A fairy tale style wedding: Shrek wedding

Shrek wedding

After Shrek rescued Fiona from his castle, she assumed he was her true love. However, when she saw his ogre-like appearance, her disappointment and frustration set in. During the return journey, the two fell in love until, one night, Fiona showed her true face: she became the very thing she rejected… an ogre.

In the end, Shrek and Fiona end up getting married, making the movie one of the most famous love stories in the movie world. For this reason, some fans and couples have dared to use the story of these ogres as the main theme of their wedding.

Shrek and Fiona Wedding

Inspired by the wedding between Shrek and Fiona, several couples around the world have decided to celebrate their own wedding with this theme. The bride and groom usually dress up as the main characters, while the guests must dress up as some other character from the kingdom of “Far Far Away”.

The music of the celebration starts with the famous song “I want to be a hero”, accompanied by other songs from the franchise created by DreamWorks. In addition, the decoration is related to medieval times, since this story, like most fairy tales, is set in this kingdom.

Shrek themed wedding

Choosing a Shrek-themed wedding may seem a bit strange, however, there is the story of Heidi Coxshall, who together with her husband Paul Bellas celebrated their wedding inspired by this famous movie. The couple was inspired by their 4-year-old son, who loved to watch this story on his DVD, and one day Heidi suggested the idea of having a small Shrek-themed ceremony.

“The message of Shrek is that no matter how you look, it’s all about love,” was the phrase that both followed to change their usual image and be, for a day, the protagonists of the movie Shrek. The guests accepted the idea, dressed up as other characters and, in the end, the fun was not lacking.

Shrek’s outfit at the wedding with Fiona is the classic outfit he usually wears on a daily basis. A white jacket, accompanied by a short vest, a belt and a brown lycra. A very traditional costume of the era to which the film refers, not very elegant for a wedding, but perfect for an ogre.
