Krys & Chris’ Scottish picnic wedding in the Redwoods

Lots of DIY, thousands of origami stars, a feathery bouquet, a surprise lightsaber arch… and a bouquet tossed from a trebuchet! For reals, ya’ll. Except it went slightly differently than practiced. Plus, you’ll want to see how the groom and his best man made up for some lost time in this second marriage. OH, and for something completely rad, take a guess who wore the special Batman garter. It definitely wasn’t the bride!

Jamie & Jon’s three-day summer camp wedding

Let’s reminisce about being a kid with this summer camp wedding complete with crayons, popcorn favors, a “Hershey’s Kiss girl” instead of a flower girl, a camp out with a fire juggler, and an AMAZING pink ruffled corset gown (you may remember from here). Plus, get a load of the adorable matchy-match father and son kilts! My heart… I swoon! All that plus the sweetest groom-gets-teary first look ever.

Shiny happy wedding feels (and matching ties!) at this art gallery wedding

Stephen and Tavo’s May 4th (Star Wars Day!) wedding was a fabulous garden party among glowing fairy lights and leaf green decor at Artspace 111, a warehouse-turned-art-gallery in Fort Worth, Texas. With matching ties, personalized chalk for guest book messages, and foodie-style centerpieces (ARTICHOKE!), these two are made of hugs and win. Don’t miss the first dance dip!

Tatica & Richzendy’s Venezuelan gamer wedding

Ooh, our first wedding featured in Venezuela! And it couldn’t be more awesome. The scenery is too die for (despite being the coldest part of the country), the hair and fashion is kick-ass, and the lightsaber cake-cutting is hilarious. It all took place where the Yavin 4 location was filmed for Star Wars IV. As it says, “Great events happened here on Yavin 4.” Oh, and just wait until you hear what the priest kept doing at the ceremony!
