Fans of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones can take a few cues from super fans Kerry Ford and Darren Prew's fantasy wedding. The couple designed their perfect day to mimic the infamous characters and setting of Game of Thrones.
Online media streaming service BlinkBox helped Ford and Prew turn their wedding into a replica of the Game of Thrones world in honor of the show's fourth season. Ford and Prew, along with their wedding guests, spent over 50 hours being transformed by stylists and makeup artists into beloved characters from the hit fantasy show. Prew dressed up as the infamous brooding underdog Jon Snow and Ford dressed up as the Mother of Dragons. Other guests dressed up as a White Walker, Ygritte and Hodor. The wedding took place at a vintage castle reminiscent of King's Landing.
