Hahaha can I come?

SammySquirrel · 09/09/2012 21:48

My friend did this and they left the church through an arch of raised light sabres. They're such geeks. Twas fab.

FadingAwayToAHippo · 09/09/2012 21:48

Of course shaz only if you can help me pick some more music! :)

That would be flipping awesome! I love quirky weddings. Mine was fairly left field: DH and his best man collected our wedding feast of fish and chips in a pink wheelbarrow Grin

FadingAwayToAHippo · 09/09/2012 21:50

sammy there will be no light sabres and I'm thinking maybe just the bridal party. It's a wee nod to non catholic DP getting married in a catholic church. Will make him feel more at home as he's a huge SW fan!

We were going to name tables after quotes from films then the priest said that the bridal entrance and signing of register can be any music (within reason) as its not part of the religious ceremony (I'd need to check the imperial march is within reason)

So we were thinking of a "come what may" from Moulin Rouge for signing of register as that's my favourite film and Star Wars is DPs favourite film, so it's the only logical thing to do. I've totally convinced myself now!!

Amazing!

gallicgirl · 09/09/2012 22:05

hahaha that used to be my ringtone when my mom phoned.

I think it'll be fine, go for it.

Which quotes are you going to use? "These are not the guests you are looking for"

"Fading, I am your father"

shazbean · 09/09/2012 22:07

Sounds great!

FadingAwayToAHippo · 09/09/2012 22:09

No star wars quotes

We're going with

"we're going to need a bigger boat"
"where we're going we don't need roads"
"so I carried a watermelon"
"and the mutants at table nine"

I wanted to use the today one "mock me for my size, do you" but DP said people would think I was mocking him! Grin

Do it! But find a better pianist, or use the music from the film. The one you linked to was grim!

FadingAwayToAHippo · 09/09/2012 22:13

Yeah tooth we have a different pianist, will need to run it by him too :)

thenightsky · 09/09/2012 22:15

Do it!!! DH suggests you do your vows Yoda-style too. Grin

Proudnscary · 09/09/2012 22:16

DO IT

gallicgirl · 09/09/2012 22:16

All the more reason to use it!

What's the last one from?

how about "you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"

"are you feeling lucky?"

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"

*You know how to whistle don't you?"

maras2 · 09/09/2012 22:17

I'd bloody pay to see that.Do it please.

GolfOscarLimaDelta · 09/09/2012 22:18

Last week some squatters took over a local building and the police were called to implement the brand new squatters law.

A bit of a crowd had gathered to watch the guys on the roof so the police decided to put on their riot gear just in case.

I was following the live feed in the local paper and it reported that as the riot police approached, the crowd starting singing the imperial march. I giggled about that the whole day as was truely gutted I missed it!

Oh and yy, I had the same discussion with the priest too. Grin
Congrats and enjoy.
