We’re planning two weddings: family-friendly AND kink-friendly
One of things my fiancé and I most cherish about our relationship is that we lead the kind of double-life worthy of one of the superhero comic books he loves so much. Normally, we are responsible, hard-working citizens who live and parent together in a small, quiet town. But after a quick change in a phone booth (aka, when my ex has the kids and we travel), we become adventurers well-versed in kink and non-monogamy who love to find weird bars, get tattoos, and go out dancing until the wee hours of the morning.
So it stands to reason that we have to plan not one but two weddings…
This Tolkien wedding poem (that he wrote to his wife!) is the Arkenstone of wedding readings
J.R.R. Tolkien had a great love with his wife, Edith. She’s the inspiration for a character in The Silmarillion and he’s buried next to her under a single gravestone inscribed with the names Beren and Luthien. He wrote her a poem that we LOVE as a wedding reading. Let’s see the Tolkien wedding poem in full…
A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka “A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!”)
When people asked about our wedding, we joked that the theme was, "Lord of the Rings Christmas Special." Shane is a huge Tolkein nerd, and we both love Renaissance faires and fantasy. Our wedding was in December, his favorite color is red, and mine is green, so throwing Christmas in just made sense. It came together beautifully.
A Winter Solstice wedding with an herb bouquet
With icy shades of silver and white, dotted with greenery, this gorgeous desert Winter Solstice wedding in Arizona was eco-friendly, full of the scents of fresh herbs, and delicious in its tea bar and gorgeous white cake. Plus, it was on the night of the Ursid's meteor shower!
