A geektastic costume shindig featuring winged shoes, fist bumps, and a groom dressed like Indiana Jones
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Sean is a pretty massive Indiana Jones fan — what with the fact that he dressed up as Indy for his wedding and all. His equally costume-enthusiastic bride, Urania, swapped out her full-length wedding gown for a N7 (the special forces in Mass Effect) ensemble later in the night, and costumes donned by guests included Harry Potter, knights, and a Gingerbread Man.
Carmen & Grant’s weekend getaway “crocodiles on safari” wedding
When a crocodile invites himself to the wedding, you pretty much have to show him a good time… or else! And these two totally did that with their South African dishes and Amarula, the bride’s awesome gossamer wings, the Harry Potter ring book, and the sweet wine box ceremony. Check out the rest of the wedding and keep an eye out for various fauna that might be on the loose.
Aidan & John’s Celtic renaissance faerie handfasting
There’s a faerie attendant climbing under the bride’s skirt and a groomsmaiden finding out exactly what’s under all those kilts, and that’s just the beginning of this beautiful and sometimes bawdy renaissance faerie handfasting. These two and their castmates put one awesome production of a wedding, complete with royal officiating and Celtic music. Find out what color the bride changed into and how she managed the amazing sleeves as the evening went on.
A magical Monday Montage with fairies, horses, and RAINBOWS
It was kind of a magical week for reader submissions. I encountered fairy wings, a fantasy destination sign, a horse-drawn carriage, and multiple rainbows. More rainbows is always better. Check out what else we found in the Offbeat Flickr Pool, the Offbeat Bride Tribe, and Pinterest this week.
