Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride) has been supporting folks planning nontraditional weddings since the dawn of the internet.

Well ok, maybe not quite that long but our website launched on January 1st, 2007, in conjunction with the release of Seattle author Ariel Meadow Stallings' book, Offbeat Bride: Creative Alternatives for Independent Brides. Over the years, we've helped 70 million people get their dose of alternative wedding planning ideas.

What initially began as a book promotional project slowly grew into a completely different beast: a publication serving millions with over 7000 posts filled with inclusive, expansive wedding inspiration.

While we're still over at offbeatwed.com, we're also experimenting with publishing some of our most popular posts here on Medium. We'll see how it goes!
