Somewhat OT: Movie wedding touches - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My boyfriend and I are going to be married (heh, it's not "official" until he gets the chance to propose in a way he deems fitting, though everyone already knows, his ex-wife, who is a friend of ours, has given her blessing, location's picked out...), and I made a suggestion I thought he might laugh at. See, I suggested getting the Narsil letter opener to cut the cake with, and he rebutted that idea with getting the full sword to cut it with! How bad-*** would it be to be at a wedding and see someone pull out a 53" sword (or course it wouldn't be sharp for safety reasons, but will still cut cake) to start cutting cake? We are looking at this one (I know it's Anduril): http://www.noblecollection.com/catal...N2579&catid=17

We are also talking about using these goblets:

I'm going to design my wedding gown to have Elvish touches.

Back when he was still in Santa Barbara and I was in San Jose (a few hundred miles apart, I wanted him to have something from me he could keep with him, so I gave him my Nenya:

It was loose on my middle finger, but fit his ring finger perfectly. Now that we live together, it touches me that he still wears it, despite it being a feminine design. It clicked in a few nights ago that that's similar to Arwen giving Aragorn the Evenstar.

We aren't going to go with an actual theme of LotR, just to plant in some touches as a way to honor our geekiness. LotR has made an especially big impact on my life, and helped set us on the path to meet. So it seem fitting.
