Try not to cheesy grin at this Wiccan wedding decades in the making

Lisa and Dave’s sweet Wiccan wedding was a sight for sore eyes. Traditional Wiccan ceremonials and blessings were included in the ceremony, and Lisa was able to inject a little nostalgia via candle favors. One of the first gifts Dave ever gave Lisa was a box of Periwinkle crayons, so Lisa made crayon candles as gifts. But our favorite part was that they met back when they were just kids and reunited again on Facebook decades later. It’s a love story for the modern age. Don’t miss the cupcakes at the ceremony!

Hop the subway to this NYC park wedding with a yellow dress

This bride’s bright yellow high-low dress stole the show, especially when paired with her perfectly complementary purple hair.

Don’t miss the macaron display!

You must see this Legend of Zelda wedding with Odinic ceremony

Jen and John had an Odinic ceremony at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire with loads of fantasy-inspired and awesomely geeky details inspired by The Legend of Zelda. The Renaissance faire offered up lunch and shows performed by the actors after the ceremony, including a dancing pig and a falconer. Keep your eyes peeled for the Legend of Zelda cake and ring, black fishnets on the bride, and epic Renaissance garb on the guests.
