Some brides want to be princesses for a day and some grooms want to be mobsters for a day.

For the love of the game

We were inspired by Super Bowl Sunday to find some football themed wedding gowns. Check out the creative brides below and even one former groom. :)

You have to admire this couple’s spirit.

Is this a Chicago Bear’s wedding dress?

We found this photo on a hilarious site called myexwifesweddingdress.com. The former groom used a sharpie to add his team’s name on his ex-wife’s dress. You really can use your wedding gown more than once.

When you invite Gumby to a wedding all hell breaks loose.

What really happened according to August: It was a Halloween wedding and although the wedding was more formal, the reception was costume optional.  One of the bridesmaids dressed up (or down) as Tom Cruise from the infamous Risky Business underwear and dress shirt scene.

We love fun and unique weddings, thanks again for sharing August.

A wedding that will make you sick

Why doesn’t anyone think of hospitals when they plan their weddings?  That cafeteria catering is gooood…

Thanks to Mitch from Mitch Ranger Photography for today’s photo!

Note from Mitch on what happened that day:

This was taken at the hospital. I had a couple that canceled their wedding the night before due to an emergency life threatening surgery the bride suddenly needed. BUT… they really loved their date (7/7/7), so even though they had canceled all services, they HAD to have 7/7/7 as the date. So they called the pastor and did the service in one of the waiting rooms.

Marriage, the final frontier…

Love… Trekkie style

The best man later gave his speech in Klingon; no one understood it.

Something tells me these outfits weren’t rented from Men’s Wearhouse

Beam me out of this wedding, Scotty

A big thanks to Faith West from Faith West Photography, Inc. for today’s photo submission. Here’s what Faith told us about the wedding: The couple got married on a replica of the bridge of the Starship Enterprise at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. They won the free wedding as a prize in a contest at a Star Trek convention — which is where the couple met.

Kudos’ to this couple for having such a unique and memorable wedding!

Pre-Race Wedding

Friday, October 30th, 2009

What is up with all these athletic bride and grooms lately : )  We wrote about a wedding proposal that took place during a 5k race, a couple that got married after the 60 mile Susan G. Komen walk and now a couple who got hitched before a triathlon. They sure are making me feel lazy; I slept in, went to lunch with my maid of honor and drank champagne before my wedding. Read on to learn about this unique wedding, especially their wedding ‘rings’…

For her wedding, Danelle Weidman wore a lovely white veil and wetsuit. The 38-year-old bride also vowed never, ever to leave her betrothed — unless her true love couldn’t keep up during the Great Floridian Triathlon, where the two endurance athletes were married before the sun rose on Saturday’s race.

The pre-event nuptial was a first for Fred Sommer, director of the 19th annual Lake County race in which competitors swim 2.4 miles in Lake Minneola, bike 112 miles up and around Sugarloaf Mountain and run a marathon of 26 miles-plus.

“In the past, we’ve had some people drop on a knee at the finish line and propose,” Sommer said. “But we’ve always figured that was because they had spent 10 or 11 hours in the heat and they were delirious.”

Weidman and groom Kent Fawcett, 43, have prepared for and competed in 50 long-distance races since they met at a church retreat in Georgia six years ago, so they figured they were ready for the ultimate endurance test: marriage.

Fawcett proposed by giving Weldman a competition bike instead of a ring. At the pre-race nuptuals, Fawcett and Weldman both used a black marker to draw on each others wedding ring.

The Rev. Glynn Ferguson of Kissimmee, an Ironman athlete, admitted that he considered it a challenge to find the right words for the pre-dawn service, which took place under a grandfatherly oak tree near the starting blocks.

“Success in marriage is not a sprint race. It is not something that can be accomplished with little training or preparation. Marriage is like an Iron event,” Ferguson told the couple as they held hands in front of a small knot of family and friends wearing orange “Iron Wedding” caps. “Today, Kent and Danelle, when you pledge to love and care for each other in marriage, you will create a bond which will bind you closer than even your wetsuit to your skin.”

At the end of the service, the groom was told he could now “race the bride.”

Marriage at the end of a 60 mile walk

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

breast-caner-walkCarol Bitner and her walk-mate, Bill Caputi, were married Sunday after finishing the Breast Cancer 3-Day fundraising trek from Buford to Atlanta. About 2,200 people walked for the 3-Day – large-scale fundraiser for breast cancer research that benefits Susan G. Komen For the Cure.

The two met in early 2008 as Bitner, who is a breast cancer survivor, was training for the 2008 Breast Cancer 3-Day. Training was one of the most important parts of Bitner’s life last year, and Caputi wanted to support her, he said. So they started walking together.

“I met him when I was training, and he just stepped in right away,” she said.

Those weekly – and sometimes twice-weekly – walks of five to 15 miles gave the new couple a lot of time to get to know each other. Then, about five weeks ago, Caputi popped the question, and Bitner said yes. The intervening weeks have felt like he was living in a Disney movie, Caputi said.

Bitner and Caputi feel like they are starting a new chapter in their lives, and the support they’ve received from their friends and family has been amazing, Caputi said. “At this point in life, to feel like this is like being rejuvenated,” he said. “Not just the body, but the heart, the soul – all of that is feeling like it’s 25 or 30 years old.”

Now that’s a great way to end such an important walk! We love her pink hat and veil too!

Wedding Savings Tip – Use an Outdoor Backdrop

If a fancy reception site isn’t in your budget, then just take advantage of an outdoor backdrop. A new trend in Providence, Rhode Island is to take advantage of The State House and its sweeping staircases and impressive rotunda to capture a formal wedding photo. Many couples are heading to the gorgeous location between the ceremony and reception to squeeze in some photos with an elegant backdrop.

Officially, the state doesn’t allow couples to marry or hold receptions at the capitol, but it has embraced the photo concept. The site has become such a desired locale that the state Facilities Department now books the space more than a year in advance, jamming in up to three couples a weekend in the peak wedding months of summer and fall.

So if you are wanting a memorable, beautiful backdrop for you wedding photos then research locations near your wedding and reception site and find what their policies are on using their location.
