Geek weddings...

[yubsie]

So, somewhere along the line, our wedding reception has acquired a theme. I'm still a little fuzzy on how this happened, exactly, but it did. So while the ceremony itself will be quite traditional (Catholic church and all :p), the reception?

Endor Celebration. :P

I think it all started with me deciding that "Yub Nub" made more sense as the father/daughter song than any of the traditional tear jerkers. My sister is getting all excited about the idea of making treehouse centrepieces. :p And SOMEHOW we are going to have an Ewok cake topper. :p So yeah, the geek factor of the reception just increased SUBSTANTIALLY. :p

How awesome is that? VERY

[yubsie]

They've hung a lot of things from the ceiling in the hall, but I think this will be the first case of X-Wing sillhouettes. :p

That is ... SO COOL. :D

[yubsie]

Now I need to figure out how to pull off a stormtrooper helmet xylophone. :p

[krystalblaze.livejournal.com]

That is the greatest thing I've ever heard of! Totally it rocks.

[yubsie]

This is what happens when geeks marry. :p

So awesome!

[yubsie]

I thought you would approve. :p

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

I do!

As long as this has no effect on bridesmaid attire that is XD

[yubsie]

Seeing as the ceremony is still traditional. :p

[helplessdancer.livejournal.com]

That is so incredibly cool I don't think there are words to describe it. ^_^

[yubsie]

I'm not sure how it happened, but I LIKE IT. :D

[yubsie]

It's terribly exciting. :p

Holy fierfek :p

I'm making sure Liza never sees your LJ now, based on this :p

[yubsie]

Why? :p

[lestack.livejournal.com]

I have problems enough with wedding receptions, let alone ones with little furry bastards running around everywhere :p

Too many people to start with, followed by too many xenos :p

I think the cake topper should be Han Solo roasting on the sit.

*snerk*

That sounds awesome!

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

It goes without saying that you must post pictures.

Yay for Aida music! I heart it muchly.

[yubsie]

Well, of course. :p

Aida is made of so much awesome.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Although it sounds like Heather Headley forgot there's a comma in between "Princess" and "Radames" during the spoken bits of Written In The Stars. It comes out "Marry the Princess Radames." I keep waiting for him to be all. "Um...her name is AMENERIS. *I* am Radames."

[yubsie]

It really, REALLY does. :p WHich is SPECIAL. :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

I love that song, but I twitch every time I hear that line.

And I also giggle that during the How I know you duet between Aida and whatshisname.(Mereb?) Because the song is essentially Aida going "I am no one. I am a slave. Just a slave. That's the only way I'm going to not get killed." And Mereb is running around going "PRINCESS! PRINCESS! WE'VE GOT A PRINCESS HERE!"

Or at least that's how it goes in my mind. As I have never seen the play live, I don't really know the exact scene that scene takes place, and I've mentally decided that it's in the middle of the street. Which makes it funny.

[yubsie]

I assumed it was in the dark of night in the slave quarters. BUt I like your version better. :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Just from the context, I'd assume that it's somewhere fairly secretive.

But since it's never stated, I can go with my version, which includes Mereb prancing around the marketplace with signs declaring "Aida is the princess! Take a look! Get your genuine Nubian princess autograph signs right here!"

Because funny is good, and that play doesn't have any funny bits unless you either count "My Strongest Suit" as a funny bit, or you put them in there yourself.

Same goes for Phantom of the Opera. No funny bits. At least Wicked has funny bits.

[yubsie]

Apples and melons and pears.
Oh my!

Now Mereb is becoming that guy who had the cow fetus in the jar. :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Teehee. Is his name actually Mereb? I know it starts with an M, but I can't remember what it actually is.

[yubsie]

I just checked, it is Mereb. I was thinking Malak for a while, but then I realized that's actually the catman who sells food in Quest for Glory V. :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Eh, I didn't really care for him as a character, so I forgot his name. It takes me awhile to remember the names of people that I don't like. Unless I flat out hate them. Then I remember them very easily.

[yubsie]

Because you have to curse at them :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Exactly! How can I be all "Darn you, whatshisface!"

[yubsie]

It just doesn't have the same effect, does it? :p

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Not at all.
