Pagan polyamorous gender-nonconforming wedding

Where do I even begin with all of these killer pop culture references in this geeky swords and wands wedding? The groom, Jon, wore 10th Doctor-inspired suit and accessories, there were Sword Art Online swords, Harry Potter wands, and gorgeous wings (made my a Victoria’s Secret wing creator!).

Cheer “HUZZAH” for this Bristol Renaissance Faire wedding

Gretchen and Michael’s wedding was a full-on Renaissance affair. The ceremony took place over Labor Day weekend at the Cotswold Commons area of The Bristol Renaissance Faire. The officiant dressed as a monk, bridesmaids wore DIY faery wings and flower crowns, and all the groomsmen wore color-coordinated capes. The couple incorporated a Medieval wine ceremony into their wedding as a symbol of their lives uniting as one. If you’re a Ren Faire lover like I am, you’re in for a treat…

Christina and Edward adore Halloween, and combined a meaningful ceremony with a grand Halloween wedding ball like pros. There were huge replicas of vintage monster movie posters, old black and white monster movies, and tons of costumes.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the life-size caskets built by the couple’s families that had life-sized bride and groom skeletons inside and a sign that read, “Till Death Do Us Part Is For Quitters.” HA!

Amber and Red had a faery-themed wedding which allowed everyone to dress as woodland creatures or costumes of their choosing. It turned a normal wedding day into something truly magical.

Amber and Red met years ago through friends in San Luis Obispo, CA. Although they have now moved to the Pacific Northwest, San Luis Obispo is still one of their favorite places. They held the wedding there to honor it and share their love of the town. You’ll want to see the colors, glitter, and magic of this amazing wedding in California…

And when you see the dress code, you’ll realize you haven’t been living life according to this code and now must worship it. Let’s see the celestial kitsch wedding that will change your life…
