We're doing the wedding on the cheap. The venue is only costing us $200 and since we're doing a retro party spread we are able to get party platters from the local grocery store. No photographer, I'm going to ask my brother to take pictures. And there are less than 50 people on the guest list. Plus we're using our tax refunds to pay for the honeymoon.
This is the second marriage for both of us, and we were waffling about whether we wanted a wedding or not. I had to plan a wedding I didn't want the first time I got married, so dog gone it I'm going to plan this one how I want it and I'm going to have fun!
We met with the minister and he provided a contemporary script that we like. We're trying to decide if we want to write our own vows, and if we do we can add the Fallout references there.
No, but we tell people we met at Gamestop (long story). I knew he was the one the moment he showed me his game room. He has almost every console ever made from Atari to Intellivision to Genesis, to PlayStation, etc. Handheld consoles, modern consoles, those "I didn't even know these were made" consoles. And one huge bookshelf completely full of games that I've happily added to since we met. I'm more of a Fallout fan than he is, but he thought it was a neat idea to have a Fallout wedding.
I'm jealous of those people that can just envision something in their head, then make it. And they don't just make it, they make it perfectly (like cook or sew or craft).
Hi everyone! I'm getting married in May and we are having a Fallout themed/retro 50's themed wedding. We're telling our non-geek and older guests that it's retro 50's themed because they won't get the Fallout reference. We're going to dress up in retro clothes. I've made Fallout food boxes for decorations at the buffet table (Insta-Mash, Pork n' Beans, Yum Yum Deviled Eggs, Blamco Mac and Cheese, Fancy Lad Snack Cakes, etc) and the centerpieces are going to be Nuka Cola bottles with baby's breath flowers.
I'm having trouble with the ceremony, though. The reverend I've found wants to do a traditional ceremony in Shakespearean english, but it just doesn't fit. Has anyone else done a Fallout themed wedding? What was your ceremony like? Any ideas on a ceremony script? I don't want it to be over-the-top Fallout, but I don't want it to be boring and generic.
