Hey guys/gals
Well it is that time, I'm getting hitched [drink] and we have set a date for Dec 22. We choose this date because matt said he would get married if the world doesn't end (which we all know isn't [laugh])
So my plea is to all the peeps out there for some help. I have already tainted my brain by looking at traditional wedding stuff and have frustrated myself. We are by far from traditional, we want to do a theme. Of course the first thing out of matts mouth was a 'post apocalyptic' theme. I'm all down for this idea. But i'm starting to find it a little hard to come up with ideas (like i'm having a major mental block). Some friends have suggested that we need to find a certain type of theme, ex. such as if the world ends by war, natural disater, technology, zombies etc etc....which is what i'm having a hard time with. Also my other worry is I want to make it as close to accurate as possible (like decorations, etc) but don't want to be cheesy :-\ it seems like it would be a fine line.....or am i just over thinking this [laugh] but also want the guests to have fun.
Does anyone have any suggestions? have you ever been to a themes wedding? any input would be appricated.
The other thing is that I find it kind of hard to find a venue that would be willing to let us do something like this. We were talking about trying to find a ghost town (and ask permission to use the land or whatever) but then there comes the trouble of heating it so its not so cold...plus this will all be done a very cheap buget, I will be paying for it all myself
Thanks

Congrats! [beer]
Walking dead theme?
Rootchick and I just said the hell with it. . . we got married in a park, found vows we liked off the net, silver rings online. We just had about 20 close friends and family. Spend like $500. If that.
Instead of a honeymoon we bought a 58" plasma and assorted home theater goodies. We figured the money would be better spent.
It really was
:D
Good luck!
New thought---
Fight Club theme.
Your guests can beat on each other :D

Walking Dead sounds interesting, i'll bring that up [thumbsup]
as for the park, well here the weather is a give or take. We could have a nice 50 degree weather or it can be balls cold.
I would do a shot gun wedding, and what we original planned, but he has tons of family flying in and i want to be a small simple nice wedding....But really cheat [laugh]
Thanks for the congrats
Zombie wedding would be cool. You can also go the more "traditional" Star Wars wedding.

I'm talking about the whole wedding party!! You will need one "normal" to chase around.
I do like the whole idea of zombie, but then the question is how do you cater and decorate for it?
matts suggestion is that everying attending should bring a hug can of whatever food [laugh] and another friend suggested make our wedding cake out of twinkies [laugh]
but i do believe we will will ahve an undead elvis marry us [laugh]
Traditional Scottish wedding. Complete with Haggis!
Grats Mouse. Looks like the ranks of the DITR faithful are getting more and more married. [drink]
Congrats!!!! The two of you are adorable! Couldn't be happier for you and the pups (did you keep that foster dobie, by the way?)

Your zombie wedding comment made me recall catching a few minutes of some kind of late night weird TV show that was interviewing the staff of a morgue/wedding venue in New Orleans. I tried googling that but failed.
What I did find was someone's zombie wedding pics. Maybe that will help w/ideas.

As someone who has been playing Fallout 3 for the past couple of weeks, it sounds like you could be having an awesome theme [thumbsup]
