Pasta Pirate Weddings

This Bizarre Wedding Theme Blends the Seven Seas with Spaghetti

— September 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
If you have already been hard at work planning what you think is a totally unique and bizarre wedding theme centered around pirates and pasta, unfortunately there's another couple who has beat you to it. The wedding of Aaron and Ola took place on the streets of Poland and truly stuck to the unusual theme.

The bride carried a bouquet make of uncooked pasta, members of the wedding party wielding wooden spoons and other cooking utensils in their belts rather than weapons, and in addition to sporting pirate hats and costumes, the couple also posed in pasta pot hats for a few photos. Naturally, instead of cake, the couple served pasta. All of the decor and outfits were picked up for cheap from flea markets from their exotic world travels to locations like Transylvania and Morocco, as well as thrift shops. One of the most bizarre parts of the wedding is how much it cost—Ola describes, "We spent about €20 on the whole day!"
