Reception photos with more Kryptonian Koolness!!!!

Well some of you know I've been away for quite some time. Many things have happened. One of which was I got re-married. My wife is an incredible woman, especially when it came to our wedding. The theme we picked was KRYPTONIAN (not Superman). We incorporated many elements from comic and film. The style became known as "Geek-Shiek". Geek enough for the fans to get it, but not over the top that it scared the straights. We got married on 10-10-10.

Here's a peek into the wedding. I'll have more fully detailed pics later.

I have just scratched out the definition of "cool" in my dictionary and replaced it with your name. :D
 
Re: Sneak Peek: My Kryptonian Wedding

Wow. Thank you FJ. :cool

This whole wedding has been a labor of love to prepare for. We were racking our brains trying to come up with a theme that would reflect us. We both come from divorces and our daughters are the same age, 9.

When we thought of the kryotonian theme we wanted to make it cool but not over the top. The first thing we thought was a logo to use throughout the wedding. So I came up with this, our new family crest:

So whenever this symbol appeared, it was clear that it was from our family dubed "The House of Val"

Then the ideas just started pouring out from the announcements and invites to the wedding altar and reception. Everything was very carefully planned and designed with a specific purpose.

Using the crest as a background element was borrowed from DC Comics promotional material. Here's what the announcements look like:

MORE TO COME: Next posting, Invites and Location.

Invitations:
We wanted to go simple, minimal and elegant. Again the family crest is present as well as the Kryptonian text. Since the wedding colors are dark red and silver we thought this would be a great opportunity to have them printed with a metallic red foil stamping. The paper was chosen to reflect the crystal/glacier feel of Krypton

The location for this event definately had to match the theme. We didn't know what to do. But...one of my groomsmen suggested a location for us and when we saw the pictures we had to book it asap.

The San Jose City Hall Rotunda:

Absolutely BREATH-TAKING!!! How could we not have it there. Our wedding was in October and we were still able to book it in April for 10-10-10. We got more than lucky on that one.

Next up: THE WEDDING ALTAR!!!!!

The Wedding Ceremony and Altar:
Believe it or not my wife found this except from a comic panel depicting a Kryptonian wedding. We found several others similar to it. We joked around about how cool would it be to actualy make this "Jewel of Truth and Honor", then I looked at it and said "I think I can make this", her reply, "DO IT!!!":

So from there I came up with a concept of the alter combining the comic and elements from the Fortress of Solitude from the films:

Here is the end result. An 8-foot diameter Kryptonian Wedding Alter:
