F* Your Twilight Wedding

Normally I wouldn't care to point sh-t like this out [or dedicate an entire post to it], but I have seen an insane amount of Twilight Weddings in the bride blogosphere that it's bordering on ridiculous. To get an idea of the craziness, click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Oh, and here. These aren't joke posts, guys. These are dead serious. I'll be the first to admit I like Twilight. I've read the books and want to do naughty things to Robert Pattinson like all the rest of you bloodsuckers. But basing my entire wedding on it is another story.

I'm no stranger to having my wedding be INSPIRED in part by pop culture. Hello, Bowie. But the key word here is INSPIRED. Not themed. If you can have something as ridiculous as a Twilight wedding (really?? Are we really gonna go this far?), then I'm gonna make an inspiration board for a themed wedding that is equally as ridiculous. So to be fair, I will base it on a pop culture obsession of my own: Lost.

Lost-Themed Wedding Inspiration Board, #1





Ohmygod I love it! The Groomsmen could wear Dharma Initiative Jumpsuits, I can gift my maids those Dharma pendants, table numbers will be 4 8 15 16 23 42 (duh), ceremony on the beach, reception in a hatch, fish biscuits served for dinner, and Apollo bars for dessert! I freaking luuuuuurve it!

Shoot. Me. Now.

Are you annoyed by this Lost Wedding? 'Cause I am! So don't tell me you wouldn't make fun of me for having a Lost-Themed wedding. Therefore my making fun of your Twilight wedding is totally appropriate and absolutely called for.

Oh, yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving ♥

  2. LMAO. I would totally enjoy a Lost themed wedding, even if my friends and I would totally snicker behind the brides back, cuz were aholes like that.

    In all seriousness, most wedding themes are pretty cheesy, no?

  3. Shit...someone stole my wedding theme. And my back up wedding theme. Does this mean I have to have a My Father The Hero theme wedding now?

  4. Using those table numbers in any wedding would be great. Seriously.

  5. i'm definitely more on the 'inspired' side and not the 'theme' side. a lost wedding would be out there. kinda like a star trek, star wars, or zombie wedding. although zombie (or anything done in good taste) would be entertaining.

  6. I'm going to have to disagree with you for the first time ever! Not that I'm pro-themed wedding. I just feel like if I'm supposed to be promoting atypical weddings and getting people to accept that the "normal" or "traditional" wedding isn't the ONLY way then I can't really justify knocking people who take it to the extreme, ya know. Everyone has their own tastes and interests and more power to them for having the balls to say "f* tradition just give me body glitter and vampire teeth".

  7. LOL I am a HUGE LOST FAN! As a matter of fact, I have even decided to incorporate the show into the bible study series I am leading for a group of six 20-something girls. They love it! And your inspiration board is HY-sterical! Your comments just brought the whole vision together...of course you'd number the tables that way! :)

    I agree, inspiration is one thing but a theme is a bit over the top for me. :) Afterall, I think of parties when I think of themes...like birthday, halloween, etc. Weddings are supposed to be about a couple and their relationship.

  8. Two years ago I would have said my wedding colors would be red, black, and white...Then Twilight happened and my fiance made the comment "This looks like a vampire is getting married" about a wedding with these same colors.

    Love your post!

  9. Sheesh, I sure am glad that someone else took note of the ridiculous amount of Twilight themed weddings! Eeek...I just wonder if those brides are going to look back at their day in 10 years and totally regret that...

    I don't think the first twilight wedding post was too "themey" I've seen inspiration boards like that with out twilight attached, and no one makes fun of those. Now, the ones with bottled blood soda are retarded, but I think the first board is beatufil, twilight inspired or not.
