I'm so glad your dress worked out amazing too! @Claudia - I actually got the lanterns from an chain decor store in New Zealand called "Acquisitions". It's in all the shopping malls in Auckland. I'm not sure if they have online ordering too, or not. I let the girls keep the lanterns afterward instead of the usual jewellry as a bridesmaid present. @Jordan – yes, I remember you now.

And your wedding advice - "A wedding is two things and two things only — a ceremony to mark your choice to commit to each other, and a wicked awesome party. Concentrate on those two aspects and forget everything else." - is SO EXACTLY RIGHT! My offbeat fiance and I are currently doing the traditional-parent-organization-dance. Yep, that line had the tears coming for me too.

Everyone had fun, no one was wearing clothes they hated and the metal singalongs rocked my socks. Oh and the reading was an edward monkton one about dinosaurs, how appropriate, and totally cute :) I went to this wedding, it was the most awesome epic wedding ever!

Suddenly, this tall, proud warrior steps into view, and he's holding out his hand, and he's smiling, and tears are pouring down his cheeks, and I know I'm never going to want for anything for the rest of my life." I am at least a week off PMSing, but this one made me cry anyway, so it has to be an amazing fabulous wonderful wedding "When I was walking down the aisle with my dad I couldn't see anything because… well, I'm a bit blind.

That's really rather sweet. Also: Anything with Vikings in it is automatically epic. ANYTHING. "James and I met on an archaeological excavation five years ago"
