Rustic Barn Wedding with a Final Fantasy Twist: A Gamer’s Dream

Share

Bride and groom embrace with vibrant flower bouquet

This beautifully rustic barn wedding appears to be just that at first glance, but wait was that a Final Fantasy cake?! Yes, yes it is indeed.
Sharon and Jesse’s love for video games is only trumped by their love for one another, so when it came time to say “I do” it was only natural to include that shared passion. This beautiful sunset gamer wedding day was captured by Whittaker Portraits, and you can see every last detail up close by visiting the full gallery here.

RPG Wedding Elements

The video game elements of the day were subtle: classy gold Legend of Zelda Triforce cufflinks, game location table names, & Sharon walked down the aisle to a beautiful orchestra version of the Zelda theme song. The sunset colors came through beautifully in the flowers: pretty deep pinks, yellows, oranges, and purples. And the barn setting was the perfect rustic touch!

Nerd-vana Wedding Cake

At the end of the night, they cut the Final Fantasy themed cake with a sword replica from that video game. Sharon and Jesse were in a (tasteful) nerd heaven all day and they wouldn’t have it any other way!
