Shondelyn & Tyler’s SCUBA-loving aquarium wedding

It all starts with gawking at the luscious purple wedding gown (from [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart]!). And then we’re ogling the scenery at the awesome aquarium. After that we’re spying octopodes and tentacles all over the place. And once we see the anniversary dance winners, it’s all over. Hearts melted.

EJ & Nathan’s horror movies and octopodes beach wedding

Let me just lay this right here: a tentacle aisle, tentacle bouquets, a pineapple print dress, fold-out fan programs, horror movie centerpieces, and a flesh-eating martian owlopus. You read that right. Oh, and some sage advice meant for a pre-teen that totally applies to all of us. Let us know if you spot the MINGLO, too!

It should be obvious why I love these custom-painted Little Mermaid shoes

FINE YES, my name is Ariel and when The Little Mermaid came out, I was at the height of my high school musical theater career, and could not have been more pleased. To this day, “Part of Your World” is one of my top five karaoke jams. With this in mind, it is of course no surprised that I got a special feeling in my imaginary mermaid gills when I spotted the custom-painted Vans that Shondypie wore at her aquarium wedding. These were custom-painted by Etsy seller SomethingFromTheSun.

Fancy cake adorably attacked by cheerful octopodes

We’ve got a steamy, tentacle-filled wedding coming soon, and we wanted to give you a little preview in the form of their striped and rose-bedecked cake getting consumed by swirly green tentacles. Oh, and two of the sweetest little octopodes took up residence at the top to hug it out.
