Iowa Couple To Throw A Super Mario-Themed Wedding
Monday, May 23, 2011
These days, engaged couples are finding inspiration for their weddings everywhere. From television shows to books, there is an endless supply of sources they can draw from to achieve the perfect nuptials. One Iowa couple, however, went a different route, taking their cue from from Super Mario Brothers, a popular videogame from the 1980s, according to WHOTV in Des Moines.

"We both grew up doing Mario, playing the Mario games and just something for our generation, and we wanted to do something different," bride-to-be Bobbi VanZante told the news source.

The groom, Elijah Slagter, will be wearing the plumber's famous red overalls, while Bobbi will dress up as Princess Peach, who Mario saves from the turtle-like villain Bowser (played by Bobbi's father on the big day) countless times.

The couple has been crafting Super Mario-related wedding favors since December, including gold coins, green and red turtle shells and a miniature castle. The lovebirds told the news source that they decided to have their marital shindig based around the theme in order to save money.

Mario has appeared in more than 200 games since creation and is arguably the most famous character in videogame history.
