I went to a wedding once. It was not a cosplay wedding, never billed as one. Someone still sowed up in a closet cosplay Elsa from frozen.

>>8375326
Closet Elsa... You mean blonde braid and sparkly blue dress ?
That sound like a normal weeding attire if you don't know better.

I'm dying.

>>8375324
I've been thinking of doing a kasugami cosplay since I was born in the year of the sheep.

Not relevany to the the OP. How did you make the gourd?

At Sakura Con this year someone proposed at a panel and it turns out that someone on the panel was a priest I guess. Anyway they got married right there in front of everyone. It was super cringe worthy.

>>8375371
2-1$ punch balloons from dollar store
1-floral foam cone\
thick yellow/gold rope and tassel
paper mache and plaster and paint

Blew up both balloons, one bigger than the other, taped them together tight, carved cone to form spout, covered everything in mache and plaster, sand till smooth as shit, paint. Add rope around middle. (I also stuck some sheer purple fabric into the tip to look like mist.)

Sorry for off topic OP.

>friend of friends apparently had their first date seeing Wreck It Ralph
>fast forward a few years
>couple cosplayed Ralph and Vanellope at con
>guy cosplaying Ralph surprise proposes to Vanellope during the con

>>8375375
Either the wedding was fake or the proposal was. You have to have a license to get legally married.

>>8375324
I don't into Naruto so I originally thought you were referring to Persona Jiraiya

>>8375493
Would have been equally as odd.

>>8375282
>Con proposals

I remember at Otakons '08 masquerade some guy proposed to his girl in the middle of their skit. When your girl responds to that by saying "we have to talk about this" she ain't the one bro.

I felt bad for him.

>>8375282

>trying not to laugh against my will

>>8375565
Don't propose in public. God.
Imagine having to turn that down.

>>8375282
I haven't seen a wedding peach wedding and that upsets me

Nothing against the hobby but cosplay weddings seem far too cringy to me. I do plan on wearing lolita to my wedding, and I think a lolita wedding can actually be made tasteful.

>>8375565
Honestly, I'd be pretty upset if someone proposed to me in front of a ton of people. Especially if we had never talked about it before. I'd just be really embarrassed, and there's a ton of pressure to say "yes" when someone proposes to you in public. I feel bad for the girl.

>>8375748
Reminds me of the guy who bought a ton of iPhones to propose with and she said no.

>>8375683
>cosplay weddings seem far too cringy to me
Plus the attention whore female guests will use it as an opportunity to show up the bride and get attention by showing off tits or wearing full white.

>>8375766
Exactly. I couldn't even tell who the bride and groom were initially in OP's picture because the front cosplayers steal all the attention.

Also those poor normalfags. Kek

I'm serious; I want to walk up the aisle to the opening theme from ffvii In fact the whole damn ceremony will be entirely music from vii, viii and x

>>8375683
Same, anon. I mean I'm cool with cosplay themed weddings if everyone is on board (like the star trek, star wars, superhero weddings you see sometimes) but not if it's some awkward mess.

I do want to wear a lolita dress (or maybe something very victorian), if I ever do walk the aisle though.

>>8375858
Im the anon you replied to. Which dress/brand is this?? I have a folder of lolita wedding dresses I can dump if anyone is interested.

>>8375800
Agreed. I am acquainted with a few people who have friends who went to the wedding so I've been seeing pics pop up on my feed here and there.
I'm surprised the bride was not offended by some of the costumes there (maybe she was, I don't know). You can easily weed out the "I'm only here for attention" people... it's gross, really.

I've seen how the planning went for OP's wedding.
>open invite
>cosplay allowed
>potluck
>Skype access for those unable to make it
>dollar store candies for the bridesmaids

Nope

>>8375452
that's cute ngl

>>8375683
Not a lolita by any means, but I'd love a lolita-inspired/frilly wedding dress.

>>8376004
jesus christ how horrifying

>>8375950
yes please!

>>8375454
You can pick one up at any courthouse before or after ceremony. All you need is an officiate and witnesses.

>>8375282
NICE DAY FOR A, WEEB WEDDING!!!

>>8375282
Is that bitch on the far left wearing a yukata to a wedding? Eww. Yukata are so casual you shouldn't even be wearing them while shopping. She's be better of wearing a crested iro muji or Edo komon, or tomesode. And don't get started on the girl in front row, center left.

I hate how weebs can't even be bothered to learn kimono etiquette.

God you just reminded me of this cringey video. the only nerd shit these people know about are old mario, gen 1 pokemon, and john green
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mVLtwaR1xs

>>8375282
I can't tell who the bride and groom (? assuming hetero union) is in this picture, such a cluster fuck

I'm planning on having a fun wedding.

Yep, fun. I had a boring wedding witjh the expensive dress and stupid cake and this time it's going to actually be fun for me and not make me cry when I have to put my dress back on for more pictures.

>>8376843
I would imagine it's the ones in the back center under the arch.

>>8375748
Yeah, I had this happen to me. I wanted to walk the stage solo to show off the costume I spent a lot of time making and didn't want him to come with me because his costume was shit. He got some kind of hookup with staff and they made us go on together so he could propose. I mean, it's like really hard to say, "I'll think about it...." when you're on stage in front of hundreds of people. I ended up saying "yes", but extra awkwardness ensued because I was wearing gloves and they were difficult to get off to put the ring on.

Please, people. Proposing at cons is not all that it is cracked up to be, unless you're a huge fucking dramawhore.

I remember I was looking through taobao for lolita stuff, and came across this store. I think generally some of their stuff could work for wedding things.

idunno. I mean, I've seen people become bridezillas over throwing the perfect wedding like it's the whole point of their entire existence, and it just seems somewhat misguided. It feels like we've all been brainwased into handing money over to wedding planners, dressmakers, hotels, caterers and the like because somehow the wedding becomes the really important thing.

Yet it's not really the wedding that's important. It's the part after, when the two people have to live with each other and try to build a family that's the really important stuff, so why piss away money throwing some grand wedding ceremony when you could use that money for a honeymoon, downpayment on a house, a car -- some other things you'll actually get some use out of.

I mean, I'm not really sure that a cosplay potluck is the way to go, I personally would not do an open invite for strangers to come to my wedding. But I think a "traditional wedding" is kind of brainwashed. I can appreciate if a couple wants to keep things cheap and simple instead.

>>8376841
My cousin had a gaming themed wedding, but the ceremony was really nice and classic with only a few pop culture references, while the reception was laid back with lots of board games and video games and interactive games about the bride and groom. They met in an online game and my cousin is doing some sociology and the internet phd degree or something so it made sense. In other words they got to incorporate nerdom without calling it a freaking "nerdfighter" wedding

Holy shit I know one of the girls in this photo hahaha.

>>8376656
This isn't lolita-inspired. It's actually a Cardcaptor collab wedding dress.

I thought the Sailor Moon inspired wedding a while ago was beautiful. Especially the invitations.

>>8375800
I had the same problem. Initially, I thought the bride and groom were the girl in the pink dress up front and the guy next to her.
Then I saw the actual bride and groom's heads poking over the crowd.

>>8377150http://www.defectivegeeks.com/2014/12/18/sailormoonwedding/

Part of me had wanted to do a LotR themed wedding. But in a really subtle way. Mostly so I can have my invitations look like this.

This wedding was so beautiful. I like tasteful and subtle cosplay weddings. I would not let people dress up, but I wouldn't mind if they did little homages to some characters like having a themed tie or shoes, but I wouldn't let them dress all out. Especially on my important day.

>tfw at my brothers wedding his friends actually showed up in star wars costumes and escorted the freshly married couple out of the church and to the festival location, all while playing the imperial march in the background.

He is a huge star wars fan and it was hilarious.

>>8376984
>>8376991
Holy shit that's a beautiful dress.

>>8377239
Do a nature wedding. That's trendy right now, isn't it? Doing an outside ceremony with strung lights and natural looking flowers instead of roses and with wooden benches instead of folding chairs.

>>8375748
This so hard. Some people are stupid enough to seriously look down on people who say no to public proposals. It's like, really? You're going to judge someone for saying no even though you know jack shit about their relationship? For all someone knows, the person proposing could be abusive, they could have barely known each other, or countless other good reasons for the proposed to not be down.

>>8375766
Remember guys, it's not just the female cosplayers who are attentionwhores, the guys are just as bad, there's just less men in the hobby, so you hear about their drama less often. My friend had a cosplay wedding and like half the main guests were doing this, men included.

>>8376933
your marriage sounds miserable

http://www.defectivegeeks.com/2014/12/18/sailormoonwedding/

I dont necessarily love the giant fucking moon rod, but i really love the idea.

I think people need to remember that a wedding is a wedding and stick with some traditional elements of decoration/dressing. But I totally intend to do a sailor moon inspired wedding, just not so insanely obvious.

>>8377394
her dress and hair are so fucking ugly and unflattering, god damn. especially that dress. it's a wedding not a quinceanera. so many beautiful designs to draw inspiration from in sailor moon and this is what she came up with? jesus christ

>>8377276
> inviting your dead husband to your wedding to a bastard

>>8377414
The hair, the dress, the shoes, the acessories, the gold stars everywhere, the childish cake, the rods.... too much of everything. And everything so tacky.

>>8377150
>>8377153
I like this a lot. Sure, it's kinda gaudy and OTT, but I love that they put so much work and effort into it to make it beautiful and the way they want it. The pictures I was most impressed by were all the work in progress shots. And they have a 100% Sailor Moon vibe going without actually cosplaying. And normalfag seeing this would probably think it's a bit silly but wouldn't think they looked like cartoon characters. This is a anime wedding done right.

Thread needs more con anime proposals.

>>8377414
Are you jelli or something? The cake looks cute and awesome imho, the dress looks cute too, the hair looks awesome!

>>8377861
The hair would've been fine if the tone of pink were closer to the dress or vice versa, but warm pink+cool pink just looks off. The lining of the skirt is super visible beneath that weak-ass thin layer of tulle and the style just looks disconnected from the bodice. I wouldn't call the outfit awful or anything, but I don't think it's particularly good or even decent either.

My friends wedding had like the tiniest if touches that it was a nerd wedding.

Everything was done very traditionally but the music at the ceremony was Skyrim and the cake was topped with their Avengers Video game figures that I've forgotten the name of. The bride's had a tiny veil and bouqet. The groom's had a bow tie stuck on. And they had a small post box for messages shaped like the tardis, if I remember right.

Yeah like i said, carrying the rod around and the dress is a bit too costumey. I DO like the idea of the lace design she had put into the back of the dress, and I like the printed napkins and placecards.

I want to steal some of those elements

>>8375331
I think I saw a post about that somewhere on /cgl/....

>>8377060

Mr. Husband proposed to me on the kissing bridge at the RenFaire, which I thought was very romantic (we had been together 6 years and I was totally ready for it though).

>>8377349
Probably. Honestly with how conservative and Christian my parents are, they'd never really understand the whole themed wedding though.

I have to say that the Marauders Map invitations are pretty cute.

>>8378163

weddings in general are somewhat useless

>>8378182
please continue to tell us about your lonely, sad life.

I'm sort of glad girlyhoot didn't have a weeaboo wedding. Although she is a lifestyle lolita and a fan of the Animes, I could not find any aspects in her wedding. It was really toned down, the Honeymoon is at a resort, not a lolita comm, and best of all her she was wearing a wedding dress!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNghkgJ1gX0

tfw I'm the Jade Harley in this. regretregretregret I was sooo deep in HS shit and she planned the whole thing without me knowing. She had me lie to all our friends for like months and say the proposal was real... I was 16.

>>8378182

>>8375282

there is a couple not in cosplay, but still had their wedding at an anime con that they run and held it as a main event.

barf!

botcheck asked for images of cake, i am highly amused.

Does anyone have that vine of a couple cutting into their wedding cake with a cardcaptor sakura wand? It was just about the cutest shit I've ever seen.

>>8377247
i still feel like i'm getting secondhand embarrassment from this

>>8375813
At my wedding I walked down to Dearly Beloved from KH and hubby and I walked back up the aisle to the FFX victory fanfare. :D

Has anyone seen any shrine maiden themed wedding dresses? I was curious what one would look like.

>>8375683
I would like to wear lolita as a reception dress, I don't like the idea of a short poofy dress as the main one especially when it's something I already wear on a fairly regular basis.

>>8377708
I honestly laughed at this for a solid 5 minutes. Thank you anon

>>8375282
Is that Gladzy Kei in the front there?

>>8377414
She looks like Glinda.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING SAID THE BRIDESMAID TO THE WAITER
AH YES BUT WHAT A SHAME WHAT A SHAME THE POOR GROOM'S BRIDE IS A WEEB

>>8379782
Now I would so get married in Glinda's blue dress. That one is gorgeous

>>8379382
that sounds like a terrible idea. if you wanna go full weeb, just get a bodyline dress and wear cat ears or some shit.

>>8379804
I kek'd

Isn't there a girl who used to be a popular cosplayer but is pretty washed up now in Australia that is having a Sword art online themed wedding? I remember seeing a post about it on a Australian dramu thread. Seemed extremely cringe-worthy

>>8377023
I agree that a pot luck open invite wouldn't have been my choice, But I can understand why someone would do it. I got married in the past year and I'm happy to be married but that whole planning part sucked ass. It was nice to think about having a classy wedding with a custom cake, embossed invitations, and a nice pasta dinner. Then you see how just to get enough subway sandwiches for 50 people is going to cost $600, bottom of the barel photographers start at $1500, a basic dance hall is 2k with no chairs or tables, and a basic bouquet is $150-300. All of that shit adds up and I can easily understand how the average wedding is $10k in the US.

We DIYd a lot of our backyard wedding, but since I didn't have a wedding planner and a lot of the stuff was hard to coordinate the day of as the bride, a few things ended up being left out. You only have so much time and hands to do stuff. There are certainly trashy weddings (I hate camo/hunting weddings) but I'm much more sympathetic to brides now.

If there's anything I wish I could redo about my wedding was having someone be my day of coordinator.

>>8380006
nice blog

>>8380006
A lot of people save years for weddings. They're luxuries, not necessities. I don't understand the big rush to get married if both people are committed, or at least not have a courtroom ceremony with an actual wedding later when they can afford it. Childish.

Last year some people got married at the con venue a day before Minami started. It was open invite and a bunch of cosplayers turned up.

Even more awkwardly, there was a wedding at Kitacon. the committee actually had special badges made for people who were invited and gave it it's own time slot in the events schedule. The two guests of honour were invited. If you want to get married at a con it's fine I guess, but it's so self centred to request those things unless you're literally gonna make it a free for all.

>>8380082
> I don't understand the big rush to get married if both people are committed
It gives a lot of legal and financial benefits in many places. A wedding is not a luxury, a luxurious ceremony and party is.

unrelated story, a sollux proposed to an aradia during a homestuck shoot sometime last year. wasn't actually there. but i do know they were both like 14-16 and both pretty serious about the thing.

fuckin' kids.

>>8380082
I can understand you to a point. I told my boyfriend that I won't marry him until we can afford the wedding I'm dreaming of. Last week we calculated the money we'd be saving if we married and we really thought about marrying soon and celebrating some years after.

>>8375331

Well, the wedding was more cringeworthy than I remembered. Didn't see the ceremony though, just them setting up for it.

>>8379782
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Glinda's bubble gown when I saw that dress.

They broke up during the following year, apparently their relationship was very on-off and they're together again or something. I dunno man.

Never been to one in person, but all the videos of them seem pretty cringey.
My opinion is if your going to do it, go all out and do it right like these 2.

>>8383818
Anon most anime and video game fans don't have enough to rent a giant Gundam.
>mfw I want to do that for my own wedding but I'm a poorfag.

My two experiences with conventions and anything wedding-related:

>Fanime this year
Someone fucking proposed to someone else over the intercom/announcements in the artist alley

It's just so fucking cringey when you can barely even hear the announcement AND when you have this random announcer person broadcasting it to the room (as opposed to you doing it yourself?). It' just... such a lack of decorum for somethng that should probably be a pretty significant moment in life.

>YaoiCon a couple years ago
Not completely related, but I remember one YaoiCon where the hotel double-booked the convention and a wedding reception on the same day. The reception was in this central patio area and was literally surrounded by the rest of the convention (crossdressing girls in anime wigs and all).

Whenever I saw the people from the reception, they did not look pleased. No surprise.

>>8377247
just no

>>8375282
It's not quite the same thing, but my cousin decided she wanted to have a Homestuck themed wedding last year. Everything was fine until her parents realized exactly what she had in mind, and they started overreacting wildly. Basically, they said they wouldn't pay for anything and would even try to make her pay back what they already had put down for things like a deposit on the location and other early expenses like that. It caused so much drama for our whole family with people taking sides and arguing about it non-stop. But eventually her parents calmed down and stopped being so unreasonable and everything worked out. They still sometimes act kind of surly about their daughter's 'ridiculous' wedding photos, but even that will fade away I think.

>>8383960
Please I insist about more details about it!

>>8375565
man, it's so awkward and embarrassing for everyone if it's rejected
I don't think anyone should propose in public unless they've both talked about getting married before, sure there is a little less surprise for the other person, but it's way better than putting so much pressure on your partner that they are forced to say yes and regret it or embarrass both of you.

>>8384444
oh yeah and to post something on topic, I really want the instrumental version of "kiss kiss, fall in love" from ouran host club to play when I'm walking down the isle. I will make it happen.

>>8384464
I always said if I got married that I'd have the X Japan hide remix of "Celebration" played at the reception at the very least.

I emailed my boyfriend and his mothe my selection of prospective wedding music and his mothe said 'Next time you want to give a man bad news, wait until he's had his dinner'

I don't think there s anything tacky about wanting the FFVII main theme as your wedding march. I'm just as much a fan of genuine classical music rather than classical/romantic styled modern pieces but I think she was just being a snob/purist. Many of my music teschers have walked in on me practising/listening to FF backing tracks to compliment my taste and ask who the composer is/was. Nothing wrong with Nobuo

>>8379460
I'm wearing Haenuli's Swan Lake in Ivory for a reception but looking at it I thought I'd gladly get married in it myself, especially if it had some sort of train at the back. A line solid colored dresses, tea length and/or reduced poof would indeed look less weird though

>>8379318
Epic win

>>8384752
Here's where you pull the bride card. The wedding is always about the bride and what the bride wants, the bride gets. Mother of the groom only gets to boss around her son and his best men for her choices about what they should wear.

>>8384752
i agree.... i really dont see anything wrong with game music as long as it is classical or orchestral and not like a blatant obnoxious theme song like Zankoku na Tenshi no teze or I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS DUN DUN DUN

I'd love to wear lolita on my wedding day, but I wouldn't throw a party or anything. I don't want anyone else bothering me in my special day. It's supposed to be about me and my husband, fuck the rest.

>>8376830
I had the same thoughts, anon

>>8376946
>see image on tumblr
>fall in love with it
>lol not like I'll actually ever own it but it's pretty anyway
>tfw husband not only encourages but basically outright pushes me to buy the dress

He paid around ~$1200. The way I figure, it's actually pretty cheap for a wedding dress, but since it can double up as a lolita dress I can wear it again during big events or something, so the investment was worth it to me (plus the sentimental value). I wouldn't have thought to spend that much on a single dress without his encouragement though that's for sure. Baby has lots of other lovely white dresses though.

Also Elpress has some beautiful ones too. >>8376984 >>8376991

What the fuck? Is there some context to this?

>>8386286

>>8385861
This looks so garbage for a wedding and less lolita and more erotic. Especially with those tights. This looks like a dress you'd wear coming back when you finally get back home after the reception and you're ready for the 'D'. I can't think of anything slightly lolita that would work for a wedding.

A courtroom ceremony is not "childish". Anything beyond having your marriage license signed and approved is excess for a wedding and thinking you need any of that excess to married is childish. If you want it fine, but it's not a requirement to be married.

>>8386503
I find courtroom weddings very charming because everyone, in my opinion, shouldn't be seated for 1+hours listening to someone they don't know read shitty passages or droll on about nonsense. Also, for people who DONT know, you are NOT married at the wedding. You still have to sign papers after the actual ceremony. The same papers you go to the courthouse to sign. Most of the time they still make you go to the courthouse depending on your venue.

If I get married I would rather spend money on only the reception venue and make sure that is nice for everyone and then arrive there after the courthouse. I wouldn't spend money on walking down the isle and shit. Not worth it.

>>8377514
any pics?

>>8377414
This could have worked with a longer torso or a bodice that created the illusion of a longer torso.

It just looks stumpy the way it is. But the lace pieces were pretty.

related: a less obvious bridal party that likes Sailor Moon.

>>8386503
By your definition of childish cosplay and jfashion is beyond childish and practically for toddlers.

>>8384752
I pray to god your bf dumps you, you selfish cunt. A marriage is a partnership, not a day when you get to throw as many tantrums as you want. Just reading your writing I can tell you're either ugly or fat... Most likely both.

>>8386511
This.

I think normal wedding ceremonies are ridiculous tbh. You spend thousands of dollars to walk down the aisle. I did a wedding/honeymoon trip abroad and spent the same amount I would have locally for a ceremony and I tell you what, 10k traveling around the world is a lot more fun and money well spent than one night locally. Sign the papers at the courthouse, go on an amazing trip and experience each other, then come back and have a small, cheap party with your family. It's all a lot less painful.

i still want a princess/queen serenity inspired wedding dress, have since i was a little girl.

>>8376853
Second wedding? Tell us about your first wedding, I like hearing about people's experiences and I've never been maried.

>>8384734
Underrated post

>>8387080
Aw, she sounds like she still has her child-like innocence.

But brah, have you talked to her about this? Like some subtle nodges her and there especially if you're the one who plays a big part in her decisions.

Unless, of course, you don't see it too much of a big deal even though it sounds rather embarrassing.

>>8387096

It's pretty much the former. I've accepted it how it is. I've tried talking to her but it becomes a fight so I've just kinda let it be. I don't play a big part in the decisions either. I just need to try to guess what option she wants.

It's not that big of a deal. I'm just expecting the pictures to show up here.

I thought if I'd ever get married that I'd want a Halloween day wedding. Halloween was always my favorite holiday and I'd want everything done up an elegant but a Halloween theme.

Might be straying a bit into cosplay territory but I wouldn't mind doing my gown and makeup to look a bit like a ghost bride either.

>>8387068
I wouldn't mind if my husband and his groomsmen did that...

>>8387102
>I've tried talking to her but it becomes a fight so I've just kinda let it be.
>I don't play a big part in the decisions either.

Dude stop. Talk to her. Put a hold on the wedding and sort this shit out. These are the things you deal with before you marry someone.

I hate to go all armchair psychologist on you, but you're relationship is not as perfect as it may seem if you can't have an opinion on something that's supposed to be about the both of you. Or on something that's costing you 5K+ for that matter.

Like are you prepared for her to act like this when she want's other expensive things in the future? When you're buying your first home? When you're buying a car? When you're going on a vacation?

>>8387110
This is still really pretty though. All the cringe tier weddings look really sterile and boring except for a few people in costume.

>>8387119
>Let's call our child Usagi, anon-kun.

>>8387120
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to be in the cringe tier section and I know it's pretty easy to do when you're doing a Halloween theme.

Here's a cake I thought look nice.

If I ever got married, I'd like to do a nature wedding I think. Just have the damn ceremony and reception outside, and then everyone will relish in how lovely it is, in reality I just projecting my love for Mori and Zelda. It's not like any of my family will know what's up because I love muh Kokiri Forest. Plus my family is super normalfag and I have mastered the hidden powerlevel ages ago. As long as I wear some sort of veil they could care less if I got married in a church or not.

>>8384664
Holy shit.
Many keks were had.

>>8387165
pic related I guess. I mean it's not cheating if it's a botanical garden, right? That's considered a classy place to get married I feel...

>>8387102
Dude, just fucking talk to her. Sitting back being passive and giving her the go-ahead for everything, but then turning around to try and complain about her like she's done something wrong is petty as hell.
Your marriage is going to be shit if this is how you deal with things.

>>8387417

I don't complain except on an anonymous image board. It's called venting. I'm only mildly upset. Relax.

>>8386230
My husband took me to BTSSB NYC on the day it opened. They raffled off the chance to buy Scarlet Primavera Waltz as well as this. I didn't even win the raffle, really, but it was pretty obvious I was interested in the dress. Several winners passed it over and we ended up buying it. Otherwise these releases are made to order.

>>8386312
It is a little shorter than I would like, but I hope I can compensate with styling a little. I can see longer dresses working out just fine. Still shorter than the norm, but not everyone wants to drag a skirt on the ground.

The 3edgy5me ~faerie~ wannabe in me wants to have a fantasy inspired wedding dress (e.g. no discernible historical silhouette, just a mish mash of anachronistic ~fantasy~ shit), but I'm finding even mainstream wedding dressmakers can cater to that cascading type of silhouette.

That's it for geek wedding though. I get so much embarrassment from even listening to FF songs with other people, so I probably won't shoehorn that in. That's just in general though - I hate sharing my tastes with other people because of how embarrassed I am to show any sort of power level, be it geek related or otherwise.

>>8376812
In California (at least around where I live), you actually need the license beforehand. The courthouse I'm getting hitched at actually states that you cannot get it day of.

>>8387069
Dump your family

>>8387165
Gorgeous setting, but that damn chandelier feels so out of place

>>8387080
I'm confused about how you didn't know about this part of her personality before you proposed???

You can try showing her the Sailor Moon wedding from above >>8377153 and try to make it a little more classy. Less literal anime, more themed inspiration

>>8388310
Im from California also, but I have to say that in some places that isn't true. Like near San Francisco. You can get 'married' in the traditional sense, but you can sign the papers before or after. Regardless it will take about a month most of the time to go through, so you can have the shindig, but you won't be married officially for a while. I have never heard of any place not letting you have a ceremony BEFORE signing papers though. That makes zero sense.

>>8387080
Jfc, communicate man or your relationship isn't going to work out so well.

to be honest its my dream to do this

>>8386511
You don't have to go to a courthouse to be legally wed in the UK. If a place has a license then you sign the papers there and you're done. Pretty sure it's the same throughout a lot of the world.

>>8389466
pretty sure throughout a lot of the world normal people don't want a weeaboo wedding.

>Cringe level: AUTISM

Idk, I'm going through the thread and I find these pretty adorable. Sure, not all of them are glamorous but being able to commit like that with the person you love it is just so sweet.
Wheter your dress is shit or beautiful, it is all about the bond and make it as fun as possible.
Sure you ,might cringe when you're older and look at the pictures, but at that time, at that moment, it was all that mattered and Idk i'm crying,
these geeky weddings are so beautiful ;__;

I encourage everyone to have any kind or type of weddings.

Sweetheart I'm not fat. All I did was hypotheticaly suggest wedding music. Did I say I was making anyone go along with it? Did I mention cake, catering, dates, locations... Anything else at all? You're acting like you know me, the dynamics of my relationship and i'm some selfish bridezilla. In 23 years the idea just popped into my head and I was just musing about what Would be nice if it happened. I got a snarky enough response from his mother, thanks.

I'm the one who makes the 12 hour round trip every week to make it work and pays for everything, thankyou

>>8380082
Courtroom ceremonies are perfectly fine, my parents had one and so have my partner and I. Not everyone is religious and if you have a courtroom ceremony that doesn't mean you can't have a separate event at a different venue. You say childish but your own reasoning is that of a child wanting to have her own big princess day and chatting shit about anyone who doesn't share the same sentiments.

>>8384752
Aw. I was thinking that of doing something like that if marriage was in my future. I love Nobuo, but I'm also a huge Hisaishi fan. Maybe I'll settle for a combo of songs from both composers and do Aphex Twin's Avril 14th as the wedding march (I hate the original wedding march). Is it weird that I want to do something similar for my funeral?

>lavender town theme for funeral procession

Pull no punches Anon
Clearly it was necessary to air your opinion as rudely as possible in front of the girl who literally wore it to her wedding.

I'm sorry, but weddings that are literal cosplay events are fucking tacky as all hell. The little understated nods to your anime interests are cool, but when you're dressing in costume for your wedding, you're going to look like a tool for generations to come in the (undoubtedly) super lame wedding pictures you have done.

>Actual fucking wedding ceremony with a full group of Miyazaki cosplayers
>Less than twenty people showed up
>Find out after that they had met at the same con the year before and decided to get married there

I feel bad that it ended up flopping at the con. There was a lot of potential. They seemed happy though. I don't think I'd ever want to get married at a convention though. Imagine the weebs who could've showed up. They also had only known eachother for a year, who gets married that fast?

>>8389056
Hahaha, actually, I was talking about SF. But you're probably right for "normal"-type weddings. I'm getting married at city hall and they require all the paperwork before the ceremony.

>>8384752

How about trying it again by directly playing them music from Distant Worlds instead of actual game music, and making them listen to the tracks without letting them know it's FF music. You could probably throw some other actual (obscure) classical music in there just to throw them off and prove a point.

I might be prejudiced, but I think the music from the orchestra is arranged much nicer, whereas music from the game can sometimes have a sort of, how to say, like it repeats to particular beats and you can tell it was designed to be looped as game background music.

>>8392908
>Who gets married in a year?
A lot of people anon. Why do you think it's so weird for people to get married after knowing each other for a year?

>>8394477
They mustve changed that when they legalized gay marriage the first time. Or maybe the second time. This wasn't the case a few years ago. Lol. Funny how we are talking about the same place.

>>8394534
If they met the year before, that means the total time they been together would have been a year by the marriage. Which also means they planned the marriage months earlier, probably soon after the con depending on how on top of the things the con is for next year. It is not normal to plan to be wed by your first anniversary of meeting someone.

Most people do not get engaged months into a relationship.

>>8377608

You don't have to be engaged for a long time (or at all) to get married. You sound underage.

I want Dvorak's New World Symphony to play at my funeral. I am also very squicked out by the idea of my body being burried, mainly because I know how it will decompose and it upsets me. So I'd rather be cremated in one of those urns that you plant and it grows into a tree.

>>8395740
Not anon you're replying too but I want to be cremated and have my ashes put into one of those biodegradable tree urns as well. I'd just rather not shell out the money for funeral and burial expenses. Plus it's eco-friendly.

>>8394533
Honestly, I don't even think the FFVII theme sounds like something you walk down the isle to. The orchestral arrangement of Aerith's theme on the otherhand would sound nice.

>>8395744
It just seems cooler to die and then become a tree, then to die and rot in the ground.

>>8395806
*than

and becoming a charcoal briquette isn't that beneficial for the earth. theres a company that will freeze you in nitrogen, turn you into a powder and then use your body as plant food. much better for the environment.

Or if you insisted on being cooked, a company turns ashes into artificial reefs. and since oceans provide 90% of the oxygen for the planet you're better off helping the ocean than the trees.
>EDUCATE YOURSELF SHITLORD.

>>8377842
It really depends on the relationship. If it makes sense and they're open enough with each other to pretty much know what they want then it's a fun way to surprise them. No need to judge those who go through with them, it's all about context. Some people appreciate different things.
