I never thought I’d see the day that I would be going to a
wedding dressed as Princess Fiona from Shrek. Well that was exactly the case at
the weekend. ‘Sir Clive and Lady Joni’s Wedding’ was the wedding of the year!
The bride is relation of my fiancé’s family and I was invited to this medieval
styled wedding in the local History Park. Anything to do with fancy dress and I
am there without a doubt. I started planning my outfit as soon as we got the
invite. When I proposed Fiona everyone laughed but I thought it was a great
idea…until I had to wash the green body paint off!
The main advantage of having a themed wedding is that is way
more exciting for you and your guests. People dread getting wedding invites but
getting an invite like this puts that all out the window. There’s a lot of hype
surrounding the costumes and getting photos taken and the adults turn into big
kids. (Well I did any way, running about the History Park like I was 10 and had
just discovered The Secret Garden!) It was great having a costume to find
instead of running about Belfast or Derry at the last minute looking for a
dress.
Another benefit of having this kind of themed wedding is the
photographs. With all the natural outdoor beauty at a location like the History
Park, you’re guaranteed great images. Once you upload your photos to Facebook,
you are certain to get plenty of response to your crazy costume.
To many people a themed wedding can sound a little bit crazy
but why not go against the grain? With jousting, fire throwers, archery and a
pig on a spit to name a few, this wedding had it all and no one knew what to
expect on the day. You don’t get that from your average wedding that everyone
dreads going to and you’re also not out a fortune on an outfit for the day!
This wedding was spoke about for months before hand and will be talked of for
years to come for the craic, costumes and utter craziness. Now I am just
thinking what I can do to make my wedding that bit more exciting!
