This couple chose an unusual twist on a fairytale wedding theme: They got married ‘Shrek’ style. Groom Keith, 44, and bride Christine, 40, are residents of Barnstaple, Devon and are huge fans of the Dreamworks SKG flick. The pair dressed as Shrek and Princess Fiona for their wedding, and their 100 guests similarly followed suit and donned various fairytale costumes.
Here’s what tt.mop.com had to say about the unusual ‘Shrek’ themed wedding:
“The idea just came to me,” says Christina. “I knew what we would go as because Keith looks just like Shrek.” Christina also got her 18-year-old son to dress up as Donkey, another character from the film.
