Rejected Wedding Ideas
As you plan your wedding, you will come across many ideas. Some are better than others. The following are ideas that grooms have come up with that have, to the world's great loss, been rejected by their brides.
Idea: Construction themed wedding
If the wedding site is undergoing renovation, some couples may (briefly) consider a construction themed wedding.
The Construction Theme entails:
- Color theme of orange and yellow
- Yellow hard-hats for the wedding party
- Decorations of caution tape
- Orange road cones for the candle holders
- Pastor uses a megaphone for the ceremony
Idea: Smoke and lights full production
The full production entails:
- Groom and attendants emerge at the beginning through the smoke of a smoke machine to the music of 2001: The Space Odyssey
- The lights dim, and then with pyrotechnic brilliance, the bride enters to the music of The Flight of the Valkyrie using a stage-issue zip-line.
- The pastor conducts the ceremony in the voice of Morgan Freeman.
- The pronouncement and kiss are backed by Carl Orff's Carmina Burana finale performed by live musicians.
- The couple is picked up by a sleek, shiny black limo-helicopter
- The guests all get pop-corn and fountain drinks during the performance.
Idea: Wedding: The Musical
This theme entails:
- Elaborate costumes and choreography
- Everyone wears stage make-up
- All traditional spoken parts are sung
- Random full-chorus song and dance numbers occur throughout
- A brief intermission would occur before the final scenes
- The vows are done as moving solos
- Big final reprise for the recessional
- Big cast party afterwards (a.k.a. the reception)
Idea: Betazoid wedding
All the Star Trek fans out there should know what a Betazoid wedding is like. Needless to say, this idea was very short lived, and really not that practical nor really that good of an idea. In fact, this was just a bad idea for countless reasons besides the fact that everyone would be uncomfortable, and not to mention that the wedding was to be at a Baptist church. Enough said.
Idea: Digital wedding
This one has a lot of practicality, but alas is not very romantic, nor traditional. However, if both the bride and groom are very skilled in technology, it could work.
This theme entails:
- The entire wedding is web-cast live
- The actual ceremony takes place in an IBM server room
- The entire ceremony is spoken in UTF-8 binary (Pastor: "0100010101100010101...")
- Couple registers only at www.thinkgeek.com and www.tigerdirect.com
- The honeymoon is just the Virtual Reality games at Dave and Buster's
