FAQ - The Basics

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages:

We are proud to finally adorn our blog with some content!

-----------------------------------------


1. Just what is this thing?

This is a blog created by Kate and Randy to chronicle the events leading up to our wedding on September 15, 2012.  Once the wedding has happened, this blog will contain photos and video from the joyous day.

 2. Aren't all weddings pretty much the same?  Why would you need a blog for that?

Well, we aren't necessarily going "traditional".  Instead, we've decided to do a wedding with a Batman theme--more specifically, an Arkham Asylum/villains theme.  A couple of people we've told about this theme think it's pretty cool, so...yeah.  Blog.

3. So you'll be dressing in costumes?

Other theme weddings have involved costumes, and ours will, too.  But where other theme weddings used costumes as nothing more than window-dressing for an otherwise traditional event, we've decided to push the envelope.

We pride ourselves on being different--creative, inventive, and perhaps more than a little eccentric and/or crazy.  It’s simply who we are, both as a couple and as individuals.  So our theme wedding won't just involve costumes.  It’s going to involve a bit of performance art during the dinner course.

4. So this is like a play?

We prefer to think of it as an improvisational experience framed in a play structure.  The majority of the performance will be done tableside for the guests as a character works through his or her ten-to-fifteen minute interactive routine.  What sort of routine this is will depend upon the character, but each is sure to be memorable.  These performances will be placed between a scripted introduction and choreographed final confrontation with none other than the Dark Knight himself.

5. So, sort of like “Tony and Tina’s Wedding”, but with Batman villains?

Sure.

6. How long will this thing last?

The performance in total is likely to last an hour in total.  As it stands right now, each character will perform for three tables, but this will ultimately depend upon how many guests attend.

7. Where will you hold the ceremony and reception?

Both are being held at the Glidden House, a turn-of-the-century mansion in Cleveland, Ohio that’s been transformed into a hotel.  It has just the aesthetic we need to bring the atmosphere of Arkham Manor to our guests.

8. When can we expect this blog to update?

Sporadically.
