s dress during the garter toss.
