Dorie & Justin’s surprise elopement music video wedding
We’ve seen some kick-ass and adorable elopement vids, right? But rare is the time we get to see the actual reactions of the friends and family to seeing the video! And boy, let me tell you, get the tissues ready. For a wedding that totally combines the freedom of an elopement and the care of loved ones’ feelings, check this one out.
Betsy & Josh’s retro and rock theater wedding
A little Slayer, some Stray Cats, vintage-style fashion, and a 1942 Oldsmobile made this wedding a rock-lover’s wet dream. But it wasn’t all hard-edge and kicking ass. The couple’s daughter made for some sweet photos and the dancing shots are grin-inducing. It’s a mix of hard rock and lace in this vintage-inspired wedding in an art deco theater.
Christa & Dan’s Whovian British invasion wedding
This couple’s love of Doctor Who is written all over their wedding: cardboard Daleks and Cybermen, British music, centerpieces with various Doctors, and even a full-size Tardis, perfect for hilarious photo opportunities. They also had an impromptu thumb war during the ceremony. Plus, we can all learn from the bride’s totally chill solution to forgetting her guest book.
A bookish Chinese-influenced wedding with a little Star Wars
Mike and Bernie had their ceremony at a gorgeous church in downtown DC followed by a huge party at Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria. The Torpedo Factory was originally a factory used for making torpedos, but is now an art center, where Bernie had worked. Bernie infused her Chinese heritage into the decor, fashion, and entertainment (Chinese lion dancers!). But these two are also geeks of our own heart and had Star Wars and book-loving details on top of it all.
