Alright, let’s talk about this “Harry Potter bride” thing, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folks do. But if you’re gonna have a weddin’, Harry Potter style, I guess we gotta figure out how to make it work, even if it sounds like a whole lotta hogwash to me.
First off, what in tarnation is a “Deathly Hallows-Inspired Arch”? Sounds spooky, like somethin’ you’d see at a graveyard, not a weddin’. But if you’re set on it, I guess you could get some wood, maybe some old branches, and make somethin’ that looks like… well, I don’t rightly know what. Just make sure it don’t fall down and conk somebody on the head durin’ the ceremony. That wouldn’t be too romantic, now would it? Safety first, I always say.
- Get some wood, sturdy wood mind you.
- Maybe some vines or flowers, if you’re feelin’ fancy.
- Make sure it’s stable, don’t want no accidents.
Now, this “Sorting Hat” thing. Sounds like a kid’s game to me. But if you wanna sort your presents instead of your guests, go right ahead. I guess you could put the socks in one pile, the pots and pans in another, and the… well, whatever else people give you at a weddin’. Just don’t expect me to understand it. Seems like a waste of time to me, but you young folks, you like your games.
And what’s all this talk about “blood traitors” and “half-bloods”? Sounds like somethin’ outta a horror movie. Love is love, I always say. Doesn’t matter if your grandma was a witch or a goblin or whatever. If you love the person, that’s all that matters. Don’t let nobody tell you otherwise. You hear me? Love is love, plain and simple. Don’t need none of that fancy talk to confuse things.
Now, about the weddin’ itself. You gotta have a preacher, or a judge, or somebody official-like to make it legal. And you gotta say your vows. “I do” is usually enough, but if you wanna say more, go ahead. Just speak from the heart, that’s all that matters. Don’t need no fancy words or poems. Just tell ’em you love ’em and you’ll stick by ’em through thick and thin, like glue to a stuck pig.
And the food! Don’t forget the food. Gotta have plenty of grub for everybody. Chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes, maybe some pie. Good, hearty food that’ll stick to your ribs. None of that fancy finger food that leaves you hungry an hour later. We need some real food at a wedding, something to keep those bellies full and happy. A full belly makes a happy heart, or so they say.
And music! You gotta have some music, somethin’ to dance to. Not that loud, screechy stuff the kids listen to these days. Some good old-fashioned music, somethin’ you can tap your feet to. Maybe a fiddle, maybe a banjo, maybe even an accordion if you’re feeling adventurous. Just something with a good beat that will get everyone up and moving.
And the dress! Well, I ain’t no expert on dresses, but I reckon it should be white, or maybe cream-colored. And it should be pretty, but not too fancy. Somethin’ you can move around in, dance in, and eat in without feelin’ like you’re gonna bust a seam. Comfort is key, especially on a long day like a wedding day.
So, there you have it. My advice on havin’ a “Harry Potter bride” weddin’. It might not be what them fancy folks in the city do, but it’ll be real, it’ll be heartfelt, and it’ll be a whole lot of fun. And in the end, that’s all that matters. Just remember, love is the most important thing. Everything else is just fluff. Love conquers all, even a grumpy old woman like me knows that.
And if you ask me, all these Harry Potter and what nots are just ways to spend more money. Back in my day we just went down to the courthouse or the church and had done with it. Then we went home and had cake, if’n we were lucky.
