Yeah I got married on my best man's anniversary. Ironically we did it for the weather to be cooler and it was the hottest weekend in a month! But a little sweat never killed anyone :)

Tell that to a guy in 75 pounds of plate armor in 90* temps in the middle of a field. :D

You were betrothed in your armor?

If I ever get married I don't know what I'll do.
I'd probably were my armor for the reception.

What type of bribes were used? My wife would have lynched me.

My gosh, man! I can't even find a woman that will put up with me for any great length of time, and you found one that let you get married in armor. I'm jelly. Like...a lot. :o


Two questions:

1) What magical island did you find her on?
2) Were there any more women left on said magical island?

Ha! I wish. I was referring to our renn fest performances and the "lovely" temperatures we had. Ever seen a knight in liquid state? :D

I was, sadly, not married in armor, nor did it make an appearance at any time during the wedding. Not even so much as a sword in sight.

I told my girl that if we ever get married I want to do it at an SCA event. Less set up, lots of folks already there, easy to give directions.

Take lots of pictures if you do!  That would be a very cool looking wedding!

I almost convinced the wife to have our wedding at our LARP site...alas the state park was booked on our day.

lol, they're out there! I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.

My lady gave me the option, but with the caveat that she was wearing a more 1950's style dress, so it might look weird. Ultimately we decided on modern dress with swords.

We didn't wear anything fantasy or medieval at our wedding, but to give you some perspective on who I'm married to, the middle tier of our wedding cake had the One Ring inscription go around the whole thing, and our daughter's name is Eowyn.

I always thought a high-quality replica of one of the movie-versions of LotR's elvish rings would make a cool engagement ring. I don't know if it would really be appropriate since I'm not really familiar with modern marriage traditions, but hey...I'm allowed my geeky fantasies, right? ;)
