Jessica & Josiah’s space-themed breakfast-for-dinner wedding

Space: the final wedding frontier. Or you know, a pretty rad frontier with lightsabers in the photo booth, star-covered custom Converse, handmade vanilla extract favors, and breakfast for dinner. It’s like these two read my mind. Oh wait, there’s a donut tower, too? Let’s be best friends, awesome cafe wedding in Maine.

Angelina & Bobby’s rainy Parkour wedding

You know about Parkour, right? These two met doing it, fell in love, and totally integrated their mutual hobby into a homemade obstacle course to the altar! We’re talking vaulting blocks, cat leaps, and eight-foot blocks. Is there any better analogy for the trials of marriage and life? I’m thinking these two are pretty damned prepared for it. Oh, and do not miss the Parkour cake!

Lauren & Marco’s offbeat lite Filipino American wedding

This pair wanted to mix some traditions with offbeat ways. So get ready for traditional Filipino food, invitations, barongs, and 35 sponsors! They also opted for a Unitarian ceremony, which presented its own challenge for the bride’s Catholic family. You’ll definitely want to heed her advice when it comes to that. So head in and ogle the gorgeous Wai-Ching and Unique Vintage dresses, the purple glow-y tent, and the choreographed first dance story.

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.
