BIPOC

Based on reader feedback that it was “hard to find any weddings of people of color,” we started tagging posts that featured a BIPOC bride and/or groom — and/or means you’ll find tons of interracial couples in here! Increasing visibility for BIPOC folks has been a priority for us since 2008, and note that we always allow folks to self-identify. More about how and why we do this here.

A queer bourbon and beer bacchanal: it’s fab drunken gay glamour

The title alone is enough to make me salivate over this bourbon-filled queer drunken gay glamour wedding. These two are ADORABLE and know exactly how to have a killer time dancing, dranking, and making sweet moments in their Pagan ceremony. Don’t miss how the wedding party went from strangers to BFFs dancing in a tub together in zero time flat.

Longclaw vs. Anduril: Who will prevail at this epic wedding sword battle

Morgan and David celebrated their nerdy forest wedding with dragon cake toppers, a Colorado-themed menu, the Star Wars soundtrack, and, most epic of all… a wedding sword battle! After their first dance to “Moon River,” they engaged in their first (faux) battle of steel choreographed to “Do it for Her” from the cartoon Steven Universe.

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!

This couple surprised their entire family with their multicultural wedding

Mike and Mallory have a diverse background that they wanted to embrace at their wedding. There were LOTS of cultures to represent and they rocked them. But the shocking part is yet to come: the couple totally surprised their guests with the wedding itself! They used the guise of an engagement party to get everyone together and then dropped the bomb that it was actually their two-part wedding.
