A Shrek Wedding?? Back In My Day, Us Nerds Got Married In Star Wars Costumes Holding Lightsabers AND THAT’S THE WAY WE LIKED IT!!!

A couple in England tied the knot this weekend with a Shrek-themed wedding, honoring the movie’s message to “be yourself” by dressing up in fairy tale costumes and pretending to be ogres:

Shrek 1

I’m not against people going all-out for something they’re passionate about, but I didn’t realize Shrek had such a bustling underground group of hardcore fans — they’re perfectly alright movies, but it’d be like doing a Bourne Identity themed wedding or a Meet The Parents wedding or just something generally likable that in no way deserves its own crazy subset of uber-fans.

Now if Boba Fett was marrying a female Wedge, then yes, by all means, I’d say proceed.

After the jump, three more pics of the adorable (if misguidedly-obsessed) couple:
