Alternative Bride

This is about the fun, funky, tattooed, colorful, different bride and groom and their unique wedding vision. This is about love of everyone: fat, skinny, black, white, gay, queer, and uncategorizable.

I'm not sure why you became inactive, but I just found your blog and it's awesome.

I handed my blog over to another admin. My husband and I got divorced and I started grad school. So I've been a bit busy. You can always follow my alt account at kinkmuffin.tumblr.com NSFW

My boyfriend of over 2 years sent me a game over skype. He said he wants to try and make Pokemon games since I play them so much. I opened it up and was super excited.

It seemed really well done and was super ready to start on my adventure!

He left a lot of cute...

This stopped me in my tracks, and derailed my train of thought. 

Every girl should have at least one princess fairy tale dress! Love this one!

The Fat Femme Wedding

Spring is here again and it’s time to share some plus size, queer femme, wedded bliss.  The four of us (myself, Lauren, Kelly, and Rachel) had a lovely time modeling some gorgeous plus size ModCloth wedding and bridesmaid gowns.

The union took place on a cool spring day in a Logan Square park.  We were surprised by a sweet kitty who joined us for some photos.  After the ceremony, we headed to adorable local bakery Paper Moon Bakery for vegan treats and enjoyed the beautiful floral and succulent centerpieces.

It was a perfect day. Fantastical Chicago-local floral designers Green and Gold provided the beautiful hair pieces, shoulder piece and centerpieces.  Hairstylist Anna Jackson did a gorgeous job styling our lovely locks.  MUA and nail designer Gina ‘Gigi’ Lira made our faces look even more delightful with her custom lip colors (I NEED MINE IN A TUBE - it’s the most perfect shade of purple pink!). Nail polish was provided by fat femme indie nail polish brand PLUMP (colors Fupa and Crop Top Goth)
