Earlier this week, someone posted a tweet that involved a Shrek wedding complete with green paint and ogre ears. The couple were huge movie buffs and their friends often joked that they looked like the ogre couple, so the went for it, big time. Their guests also dressed up like various fairy tale characters. This isn’t an isolated incident though, themed weddings are pretty popular including themes like Star Wars, Shakespeare, and Halloween. So I ask, are themed weddings fun ways for couples to make their wedding truly unique to their personalities or is it something they may regret 10 years down the road? I am absolutely 100% in favor of couples creating a wedding that reflects their personalities and beliefs, if that includes Shrek, who am I to judge? If you think you will still have the same passion for Star Wars in 10, 15, 20 years and be proud to show pictures of your groomsmen dressed as Chewy, then go for it. I would give some major consideration though as a wedding is a symbol of a major commitment and while I do not think other people’s opinions (your parents or other family members) should affect your wedding planning decisions, be prepared for some back lash as not everyone will have the same love of cartoons as you do. Even in a traditional wedding, everyone isn’t going to agree with your choices and really that is irrelevant. It’s your wedding, your day, enjoy it.
They really do look like Shrek and Fiona, don’t they!?
The mask I can handle, the officiant’s outfit, I’m not so sure.
Good news for me, Kyle would never wear a Speedo-esque outfit in front of others.
May the force be with you.
Yep, It’s real.
Who doesn’t love a wedding with a little adventure built in?
To each his own. If anything, the pictures are very fun to look at!
