Video Game Inspired Offbeat Wedding at Eden Gardens in Moorpark, Ca | Blyth and Danny

Offbeat Wedding at Eden Gardens in Moorpark, Ca | Jennifer Lourie

I am absolutely in love with everything about Blyth and Danny’s beautiful, offbeat wedding at Eden Gardens in Moorpark, Ca. Blyth and Danny are definitely two individuals who beat to their own drum, and that drum just happens to be a very Nintendo colored one. Irish born Blyth dreamed of being a princess at her wedding, and with the picturesque Eden Gardens as their venue choice, and her Maggie Soterro gown, she achieved it. What sets her apart in her princess dreams, was it just happened to be Princess Zelda. Blyth and Danny have custom designed concept rings; Blyth's being in the shape of a "Heart Container" from The Legend of Zelda games, and Danny's being adorned with the tri-force. Their wedding cake was The Legend of Zelda themed as well, with light up 'rupees' made out of rock candy, the main unit of currency in the game, and the guests were served chocolate rupees as their wedding favor.

Tables were also decorated with golden coins in representation of Blyth's Irish heritage. They walked down the aisle to the theme song, and played the soundtrack during cocktail hour. Bouquets and boutonnieres of their mixed bridal party were adorned with Nintendo Amiibo's (figurines used in handheld Nintendo games), and the gentleman wore The Legend of Zelda tri-force socks. The eclectic nature of the wedding didn't stop there, but the two also had custom Disney bridal hats for their honeymoon the next day. Guests were informed they must learn 1984 "Footloose" dance before the wedding day, and a Footloose flash mob occurred mid-reception. The ceremony was conducted by Danny's parents, and true to form also included the necessary Princess Bride speech, as well as an Irish knot tying ceremony, and bubble sendoff. There is absolutely nothing about this wedding that I don’t love! It was such a dream watching these two get married.
