Harry Potter wedding reference

Nicole, on February 21, 2014 at 2:40 PM Posted in Planning 2 29

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I've loved the books since I was a kid, and always found them to have profound lessons about love, life, friendship, and good over evil. I wanted to find a way to incorporate a tiny part of them into the ceremony without it being childish or obvious. And I did it! For our ring exchange, we will say:

"I give you this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness, and as a constant reminder of the unbreakable vow we have made today."

For those who are not HP fans, and unbreakable vow is a spell that, if ever broken, would cause the offending party to perish. I thought it was a nice take on "'til death do us part."

    That's beautiful! Perfect subtle reference!

    I wish my FH liked to read there are so many little book things that I want to add to our wedding (I wanted to use old hard cover books, paint the front in chalkboard paint and use them as our place cards) but he just really isn't into reading. Smiley sad

    That's so perfect though because only the ones who know will know you know?! LOL

    LOVE! We're also "potter heads", as I call Harry Potter fans. I actually geeked out when I saw Harry Potter stamps last week on USPS.com and ordered them to use on our save the dates. I couldn't help myself. That's our wedding Potter touch! I wish we could serve butterbeer at our wedding! That stuff is super delicious!

    OMG, I love that! We are sneaking HP into our wedding details too. Last week I got our Always cake topper in the mail Smiley smile

    We are using one of the hard cover books to carry the rings instead of a pillow. I will add some nice ribbon and lace to it. And are numbering a table 9 3/4.

    ETA: The stamps weren't available yet when we sent out save the dates, but we are using them for our invites Smiley smile

    Love it! We have Harry Potter confetti (found on Etsy..not from my books!) that we'll have sprinkled on our tables too.

    Bragging time: I used to work for MuggleNet/The Leaky Cauldron (one of my BMs is actually someone from Belgium that I met at LeakyCon in 2011) and lookie what I have!

    As awesome as I think all the little references are, the one statement that made me LOL SO much was "POTHEADS UNITE!"

    We LOVE Harry Potter! We her up on it too and it's amazing. I have little touches of it in the wedding that only serious fans would even notice. Which makes them perfect.
