Major shenanigans and a chic dress at this New York Chinatown wedding

Mihai and Gabby were aiming for a mini tour of New York (and especially Chinatown!) to bookend their sweet city hall wedding and they absolutely rocked it in style. From her short and chic dress to his sharp blue suit, they owned the city and even a samurai sword or two.

Love Exiles wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

From Love Exile to legal wedded bliss: get your hankies out for this wedding

After meeting fatefully at a nightclub in D.C., Tamara proposed to Leriche every single day. Tamara had to became a Love Exile in South Africa to allow Leriche to join her as a legal immigrant since the U.S. didn’t allow LGBT sponsorship for partners. They were legally married in South Africa, but their dream of having a ceremony at home finally came true when Virginia passed legislation to legalize same-sex marriage. Come see their joyful story.
