Fantasy fandom mash-up: a Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding
It’s Hogwarts and Middle-earth combined to form a most heavenly, super DIYed, ultra geektastic wedding in the bride’s hometown in Texas. Loads of time went into the handmade invitations, save-the-dates, favors, centerpieces, programs, menus, seating chart, boutonnieres, and KICK-ASS sword handle bouquets. Seriously, don’t miss those. The couple rocked their Hogwarts houses all night on the dance floor and cut the cake with a huge axe. It was a hug axe fun time. Puns!
