This wedding is all about rain boots, fabric bouquets, and co-written vows pledging eternal love for cats

Holly and Jen rock at crafting: they handmade both of their bouquets and all of the desserts served at their wedding, including the three-tired wedding cake! Yellow and gray clearly ruled the day, as evidenced by the rain boots worn by the brides, the ribbons used for their handfasting, and the crows and bird cages printed on the dessert cookies. The pair bridged sentiment and humor with their co-written vows, including promises to accept each cat brought into their lives and staying together long enough to see what one another’s tattoos look like in old age.

Some of you are already aware of Katy Perry, the glitter-sneezing, fire-shooting, lemonade-peeing unicorn, and if you’re not, get ready to lose your shit. This is the full story of the country fair-themed event with cotton candy bouquets, stilt-walking lawn gamers, fire dancers, LED necklaces, kazoos, and lots and lots of gingham!

This wedding has glittery shoes, an evening sunset ceremony, rainbow cake, colorful crinoline, and some awesome lessons learned the second time around. Keep an eye out for the groom’s “breast” friend, too.

Natalie & Tim’s green-filled access-a-wedding

This wedding has all the D’s: an awesome dog, a handmade dress, art gallery-style personalized decor, and a focus on disability. The pair also came up with a very cool way to combine their two families in a musical way. Oh, and just try to contain your FEELS when you hear what the bride’s dad pulled out during his speech.
