The venue that we are holding both the wedding and reception at is on a state park and the building is built entirely from reclaimed wood and limestone - and the cost of renting the venue goes to the upkeep of the park and educational programs.
I ended up compromising on this issue - our save-the dates will be relatively silly/nerdy, (in the style of a 1940s movie poster or comic book cover) while the invitations themselves will be classier, more traditional.

- About Me:
- I am a graduate student in Library and Information Science in Chicago. People always tell me that I'm an 80 year old man stuck in a 12 year old's body. My hobbies are all over the place, I have played saxophone professionally, taught martial arts, and made chainmail clothing/jewelry. I love to travel, my fiancée and I met in China and have traveled to Japan and France together as well.
- Share a couple of offbeat details from your wedding:
- I am getting married at a lodge built from reclaimed limestone and oak on a state park. The officiant will be my close friend/college adviser who was with my fiancée and I in China when we met. Our wedding will be flowerless, instead of bouquets the bridesmaids will be carrying books.
- What is one idea for your wedding you've been the most afraid to suggest to your fiance?
- I made her promise that I would be allowed to wear a sword at our wedding when we first started dating. . . and once we got engaged I was somewhat nervous to bring it up again.
- What one thing do you want to have at the wedding more than anything else?
- I want the groomsmen to be an imposing wall of suits and knives, to call on the original purpose of groomsmen - to prevent anyone from kidnapping the bride.
- What wedding tradition do you dislike most?
- All the games that guests play to force the couple to act out for their amusement. The glass-clinking-kissing games, encouraging the couple to smear cake on each other . . . I'd like my wedding to be classier than that.
