Theme/Costume Weddings

[HYPERION'S NOTE: This is Ajax's first post. Huzzahs all around]



Anyone ever been to one of these? The sort of thing where the wedding party (and by extension) everyone invited is expected to costume in some way? I went to one once that was actually on Halloween as a 1930s-era gangster, complete with wing-tip shoes, pinstripe suit, fedora, and a violin case (regretably holding only my martini kit, rather than an authentic Thompson machine gun, because there was only room for one or the other). So technically, no theme except to come in some sort of costume. (Best costume at the wedding? There was a guy dressed as a fork. And one girl just happened to have a shiny black latex bodysuit in her closet, plus heels, and a lot of plastic guns who came as Trinity from the Matrix).

However, a friend of mine is talking about having a full theme wedding, right down the the time period (Elizabethian England, I think), and as luck would have it, it appears I may actually be in the wedding party. So I'm thinking a Captain Jack Sparrow costume. Not only would it be period-correct, but I could also go armed, and three sheets to the wind (ha! nautical pun!) all day long and not break character.
