Sharon & Mike’s outdoor tandem bike wedding (with secret second ceremony)

This pair rode in on their tandem bike looking fab, taking names, and having the secular, non-legal wedding of their dreams. After a sweet ring warming (including a ring made from the bride’s late paternal grandmother’s ring), they accidentally walked away from the ceremony early. Wut? And yes, there was a second ceremony that was ADORABLE. Read on to see what happened.

Shana & Leon’s bluegrass wedding in the woods

This pair loves hiking, trees, awesome local beer, and good barbecue. What better ingredients are there for a campground wedding under the trees? Oh, maybe the addition of a kick-ass bluegrass band that kept everyone dancing well into the night. With some ceremony accompaniment, an adorable uncle reading poetry, and dogs and kids galore, this was a wedding with a lot of heart.

Evelyn & Nathan’s quirky Humanist wedding in an Irish castle

Check it: an Irish castle with a ceremony space that looks like it’s made of ice, a bar reception with vegan options and an offbeat coordinator, and a Humanist ceremony with “Everything I Need to Know I Learned From My Dog.” Oh wait, there’s also a top hat-wearing stilt walker greeting guests and a giant pink bus for guest transportation. See it now!

Angel & Candi’s self-catered vegetarian wedding

Gothic and sarcastic weds bubbles and sunshine, and it’s not without its challenges. But these two ladies manage to pull together a self-catered vegetarian feast in a colorful space all on a budget, because one is crafty and the other can cook! It sounds like a match to me.

Kiona & Jennifer’s magickal barefoot solstice wedding in the desert

This pair has a strong connection to the desert, so a barefoot desert ceremony was a must. Add in lots of handmade, vegetarian, and eco-friendly touches, and you’ve got a truly gorgeous and personal wedding (that somehow totally avoided the scorching Arizona summer heat). And don’t miss the awesome, impromptu “rad bromance” dance duet!

Our beach and buttons veggie wedding

On top of the couple’s awesome ink and gorgeous venue (with carousel!), there was also a beach just made for dipping. Not only did the groom’s guys take the plunge, the bride ended up swimming too, dress and all! With a button-y bouquet and vegetarian menu, this was never destined to be your typical beach-side soiree.
