The all-mime wedding. Everybody in mime outfits. They have to walk against the wind down the aisle. And of course, the Pastor, Bride and Groom have to mime all their lines. [miming] “I now pronouce you Mime and Wife. You may take the bride out of the invisible box.” You could have a “Let’s Make A Deal” wedding. The pastor playing Monty Hall could ask the groom if he wants what’s behind the door or what Jay has in the box. The entire crowd would be dressed in wacky costumes. ---

[QUOTE=pprgrl] Zombie wedding! The makeup would be fun, no one would embarrass themselves by dancing badly at the reception (because everyone would be lurching), and the vows would be simple, but very moving. I now pronounce you BRAAIIINS! You may now kiss the BRAAAAIINS! And of course, the catering would take care of itself. Or better yet, have a zombie ninja pirate robot wedding. A little something for everyone there. [/QUOTE] Aaactually, I know a couple who DID have a zombie wedding. The entire wedding party and some of the guests took part in the annual Zombie Walk in Vancouver dressed in full zombie gear, and just slipped away when the walk passed by the venue they’d rented out for the ceremony itself… sort of like an extended walk.. errr… stagger down the aisle, if you will. Best. Wedding. EVER. ---

How about an Alfred Hitchcock wedding? The groom could wear blue pj’s, a leg cast, and carry a telescope and the bride could wear a blonde wig with the bridesmaids covered in various birds and the groomsmen all in dresses with grey wigs and fake carving knives. ---

Guyana theme. Presided over by the Reverend Jim Jones. Watch out for the grape kool-aid at the reception though, it’s a killer. ---

The porn movie wedding. Have the bride dressed up in the classic schoolgirl uniform with pigtails, the groom dressed as the plumber, maid of honor as a dominatrix, best man as a slave. Have the wedding performed by a swimming pool. What a stirring moment as the bride processes to the sound of a bass guitar. Bow WOW chikka boom boom wah. ---

_BUMP_ Two words… “Furry Wedding” Okay, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Also, [QUOTE=MagicEyes] I think an insect-themed wedding would be the best! [/QUOTE] I first read that as “incest-themed”. ---

[QUOTE=Brown Eyed Girl] Not MLP, but [scroll down a ways](http://beautydiary.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html) for a purrfect Hello Kitty bridesmaid dress. 😃 [/QUOTE] Actually, I would have more fun wearing that than most fugly bridesmaid dresses. It’s so tacky it’s cute. ---

[QUOTE=Celyn] A “Wizard of Oz” wedding. [/QUOTE] There was a couple hoping to have their wedding at the local church here (where my wife and daughter sing in the choir) - they wanted a Wizard of Oz theme, which might have worked - _Follow the Yellow Brick Road_ for the trip up or down the aisle, _Over the Rainbow_ could have worked somewhere… …But one of the songs they wanted was _Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead_ - the curate said no and stood his ground - so they went elsewhere to get married. ---

Some people I know had a nudist wedding. The photos were surprisingly discrete. Raggedy Anne and Andy wedding - eh, probably been done. Splosh wedding (The things I’ve learned about from SDMB)! The whole wedding party in edible outfits. ---

[QUOTE=Sunrazor] American Idol theme! The bride and groom can sing their vows to each other and the in-laws can critique their singing. And anything else they care to. And the bride’s mom can sneak off for a quickie with one of the groomsmen … oh, wait, I went to that wedding last summer. Never mind. [/QUOTE] No, how about a “The Bacherlor”-themed wedding? ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] How 'bout a Princess Bride wedding? [/QUOTE] My sister got married last month. Most of it was very traditional, but the bridesmaids came down the aisle to Storybook Love. She had a man playing the guitar and singing it, and I thought it was really very sweet. (Though she did jokingly suggest having a theme wedding based on the movie!) ---
