A Halo Wedding

We've had a few posts on wedding themes here at the Wedding Planners, but a wedding held in Orlando, Florida on January 17th was a new one for me. This bride and groom themed their wedding on a video game.

The newlyweds met playing Halo so the gamers thought a Halo-themed wedding would be perfect. I know nothing about the game, but one of the characters named Master Chief presided over the ceremony. I suppose this is no different than any of the other themes people pick, except this one sure generated a lot of publicity.

Here's a peek from MTV who covered the Halo nuptials:

Is there a game you love enough to make it the theme of your wedding? And if you had to choose between a Halo or a Hello Kitty wedding, what would you pick?

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?

Something a Little Different...Part 1

In cruising around the Internet I discovered how creative people can be with their weddings. I've only ever attended the traditional type, but themed weddings are out there (and lots of them). And they're not all in Vegas, either.
