So many weddings start with a grand venue, expensive outfits and a colour scheme planned down to the last detail. And while we love weddings like that of course, Caleb and Gabbi did something entirely different. They started with the simple idea of just throwing a party that just happened to include a wedding. No rigid timelines, no unnecessary formalities, just a celebration that felt like them.

Anna and Victor’s love story began in Watamu, a coastal town in Kenya, where they met through a mutual friend. What started as a simple introduction led to an unplanned but deeply meaningful chapter in their lives. Anna had just rescued two puppies from the streets of Nairobi and had traveled to the coast to figure out her next steps. “I still lived in Germany at the time, and adopting the pups was a spontaneous decision", she told us. "Turns out, more spontaneous decisions were about to come,” She never went back to Nairobi, and she never went back to Germany. Instead, she and Victor built a life together in Kenya.

Chana and Nate’s wedding was a weekend-long celebration blending a disco chic bowling alley party the night before, with a colourful yet glam wedding day. They chose Wave Resort in New Jersey for its sleek coastal aesthetic and open, airy design. From the moment they stepped into the venue, with its exposed ceilings, concrete floors, and signature santal and lavender scent, they knew it was the place. “We never even toured another venue", Chana said. "It had everything we wanted, and the vibe was just right,”

When Daria slipped into a vintage Mark Ingham gown, everything suddenly made sense. The dress fit as if it had been made for her, and with that, all the uncertainty about how and where to celebrate their wedding disappeared. She and Kaleb had considered everything from a formal church ceremony to an elopement in the mountains, but none of it had felt quite right. The dress, however, made the decision for them. They would marry at San Francisco City Hall and end the night in their own way at the Phoenix Hotel.

When Isabella and Russell (who you might recognise from Fallout!) matched on an online dating app, they found out they were born only five days apart, attended the same college, and even shared the last four digits of their phone numbers! There’s coincidence and there’s fate, and they agreed their connection falls under the latter. Believing their two late Italian grandmothers were conspiring from beyond, they deemed it imperative to meet again the next day. They did and never looked back. Just over a year later, Russell took Isabella to see the winter illumination at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, where they had gone on one of their first dates. He popped the question, and when she said yes, he swept her away to a surprise party to celebrate with their families.

The inspiration for Nino and Basti's wedding was their shared love for the underwater world, sea creatures, and the dreams they hold for the future. “We called our theme Seensucht nach Meer, which means ‘Longing for the Sea,’” Nino shared. “I’ve always loved sea creatures, and we both dream of retiring in Tenerife one day.” Their day, filled with DIY touches and small but meaningful moments, showed how intentional choices can transform even a civil ceremony into something unforgettable.
