So, cat's out of the bag... I'm a total nerd and I love it! I dig Harry Potter marathons (both reading and watching), pretty much any Disney movie, GOT, and Star Wars. Recently I had a couple reach out to me about how to incorporate their love of the galactic empire into their wedding ceremony, so I thought that they might not be alone in that! I came up with a list of quotes, vow ideas, and ceremony closers that might help you with your ceremony if you also want sprinkle a little stardust in your script!
