Omaha Beer Week is more than halfway through, and you’re probably feeling like quite the beer snob. You’ve tried a few beers you’ve never heard of, chatted it up with some other locals about your favorite stouts and saisons, and even learned a little about the brewing process.

You love beer. But how much do you love it?

For some Omahans, the celebration of beer isn’t just a week; it’s a lifelong commitment. Beer nerds will drive for hours to get their hands on specialty brews and fill their basements and fridges with super rare beers. Others will go as far as to theme an entire wedding reception around their love of brew. You think you love beer? Let’s face it: You’re probably not as much of a hop-head as this crew.

Paris Cunningham

Paris Cunningham’s love for beer inspired her wedding to the love of her life. She married Richard Stueven in Max and Joe’s, inside of Beer Corner USA. The pair wanted their guests to be able to drink good beer before, during and after the ceremony.

2. When I saw this the story right above it was Pat Robertson asking

"What if somebody wanted to marry his dog?" and assumed somebody wanted to marry beer. I am disappointed.
