Extreme? Well, fine then...

The 50's retro one: (Lurve the coloured tulle!!):
"A Teddy Boy-style wedding, in the USSR, inspired by fashion of the 1950s and 60s. Photographer Anastasia Volkova said: "Misha and Masha's wedding was absolutely unforgettable, colourful and funny."

Teddy Boy? Does anyone know the translation of that? My Brit FI is asleep....

But seriously, there are some cute photos and unusual weddings in this BBC photo collection. Very large photos, warning for the bandwidth impaired...There is also a flapper one.

Teddy Boys are basically rockabilly dandies.

Here's what Wikipedia says:
The British Teddy Boy (also known as Ted) subculture is typified by young men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, styles which Savile Row tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II. The subculture started in London in the 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, soon becoming strongly associated with American rock and roll. Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edward to Teddy.
