The Wedding Planners: Hello Kitty...Wedding!

Hello Kitty...Wedding!

We have talked about themed weddings on this blog before. People have different passions, hobbies and favorite places that most can be incorporated into a wedding somehow.

I'm a big Star Wars fan and I must admit the thought of a wedding on the terrace of Villa Balbianello overlooking Lake Como where Star Wars ll: Attack of the Clones was filmed gives me the tingles.

But this one is a new for me...a Hello Kitty Wedding!

Check out this video of a couple in Hong Kong and their Hello Kitty wedding. Based on all the cameras and that it seems to take place in a train station or something, I wonder if it was a contest prize. The bride and groom look happy, but I wonder if this was his first choice of a wedding theme!

In case you might think they were the only ones to want a Hello Kitty wedding, think again. Hello Kitty is a very popular wedding theme.

I couldn't figure out how to embed this video, but it's a news report on the popularity of Hello Kitty weddings. At least one hotel in Japan offers a Hello Kitty Wedding package! There are even Hello Kitty wedding rings. And to make things even easier on the bride, they've designed an entire line of Hello Kitty wedding gowns. I'll have to ask Serena what she thinks about these dresses!

Imagine wearing a themed Hello Kitty wedding dress so everything coordinates on your special! But a warning, these dresses are not cheap. This pink one is around $4000.

I know one person who thinks this is the best idea ever! My five year old daughter wants to sign up now. She would love to have a Hello Kitty wedding and be a Hello Kitty bride especially if she could have Hello Kitty as her bride's maid. What about you?

I've got to admit, I'm a more traditional sort. I don't think I could do the Hello Kitty wedding. :); November 19, 2008 at 3:08 AM

This had to be a contest, don't you think? If not, to each his own.

Great post, thanks.; November 19, 2008 at 10:41 AM

Myrna Mackenzie said...: I don't know if I would have this type of wedding, but I would totally love to attend one! The dresses are romantic and pretty in a kind of weird way, but if someone I knew was having one I would be doing my best to finagle my way onto the guest list.; November 22, 2008 at 9:40 AM
