This Harry Potter Wedding Was Pure Magic

ADVERTISEMENT

Rumor has it that there are more Harry Potter fans on earth than there are stars in our solar system. But few of them can claim to be bigger fans of the world famous heptalogy than newlyweds Cassie and Lewis Byrom.

To celebrate their mutual adoration for J.K. Rowling’s most famous series, the Potterheads decided to throw a Harry Potter-themed wedding unlike any you’ve ever seen before. The wedding took more than a year to plan and the couple used Ebay and charity shops to ensure that every single detail was faithful to the books. Each of the 130 guests received a wand upon arrival and the bridesmaids carried paper bouquets made from 20 cut-up novels. The rings were presented on a copy of the Half Blood Prince and were both inscribed ‘Always’ in homage to Severus Snape. They even had their faces printed on wanted posters from the Ministry of Magic! Sorry Potter fans, but this one’s going to take some beating!

    Why would you tear up books though, that upsets me :(

    That was my reaction too - how could someone do that to books that they supposedly love so much? I cringe when one of my pages bends for a fraction of a second, let alone rip it on purpose o.o

    I'm making my bouquets out of book pages as well (not a specific book theme though) so I picked up some cheap Harlequin romance novels at a thrift store to tear apart because they're the only books I could stand to destroy ;) I'd never do it with anything worth reading!
