On a wedding planning site I co-own, we put together "Wedding Signatures" based on color schemes, themes, holidays, etc. Some of my favorites are based on literature and I was hoping to pick your brains for suggestions.

What books had fabulous wedding scenes... or maybe not-so-fabulous scenes that would be funny? What books have a distinctive feel or setting that might lend itself to a unique wedding or a fun bachelor/bachelorette party? We've used everything from fairy tales to Shakespeare to Harry Potter to The Great Gatsby to Twilight so far. Movies, TV shows and anything else that springs to mind are also welcome.

Thanks in advance! :)



(This may not be the right place for this thread-- my apologies to the mods if that's the case...)

You must have a few medieval themes. Not that I'm knowledgable in that at all, but I love it.

The town of Carcasonne, France and maybe The Three Muskateers?

And I'd love something Italian based on Commedia dell'arte.


Oh, I could go all day giving settings, but the books I read tend to be bizarre or unhappy. That's harder!

PS - Prague. Just sayin' ;)

Brillig in the slithy toves...
I saw pictures of a wedding once that was based on Dr. Zhivago (silver and white like snow filling the rooms when a storm hit).
