Amanda & Ian’s fairy tale Renaissance wedding

An unfortunate accident forced this couple to reexamine their wedding priorities and led them to their perfect Renaissance Faire wedding. Nothing cures broken bone blues like a horse-drawn carriage, a sword-drawn recessional, and a few gallons of mead.

Sarah & Corey’s budget Viking wedding with a pop culture twist

Vikings, Star Wars, and superheroes — oh my! This warm weather wedding has major charm, lots of DIY cosplay action, and a good group of participating guests to make it fun. With a little Viking heritage, lots of movie soundtrack music, and some name mispronunciation, there’s a lot to see here.

Kathleen & Lucky’s traditional 1950s wedding

This pair is a self-described June and Ward Cleaver queer couple, which is just rad. The wedding itself mirrored this with its 1950s-style traditional vows and style. They also found time to sneak off during the reception for a little alone time, which was not missed by the hooting and hollering crowd.
