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.

Michelle & Ricardo’s multicultural movie geek theater wedding

A little Star Wars in the cake toppers, a little SuperWhoLock in the DIYed bouquet, and a whole lot of pie, paper flowers, and photo booth shenanigans. This wedding even had a taco bar. But our favorite parts were the movie posters redone with the bride and groom. So epic.

Raise your lightsaber for Jennifer & Alex’s Star Wars Extended Universe wedding

This wedding embraces all facets of the Star Wars universe: the movies, the comics, the lore, the music, and the ideal that everyone deserves to light up a lightsaber in your honor.
