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

The sword! The sword!

Using a letter opener would look rubbish unless you were having a 7" Victoria sponge from Tesco

However, be warned, repro swords are blunt (and heavy). I've got a full sized sword and a druid's sickle and both wouldn't be capable of cutting jam. You may end up ruining the fancy icing on an expensive wedding cake. You could get one sharpened just enough though? Or buy a real blade - my dad had a Napoleonic one complete with nicks where it probably cut some unfortunate Frenchmen down in the field.

Definitely the sword. And we all want to see pictures of this wedding, don't we, Downers?

Here's a great LotR quote for the wedding ceremony:

Quote:

'The Ring! The Ring! Put on the Ring!'

And yes, pictures are absolutely necessary!

Heh, my boyfried and I are thinking of the same thing for our wedding. It's going to be a Wiccan wedding, so we thought we might as well go ahead and do the whole Elf theme.

It shouldn't be hard to get a sharpened version of any sword. It might however depend on the magazinge or company you buy from.

Congrats!

You should have the ring carrier person (Can't remember what the are called now) wear your rings around his neck, that is what I want to do for my wedding... If my future husband lets me anyway... (even though I still have five years to even think about getting married, considering that I'm only in middle school and don't have a boyfriend)

Ring bearer?

One thing though– better look up the laws on weapons in your area.
