Shrek Wedding – Happy Ever Ogre
By admin on Apr 25, 2009 in Wedding Funny Business
These sort of stories are what our blog was made for, wedding ideas, making your wedding day a little more fun, and what could be more fun then a Shrek Wedding ? Er…. what?
Yes It’s true, Once upon a time in a far far away land (Devon)… a fairytale dream wedding for the happy couple who decided to get married dressed as movie cartoon characters Shrek and Princess Fiona.
Every little girl’s dream wedding day is to arrive like a princess and be swept off her feet by the handsome prince, hospice nurse Christine England, 40, had part of that dream come true – sort of.
The bride was every inch the princess, the one from the ogre films anyway. Dressed as Princess Fiona, Christine married her fiance Keith GREEN (you couldn’t make this stuff up could you) – who was is full Shrek costume, complete with bald head and pointy green ears, for their wedding day.
The 100 wedding guests also got into the Shrek theme and turned up to celebrate the marriage in full fancy dress attire.
The new Mr & Mrs Green (1st April has passed hasn’t it ?) from Barnstaple in Devon, spent around three hours with their make up artists to achieve the shrek style look before walking down the aisle.
Christine said: ‘The idea just came to me. I knew what we would go as because Keith looks just like Shrek. (charming comment from the lady you’ve just married)
‘It was funny because when we said our vows Keith had these green ears sprouting from the top of his head.’
Wanting to take the whole Shrek themed wedding a little further, Christine tried to get her 18-year-old son to dress up as Donkey, the sidekick of Shrek from the movies, but said ‘he wasn’t having any of it’.
You can imagine the conversation can’t you, “Son, fancy dressing up as a donkey for my wedding day?” – “No thanks Mum, don’t be so ridiculous please”.
Keith Green, a builder who seems quite happy with the ogre title from his new wife added: ‘It was a very strange experience to say the least, but a thoroughly enjoyable one. We love the films and my wife tells me I bear a resemblance to Shrek.’
Christine’s mother Annette England, 66, said: ‘It’s not necessarily how you imagine seeing your daughter get married but it was great fun.’
Where you at the Shrek wedding ? Have you been to a wedding that was wackier then the shrek wedding day ? Leave us your comments below.
Why…. ? Why spoil your special day by dressing up as Shrek ? I’m sure it was fun, but this is a wedding, not a fancy dress party.
