Meet the Cullens, who brought "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" into their wedding day
March 19, 2012
Meet the Cullens, Abigail and Andy from Bournemouth, United Kingdom.
This lovely young couple married on February 5, and to celebrate their affinity for The Twilight Saga, incorporated several themes from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1's wedding, including changing their names.
Yes, Abby and Andy formally changed their surnames to Cullen by deed poll after celebrating a lush Breaking Dawn-themed wedding (the couple wanted to share their marital last name, but Abby wasn't particularly fond of his former surname).
Abby wore a traditional wedding dress for the nuptial ceremony itself but quickly changed into a Breaking Dawn - Part 1 replica gown, as seen on "Bella" (Kristen Stewart) in the film. She also added the prop hair slide and styled her hair similarly to the Breaking Dawn bride. Andy, meanwhile, donned a very traditional tuxedo with tails, much like the one worn by "Edward" (Robert Pattinson) throughout the whole night.
The couple brought Twilight into their special evening in many other pertinent ways as well.
Starting with music, Abby walked down the aisle to the instrumental version of Sleeping At Last's "Turning Page," and then the couple chose the vocal track for their first dance song. "Bella's Lullaby" was played during their exit from the ceremony, and the entire Breaking Dawn - Part 1 album served as background music for their dinner. Oh, and Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Wedding Version)" played during their first kiss as a married couple (as was done in the movie).
The Cullens also chose color schemes, floral arrangements, the bridal bouquet, and her wedding cake shape in consideration of both the Breaking Dawn - Part 1 wedding and the Twilight Saga books. Andy's best man even used a Twilight pun in his speech, saying "Here's to Bella and Edward." Abby maintains he added the quip in very effectively.
The new Mrs. Cullen says that her husband is "very tolerant, bless him" for being such a good sport about it all. Indeed.
