    The Wedding at the End of the Universe

    After a long engagement, I tied the knot on Dec 21 with a tongue-in-cheek End of the World themed wedding. Because of out love for Douglas Adams, we titled it The Wedding at the End of the Universe (our officiant even wore a towel over his shoulder!) I'll post more pictures once the professional ones come in, but here's one from a guest's camera.



    The kilt is a PV Fraser Ancient Hunting by Peter MacHummel at Canadian Casual Kilts (which had some shipping issues and arrived the day before the wedding!)
    The red/black diced hose are from J. Higgins, the sporran is one I bought from be da veva with some added black tassels, and the jacket is a tuxedo jacket that I bought used from a local rental shop modified by a local seamstress. I also bought a piece of bog oak and a bottle opener from Rab Gordon and carved out a simple sgian brew, which came in handy as we brewed most of the beer for our wedding.



    Yes, that's a lightsaber on the ground behind us.

    Excellent! Congratulations to you both. I am really looking forward to seeing the other photos. I am a great fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide. Bravo!

    congratulations .... and I like that kilt and those hose ... and even though it's a bit dangerous leaving a light sabre hanging around on the floor, it was the 'end of the world' so live on the edge!

    Congratulations! That's a great picture of you and your lovely bride tripping the light fantastic.

    May the Great Green Arkleseizure bring you many years of happiness. There was no need for concern about the lightsaber. That particular model is mostly harmless. So long and thanks for all the pics. :-)
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I too was thinking of the coming of the Great White Handkerchief, but since you mentioned it I will say that I hope the second coming of the Great Prophet Zarquon was not too late for the reception!

    Congratulations on the wedding, may you have many years of happiness, and may you never find yourselves reading Vogon Poetry to each other.
