Costumes, elves, and the one ring: An epic fantasy and sci-fi literary adventure wedding
This nerdy pair chose a fantasy/sci-fi literary theme for their wedding, and asked people to come in costume as their favorite literary characters. We’re talking Jedis, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Pans and Wendys, fairy tale princesses, elves, hobbits, and more. Don’t miss the bride’s handmade green corset dress, the book-themed centerpieces, and the key scavenger hunt.
