In the photo, inexpensive brown paper bags stamped with romantic quotes hold seeds for guests to toss at the bride and groom. Couples are using their wedding day to reflect who they are through choice of attire and beyond. Often the way to achieve that signature celebration is to do-it-yourself. Brides and grooms are choosing to celebrate what makes each of them unique, from quirky steampunk style to ceremonies that resemble a medieval village fair.

Evan Geno and Megan Woltmann were one of a number of couples who submitted their engagement story to The Crescent-News for the 2013 Bridal Tab. While this couple was not chosen as this year’s featured bridal couple, their story of Evan proposing to Megan in Rome is a romantic one. Here, the couple sits in front of one of the fountains in Rome.

This Jan. 19 photo shows Nicole Buergers and Brenden Macaluso snuggling at the eatery in Houston where they met nearly a year ago. The couple struck up a conversation about hipster eyewear over free beer at a Houston hangout and have been together ever since. In this age of online dating, virtual flirting, these two are firm believers in three-dimensional serendipity nearly a year after their first encounter.
