    I love lunatics with a passion for odd things....

    This is GREAT... I LOVE this story....

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...wedding112.xml

    More power to them I say! Certainly the key to happiness is having an all consuming passion for something (like motorcycles I guess)...

    Many I bet that was a FUN wedding but what would you bring as a gift?

    Cheers

    Wow. Just like my wedding but on a grander scale.

    Excellent stuff.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Now that's a wedding. Good on them. Hope they don't get divorced.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Yeah - good on them. A day to remember.

    Musn't lose sight of the fact that the marriage is more important than the wedding though. I had a very small subdued wedding. Compact and bijou. But the marriage is great!

    Absolutely - we had a very small family do ourselves but the event not important - it's the sheer effort and madness of the whole thing - these folks are historical recreation nutters and living the dream... ya gotta love that...

    Bloody good on them, would have loved to have been a guest.

    Hmm. When my daughter was planning her wedding I suggested that perhaps the guys in the bridal party should go naked. 'Why dad?" she asked. I replied "Because then everyone will know who the 'best man' really is"

    I wonder what happened to the chastity belt. And who has the key..

    Sounds like they had a grand melee.

    I read someplace they were a myth anyway. Like a lot of that stuff it was more an invention of european middle class fascination with knights in shining armour and an age of chivaly that never was....
