I did what any newlywed would do on this occasion: I went to Zurchers (party store), looking for medieval party supplies. The girl that was helping me thought I was a bit weird, but she was polite. I found a plastic breastplate, shield, helmet, and sword (and yes, I squealed with delight with each item I found. That place is AWESOME!).
I then I got some mutton from a local deli (OKAY IT WASN'T REALLY MUTTON, it was just lamb kabobs from a Greek restaurant). Also, I couldn't find any stores that carried Meade, so we settled for goblets of Dr. Pepper. And apparently, there were no wenches for hire to serve us our feast, which is what I think would have made it feel really authentic.
Sloan was a good sport and put on the armor, even though he had NO idea what was going on, and I brought him into the kitchen for our dinner.
And here's my knight in shining armor enjoying his pseudo medieval meal (aka, being a good sport):
Love you, you manly man.
Love you, you manly man.
Does sloan know he married a "special" girl?
ReplyDeletehaaaaaha. i love this. and i love the plates!
ReplyDeletecool BUT, there is something a lot closer to mead than Dr. Pepper. There's quite a few things actually (many of which are only sold by the state in Utah). Also, I think there ARE wenches for hire. Craigslist (at least until recently) had a whole section of them. ;)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! That is really cute. Question: Was the princess crown for Sloan to wear with his armor? By the way, I love the tablecloth and plates. I have a cool plate that I got in Mexico that has a similar design to your tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha loved the story, and the pictures make it that much better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dinner...and that tablecloth!! You have impeccable taste!
ReplyDeleteLOL that's hilarious!
