brain wrapping paper
by sven at 7:00 am
My brother and his partner just got married. It was zombie-themed wedding. ...I know it's April Fool's day -- but folks, I'm not making this up!
What do zombies love most? BRAINS! It seemed a moral imperative to me that we do this right... So I hand-painted brain wrapping paper and brought it on the plane with me to Tucson.
Our wedding gift to Shield & Aiyana: A set of dishes that say "i love you more than zombies love brains."
Gretchin gets credit for the amazing find. What's more, Meredith, the maker of these dishes has quit making them because she's in grad school now -- Gretchin convinced her to make an exception for our special occasion! Better yet, Aiyana already knew about these things... She'd wanted to get the dishes herself -- but had been sorely disappointed to discover they weren't being sold anymore.
Things worked out great!
Here's the box of dishes, all wrapped up to look like a cubical brain.
And did Shield and Aiyana have the standard bride and groom atop their cake? HA! Of course they saw to that detail. :)

What great dishes! And wrapping paper too. If they were careful unwrapping their gifts, I can see those brains framed up and hanging on the wall. I'm sure it's a wedding people will talk about for a long time to come.

We were indeed careful removing the paper, though it's a bit large to frame and slightly shorter than a door, so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with it just yet.

i can see it's the size of one of our folding tables; perhaps it will make a good buffet tablecloth...
