We are recently engaged and the night he first asked me out was at our mutually favorite goth night club, The Castle in Ybor City. The night after he proposed we went there just the two of us to celebrate. And for our wedding we will share that ambiance with a black and red theme <3
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would get married. My parents never did (and never had to go through messy divorce either!) and I just didn't think it a necessity in this day and age. However, late last year when my lovely Scottish boyfriend asked me to be his wife, I surprised myself by saying yes!
ReplyDeleteAs I'm not a very traditional girl, we are doing our wedding a bit differently. Our budget is pretty much null, and so we've cut back on many of the things we believe unnecessary.
We are having two weddings. One in Scotland for his family, and then shipping everything over to New Zealand for a second bash later in the year.
So the last 4 months have been me madly making everything by hand. It's as eco-friendly as can be, with my dress being second hand, all the crockery from charity shops or donated, hand-made buttonholes and material flower (with vintage lace, buttons and feathers donated by Gran) favors, plus all the food (including the wedding cake) cooked by the mother-in-law and myself! Wah, stressful to the max.
Anything I haven't had the skills to make has been bought off Etsy (how many hours have I spent trawling this site!?).
I would love to win this prize, as it would give myself a break from all the sewing and gluing. Plus, the OH would love to have a tidy craft-free house for a while!
Instead of forcing everyone to do the chicken dance or the electric slide yet again, we are taking advantage of the field near our lake side reception for lawn games such as horse shoes, washers, bocce and badmitten! I cant wait for the big day!
ReplyDeleteSince my fiane and I are on a tiny budget but want to celebrate with all of our friends and family, we're having a backyard bbq reception. We're gettting married in a national forest under a huge tree with everyone standing around. Then off to his Dad's house for a bbq! With the catering money we're saving we're renting an inflatible jousting ring to play in!
ReplyDeleteHello there. I'm a bride in the middle of planning her wedding largely by herself. Truthfully I opted for no ceremony at all, but I have one now! Downside is we under budgeted and I have no dresses in my size and prize range! We've rented a park site, a pretty one, and are going to have this absolutely awesome medieval looking dragon on castle cake his aunt will make. So we also suddenly have a theme of sorts. There will be no dance floor, though I plan to make him dance somehow, and our honeymoon is essentially a road trip. Also, this dress looks exactly like what I drew out as a dream dress not four days ago! Fitting the theme? Probably not, but I really don't care. This may be the most eclectic wedding imaginable, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteThere are many parts of our wedding that are certainly traditional (church wedding, followed by a dinner reception in a garden)but we're using the details to make it more untraditional....bridesmaids are wearing printed cocktail dresses, family members are designing the invitiations, arranging the flowers, and even providing music! Its a big family affair and we're getting everyone involved in any which way possible.
ReplyDeleteMy fiance proposed to me by reenacting the kidnapping scene from Princess Bride and to celebrate we went for tacos and beer at our favorite taco stand! We're trying to DIY almost all of our wedding and keep to a pretty offbeat reception with traditional ceremony.
ReplyDeleteWe are offbeat in that we are really focusing the wedding on our love for each other and the joining of our two families (kinda sad/silly that can be considered offbeat). The wedding is more about making sure our guests are comfortable than wedding details. It seems like a lot of brides get carried away with details and focus less on what the wedding actually represents. We are making our wedding really a celebration of our families and friends.
ReplyDeleteWe are combining tradition with a modern twist. Our wedding will truly be an expression of our personalities.
ReplyDeleteMy fiancee and I are anything but traditional! I have crowned myself the unbride since we got engaged. Our wedding is going to be all about us! We love our family/friend, traveling and the water! So we picked our top 20 people, picked a cruise, and planned beach ceremony in Bahamas! We want to enjoy time with family and friends for more than just a few hours! We want to keep the fun going! People think it is weird that we invited people on our honeymoon, but thats not our honeymoon! We are going to spend a week at our favorite amusement parks! We love rollercoasters, park food, and entertainment. Here we come Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a home made wedding in our back yard. We are on the older side for a bride and groom (48 and 53!) but are very young in our thinking. As artists we like to mix it up a bit and our ceremony may play a bit like a performance piece!
ReplyDeleteI'm recently engaged and pretty much obsessed with everything WEDDING now. We're having a steam punk themed wedding and doing a lot of DIY things. I'm super excited for my maids of honor to wear their "craft day" tiny top hats, the groomsmen to drink from their "bride enhanced" flasks, and my sweet sugar daddy to become my childrens stepdaddy. My Man of Honor is also our officiant and has offered to wear his ass-less chaps for the ceremony several times. He thinks we won't cave and make him actually wear them. My dress is not so offbeat since I bought a sample dress that I begged them down on the price (very proud of that saved $100), but my shoes are too DIE for and I found this blog through an OCD-like search for a steam punk fascinator that would match my shoes, dress, theme, and me. I'm an offbeat bride because I am determined to have a nontraditional-traditional wedding. Victorian elegance and industrial modernization is coming together for our shoe-string budget, home made wedding and reception. We're also throwing out the sit down dinner reception and are having pie and absinthe instead. After party to follow. I love my kids, love my future, love my man and I love being different. *Toast raised to all us offbeat brides!*
ReplyDeleteWe're having an "unofficial" wedding in a barn where my fiance's best friend will be officiating (after a trip to the JP) with me in my rockabilly dress and rhinestone shoes and him in a pink/chartreuse striped tie and chucks (that my 2yr old matches) and then off to our vintage retro bbq reception with a blues band, all handmade decorations, and a foam finger sendoff :)
ReplyDeleteWe've always been an offbeat couple and have embraced that from day one. We got engaged a little over a month ago (via a script that my actor fiance' wrote and asked me to act out with him) and are planning our Romanian/Shakespearean/Sports themed affair! It will be alot of DIY, alot of love, alot of crazy and alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWe are customizing our offbeat wedding by making our own beer. My fiance has been brewing for about a year now and is making a few different brews for our wedding, everyone is super excited!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance and I have always done things a little backwards! We have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and son from my previous marriage. We want to do something personal and memorable and really focus on the union of our family, as that is the important part in all of this! We're doing pretty much everything ourselves and want the day to be fun and enjoyable for the kids - nothing stuffy or formal!
ReplyDeleteI just love Shelley's signs! I have seen them in person and they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe signs are fabulous :) My fiance and I are trying our best to make our wedding personal and cute, but are really on a budget! This would be a lovely way to add a bit of personalization to our wedding! Thanks for the chance to win!
