15 Fun Things about My Daughter's wedding

Post date: Nov 7, 2017 5:07:20 AM

1. Before the wedding ceremony began, the DJ played the music from Lord of the Rings.

2. Her brother, Jon, walked her down the aisle: Jon wore a renaissance style white shirt, with a cool double belt and authentic sword.

3. Mikki’s wedding dress was created by a friend of hers, and modeled after one worn by Galadriel in Lord of the Rings. It was gorgeous! Sean chose to wear a new suit and looked handsome.

4. The bride entered to the music of Han and Leia's theme from Star Wars instead of the classic wedding march.

5. My two grandsons were the ring bearers – dressed as a huntsman and a knight, carrying their pillows very carefully, and taking their jobs fairly seriously.

6. Mikki and Sean actually had problems removing the ring from one of the pillows—then Sean came to the rescue with a pocket tool.

7. The flower girl was dressed up like Princess Daisy from the Mario Brothers video games, in a pretty yellow dress that was just made for twirling.

8. The Wedding cake was both delicious and delightful to look at, with layers of pumpkin, vanilla and chocolate and had a star wars theme.

9. The Wedding venue was a German American club banquet room that had lots of European touches, with dark woodwork and beams on the ceilings. The couple had eaten at the restaurant downstairs there early in their courtship and loved the food, live music, and atmosphere.

10. At least 20 of the guests were dressed up in various costumes, and Mike and I went in Renaissance style clothing.

11. One of the decorations was a set of three peas in a pod: it represented Mikki, Sean, and their faith in God. Their centerpieces were simple and elegant: a stack of books with some flowers, a candle, and a framed photo of them.

12. Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed a large poster.

13. Jon took a selfie at the reception. "My sister is married!"

14. The wedding arch was just gorgeous, with sheer curtains and flowers interwoven into the arch. Several family members and the friend who made the cake worked for several hours to create the arch, which really made a lovely focal point.

15. Every part of the wedding was created with love by Mikki and Sean's many friends.

I heard several people say that it was the most unique wedding they had attended, and I would agree.
