When planning our wedding, the one place JR and I turned to over and over again—even more than my sketchbook—was Offbeat Bride. Offbeat bride is a collection of not only beautiful, unusual weddings, but beautiful unusual couples who were celebrating not just their love, but who they ARE. It was more than a place of inspiration. It was a place reassurance. When ever we thought our choices were too weird or untraditional, there was Offbeat Bride to tell us that frankly, we hadn’t even gotten started.

Would we have had the same wedding without Offbeat Bride? Probably. But I can tell you, we wouldn’t be near as confident about it.

Which is why it so awesome to be on the site today, and for something we wanted in our wedding from day one. A lot of things about our wedding changed as we planned, but we always wanted our wedding party in capes.

And Offbeat Bride once again reassures us that we made the right decision. Thanks, Ariel.

See, it looks like I’m hard at work, being stylish and knowledgeable, doesn’t it? That is a lie. I am actually at home sick. This picture, bed-head and all, was taken yesterday, when I was still more or less a functional, hard-working, truth-telling human being.

Today, all you get is lies. Lies and a possibly unnatural amount of Justice League Unlimited figures:
