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.
Anne & Stew’s happy hippie hoedown cross-country wedding
This pair had a sweet, tiny redwood forest elopement, but it didn’t end there. They then went on an cross-country party marathon with all of their family and friends in New Jersey, NYC, Texas, and California! Think Austin hokey-tonk bar, Jewish deli catering, a Deadhead-inspired barn dance, and a special guest: Mel the CAMEL. You have to see it to believe it.
Charmaine & Chris’ vintage diner and opera house wedding
After first meeting outside of a retro diner, these two had one of their two ceremonies at that same diner. I fell in love with the bride’s custom-made lacy, layered dress, three-generation photo, and multi-colored sweater. The men of the wedding party looked mighty spiffy in their bow ties and argyle, too. On top of it all, they were able to stay under a pretty tight budget with two ceremonies and a restaurant reception.
