More Pictures Of The Webmaster's Wedding

Here is a close up shot of my accessories. The photographer was on hand taking picture while I got dressed, and this is one of the first pictures she took. We organized my headpiece, bracelet, torc, and bouquet on top of my train (the bag was used for "emergency supplies").

Both my headpiece and my bracelets were made by friends. The raven torc was ordered from The Mystic Caravan. My jewelry was copper, bronze, silver with red accents. The center stone on the headpiece is a tiger's eye which I picked up at a Rock & Gem Show. The bouquet was designed by a friend of mine. I'll be uploading her watercolors as soon as I dig them out of the wedding scrapbook to scan them,

These are the boots I wore with the dress. When I decided on a red velvet dress, I was determined to wear big, clunky black boots underneath it. However, my mother dangled these in front of me like a carrot, and they're what I eventually settled on.

The boots came from Nordstrom.com, but seem to be discontinued.

My husband's garb for our wedding day is one part Henry VIII, and one part Samurai. We were wearing so much fabric it was as if we BOTH had trains. His outfit is in two pieces -the top in bronze, the bottom in copper. His belt and his bracers are part of his standard Renaissance Faire garb, and were made by the Eeldrytch Armouree.

There aren't any decent pictures of them, but my husband also wore really nice black leather boots. We got his from SCA Boots.com.

My favorite bit about my husband's garb on our wedding day is that all that fabric meant he was safe to wear black sweatpants. Between the tabard and the boots, all anyone could see was an inch of fabric above his knees. I know several people may be horrified by this, but let me tell you two things. 1) He was comfortable. 2) We saved money by not having to buy yet another article of clothing.

Finding a wedding band with a dragon on it was EASY. Finding a wedding band with a snake on it is a little harder. I love dragons, and was willing to settle on a dragon -but I really wanted a wedding ring that was an ouroborous. I searched the internet, and got quotes with INSANELY high prices from local crafts people for weeks until I found what I was looking for. Bearclaw Jewelry had a silver ouroborous ring, and was willing to make a similar ring in gold. The design is different, but the prices were AMAZING, and working with them was a breeze.
