A Medieval camping festival wedding (aka Game of Thrones meets Burning Man meets Asian customs!)
We wanted an outdoorsy, Game of Thrones meets Burning Man meets Asian customs wedding. It opened with a "Red Army" parade: a parade of our closest friends with banners, drums, bubbles, and flowers! The groom, Nick, also read family vows to my daughter. We had 300 pounds of meat (because we both love food), belly dancers, live music, fire performers, and a bounce house!
A fantasy-inspired wedding with influences of military travels
Brenna and Alexander had a gorgeous fantasy and Game of Thrones-inspired wedding with extra inspiration from their military travels, especially to China. The New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden was the background for their ceremony where Alexander recited a poem he’d wrote especially for Brenna.
You could see the influence of things they love: traveling adventures, Game of Thrones, the color purple, and their two dogs/ring bearers (in bow ties!).
A wedding of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones-inspired wedding
Our wedding was inspired by Game of Thrones. In addition to simply loving the world of A Song of Ice And Fire, Game of Thrones played a major part in our relationship. Our relationship started veering into "dating" territory when we started to play A Game of Thrones: The Card Game. It all spiraled from there. Here’s how we planned our wedding of Ice and Fire…
We had a Game of Thrones themed shower with an actual Iron Throne!
I could not have been more surprised when, three months after my engagement to Elliott was announced, my usually traditional mom called me and said “How would you feel about a Game of Thrones themed shower?” Elliott and I love the show and we were eagerly awaiting the next season. I was jumping up and down ecstatically when I told her “YES!”
