The bride and groom met outside of a singles yoga class; they were both too embarrassed to go inside.
The groom’s father is the head of cardiology at Cedars Sinai; his mother is a professional clogger and performs with the senior dance troupe The Clogged Arteries.
The groom is a semi-professional hockey player. The bride is a dental implant artist.
The brides are both Olympic athletes. Helen set records in the shot put; Greta in the javelin. The bouquet toss will be held outside the reception hall in a nearby soccer field.
The couple met at the state fair, waiting in line for the bungee swing. Their friends abandoned them at the last minute due to nerves; the ride operator brought them together to even out the weight for their ride. The operator has been invited to the wedding.
The couple had originally planned to recite poetry, but opted instead to have matching piercings done at the ceremony.
The father of the bride is a podiatrist and has made custom orthotics for the couple on their big day.
The groom is a conceptual artist, and proposed by scratching “Will You Marry Me?” on the side of her car and lit a flaming heart on the hood. The best man is an auto body painter.
The mother of the bride is a cake decorator, however; the couple opted for pies at the reception. The bride’s mother plans to make a wedding cake in protest – banana cake with burnt almond frosting.
The mother and father of the bride are entomologists. The groom’s parents own a fleet of pest-control franchises. The couple have chosen to elope and will hold a reception at a later date.
During the karaoke portion, the bridesmaids performed a touching rendition of “This Boy,” by The Beatles. The groomsmen responded with a heart-felt performance of “In Your Eyes,” by Peter Gabriel. The bridesmaids returned with an a-cappella version of Pachelbel’s Canon in D, after which the groomsmen accepted defeat by performing “Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain and Tennille.
The bride and groom partake in Civil War re-enactments; she portrays a battlefield nurse and he portrays an infantryman. They met when he “suffered” an “injury” on the battlefield. She “tended” to his “wounds” and they made a date for after the “war” was over.

The bride used to buy trashy gossip magazines from a shop the groom worked in.
(these were great!)
THIS IS GENIUS. BRB changing my career to dental implant artist.
“career”
if they’re missing their teeth, I’m missing my pants!
Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but the entire Blackhawks line can _get it_.
what! who thinks you’re crazy! they’re stanley cup CHAMPIONS for god’s sake! DOES THAT MEAN NOTHING?!
“The couple had originally planned to recite poetry, but opted instead to have matching piercings done at the ceremony.” Wait! I know these people!
I can’t believe I wasn’t invited.
“The groom is a conceptual artist, and proposed by scratching “Will You Marry Me?” on the side of her car and lit a flaming heart on the hood. The best man is an auto body painter.”
He damned well better be!!
I actually did meet my better half standing in line.
“The mother and father of the bride are entomologists. The groom’s parents own a fleet of pest-control franchises. The couple have chosen to elope and will hold a reception at a later date.”
Good move, you two. Good move.
More clog puns, please.
I about did a spit-take at that one.
I hope mine is the last one /nerd
The supply problems and manpower shortages of the Confederate army (and hence lack of nursing staff) means the last couple were probably on the Union side, right? I am unreasonably invested in this. I’m from New York. I don’t want the cute couple to be pretend Confederates.
Agreed on Pretend Confederates, although possibly a good band name? Might be too racist sounding though.
Only somewhat related, but there’s an NPR Picture Show story today about ladies in battle reenactments, here.
I really want to go to Helen and Greta’s wedding.
Make sure you go long for that bouquet toss.
(nailed it)
Make sure you go long for that bouquet toss.
It took me…too long to realize these were not actual couples contributed by readers or something. They all sound like delightful and plausible Toast readers, I swear.
Thanks for that, I appreciate the compliment!
I like to think of it more as a to-do list for all of us.
“The bride kept going to eat at the groom’s hamburger shop in Austin, wherein he would supply her and her best friend with free hamburgers. The groom said if she would let him come over and enjoy her air conditioning, he would keep her in hamburgers for life.”
They were my parents. Nearly 30 years of temperate, charbroiled success and counting!
This is a great story!
I really like this story, it reminds me of my grandmother when she used to tell us the stories of how they used to get married during world war 2.
“The couple had originally planned to recite poetry, but opted instead to have matching piercings done at the ceremony…” 😀
” The bouquet toss will be held outside the reception hall in a nearby soccer field.” – just love the idea of this 🙂
True story: my brother and his wife met in college. She asked him out during a particular intense moment in a game of Humans vs. Zombies. She was a zombie, and he was the leader of the humans. He got really, really into the HvZ headspace, so when she asked him out for coffee, he thought it was a ploy to get him to lower his guard. So he shot her with a Nerf gun and ran away.
Lol unreadaethel, that was hilarious. I wonder what would’ve happened if she had a nerf machine gun. 😀
