My fiance and I are geeks. But we're not going to have a horribly decorated ceremony and reception with spaceship favours and little medieval statues everywhere. Since our wedding is going to be small, though, we want to keep the atmosphere light and fun-loving.
We were recently discussing the "speech on marriage" that will open the ceremony once my dad hands me off. We both agreed we would love to open with the speech from The Princess Bride: "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us here togethaw today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam..."
And so on. We'd add a bit more, but this "outtake" wouldn't be more than a minute or two worth of laughter for our friends and family. HOWEVER, we'd like to keep it a secret from all but our friend who agreed to oversee the ceremony. (We'd be excluding it from rehersal dinner.)
My only fear is that my mother would kill me. That side of the family is less... geeky that then rest of us. Should we care? Or have fun?
