This couple has set the bar pretty high for a Star Wars’ Themed wedding. Actually, they have set the bar pretty high for ANY themed wedding. Hell we thought we were geeking out when we went to Vegas and went the Paramount Star Trek Experience (different universe…I know). I even got my pic in Captain Jean Luc’s chair and ate at Quarks! In fact I was roasted by a Klingon and a Ferengie. Something about all expiring Bachelors must drink Romulan Ale… the rest is a blur.
Check the video out after the jump and be prepared to be impressed! Thank you Obie Wan! Read the rest of this entry »
The economy still, well…sucks. Unfortunately, the cost of weddings seems to keep chugging right along. A prewifer emailed me the other day asking if there was a way to save on some of the costs. Now, there are definitely ways to save for a wedding, just browse the pages here and you are bound to find a few. But this one requires a little talent in the kitchen. So unless you are skilled in the arts of culinary or know someone who is, perhaps this is more of a video to watch on your couch then in your kitchen. If you think all you need is a little inspiration to get in the kitchen and make your prewife whole, figure that a typical wedding cake costs around $300 to feed 30 people. Oh yeah, don’t forget to let the prewife in on this little caper as well, lest she show her disapproval. Better yet, bring her in on the idea at the beginning and make it seem like a relationship building exercise:
“Honey you can bake the cake and I will make the icing!” Hey, it could work.
Ok, I know I said that last week was Star Wars week, but when I typed “Star Wars Wedding” into the Googlebox, up popped 22,000,000 (million!) hits. I mean, that is a lot of hits for people who use the Force to get hitched. So, I guess this will have to be week two of Star Wars.
I think the hardest part about pulling off such an event would be convincing the Prewife of its necessity. You could say, “but honey, I always pictured Yoda ministering at my wedding”, or “now you can wear the Metal Bikini!”, you know, say things that will really excite her and give her a glimpse of how the rest of her life is going to go…sweet.
So, after trolling the Web – here are some Star Wars wedding day pics for your enjoyment after the jump Read the rest of this entry »
Ok, so it is not really a wedding cake…or a groom cake…and we said we thought a Vader Head Cake would be less then salubrious… but then we got schooled from one of our readers about this very cool Vader Cake. Even though it is a birthday cake for kids, we asked ourselves the question…well, what, after all, is a groom cake, but a cake for a grown up kid!? Underneath the choco frosting is an enticing four layer cake carved into shape. Add some artistic talent and cue the sound effects a Vader head fit to be served!
What would’ve been really cool, is if the cake was a white marbled cake with strawberry jam for the marbleing and frosting between the layers. That way when you cut into the the dark one’s dome, boom! PTSD from the Return of the Jedi!
Ok, so we went ahead and done it. Created a forum on the chance that maybe someone god forbid hopefully, will use it. Actually, the real reason is because it is a very cool plugin for wordpress, but also because hey, why not try something new. You don’t have to sign up to user it yet, just hit the forum button at the top of the page, click on a topic and let it all out.
