Wedding Blog

Mr. Tomato and I attended such a fun wedding last weekend and I couldn’t wait to post about it! It was creative and borderline cheesy–which doesn’t work for everyone, but really portrayed the newlyweds’ personalities.

The ceremonial music started with the traditional “Air” piece by Bach. Then it smoothly transitioned into the groomsmen processional–Raiders March from Indiana Jones! It was hilarious but well done.

The officiant was witty, and the marriage vows were both touching and entertaining. The groom started off by saying that wedding vows made him think of “a-e-i-o-u: VOWels” (haha) and proceeded to explain what each letter meant (”a” meant “always”, for “I will always love you”).

When he finished, someone strapped a guitar onto the bride, and she started singing her vows to her groom. Unfortunately I don’t remember the words, but she wrote the song herself, and during one stanza, sang that her parents were probably ashamed but he (the groom) has always taught her it’s okay to be cheesy and laugh at herself. Aww.

They exchanged rings, and paraded back down the aisle as husband and wife. The music? The Star Wars Theme!

The reception consisted of a “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego” game except they changed it to “Where in the World is Cindy and Chris” with a prize in the end. There was also karaoke and dancing. Now I’ve never known karaoke to work well at a wedding except this one–everyone got so into it! The groomsmen serenaded the couple with a boy band song and the crowd roared in applause. At the end of the night, even Mr. Tomato whispered to me that this wedding was unusually fun.

Happy Marriage, Cindy and Chris! I wish you both much cheesy happiness in the future.
