Mandy & Eric’s silly and geeky dance party

Hitchhiker’s Guide, Game of Thrones, and zombie references all wrapped up in a joke-filled (and super meaningful!) ceremony and dance party — that’s our kind of fun. Plus, you just might love their wedding party alternative at the ceremony. Oh, and don’t miss the really good advice on how to mingle with the guests at the reception!

Karen & Terry’s steampunk, peacock, and pop culture wedding

You guys, this wedding will fulfill many desires: steampunk gear, Adventure Time decor, World of Warcraft bunting, and board games galore. It’s everything our geeky hearts love. Add in the gorgeous paper flower bouquets, the live-action re-telling of A Lovely Love Story, and the airships and rockets, and you’re in for a wild, pop-cultured filled ride with these cuties.

Angi & Bret’s polyamorous backyard wedding

You may remember this bride from her post about choosing to marry her boyfriend while legally married to her husband. Now we’ve got the whole story of how it went down, including the bride’s husband catering a vegetarian meal, the handcrafted ceremony and vows, and the true meaning of what makes a “real” wedding.

Sheena & James’ whimsical mountain love celebration

This is the story of a media-obsessed bride becoming wedding media herself. But in this case, the bride totally made peace with her obsession and ended up with a wedding to rival all the ones she idolized. Her red gown, colorful fall decor, and epic venue with a mountain backdrop all make us wish we were right there with them. Just watch out for Zorro and Pancho Villa… there’s bound to be a fight there.
