Title: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 06, 2013, 03:47:38 AM
Ohayo fellow fanime goers! Not sure where this post should go....

So...I modeled for a Bridal Photoshoot, and they were so awesome to give me a very expensive wedding dress.

I have no idea what to do with it...so I figured....why not get (pretend) married at Fanime?? Little kids in the movies do it all the time! I want to be cute too!!! LOL

But hold up, who should the groom be? We should make it into a challenge! Let's brainstorm.

Maybe a scavenger hunt? Whoever finds me first? Collects all the items to make the magic ring? Guess my favorite number? Popularity contest?

As you can probably tell....I have no idea hahahaha

Also, I encourage other couples to also get anime married at Fanime  ;D

It would be awesome!

I suppose suitors would like to know what I look like also? I'll let you keep guessing for now (some of you who staff at fanime might already know). If this idea actually picks up, I'll post my pics/put my Facebook up. Don't expect too much!!!! I'm just a human being (sadly). But I promise to make a pretty bride, if not then at least a funny one LOL

<3,

NancyJade

Nancy. Lol.

But really that's a cute idea. Arrange for a wide open area, preferably. Best bet will be on the lower concourse where registration used to be or any of the large unused corners of the exhibit halls. Remember to keep away from any stairs or doors, try not to block traffic and Rovers shouldn't bother you.

Oh yeah I forgot to say all brides and grooms are welcomed, I can swing both ways ::wink wink::

lol

Maybe we should have like a "Let's all get married to each other thing" lol

Alrighty seems like we've gotten a maid of honor and a bride for the bride!!! :)

Look for me at Fanime.

LOL sorry, it's one of my pageant crowns so I'm not allowed to lend it out, although I've had the pleasure of crowning other beautiful ladies :)

Making FB page now. And pllleeasssseee! I am sure everyone here is super gorgeous, yes that means you too guys!!! haha

And don't worry, I have no make up skills (I rarely wear make up), so I will prolly end up looking like the girl from the Ring with my overly long hair...BOOO!!!!!!

Hey lovelies :)

Those who already joined the FB event, AWESOME!

I just wanted to update here that I choose Sunday of Fanime for this because that's when the Black and White Ball will be, so we can be all fancy for that! LOL It's going to be at 6pm...so I'm not sure when a good time to get married would be? Let's decide.

i suggest 4 pm randomly. 0-0
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 22, 2013, 08:28:44 PM
i think we're going for 5pm so that after pictures and what not people can head over to the Black and White Ball....but still thinking!
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: princesskitty18 on April 22, 2013, 09:01:46 PM
as a staffer for black and white ball
i suggest making it earlier
ball starts at 6 and from previous knowledge of being part of staff as well as being a participant of black and white ball, ppl start lining up early
so i also suggest 4
:)
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 22, 2013, 10:38:44 PM
You know that's what I was thinking too, but coming a little bit late never hurt. From my experience, people wait in the line, come in, and then leave.

The thing is girls like to look fresh and a couple hours in their make-up and hair might already start to go, and that's on top of however long they plan to be at the ball.

But, yeah. 4pm is probably a good time. I'm just going to aim for 4-5pm.

Great idea.  Why not make it at 6:00? That way we can do what we need to do and the just head on over to the ball. I really don't want to wait inline that much and I always like to be fashionably late. Also you can count me in as a modestly dressed groom if its not taken yet ;)
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 23, 2013, 02:32:20 AM
Ah what to do now, should we just make it between 4-6pm? But that would prolly mean fluxes of people ::rolls:: LOL should we stick to 5 and let it go on to 6pm and then head over to the ball?

As of now...there's no no groom yet...but lol girls like to be difficult so there seems to be some kind of confirmation with bridemaids on the day of to qualify....bc you know...we're crazy like that :D
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: echoshadow on April 23, 2013, 02:39:57 AM
 Well just how many people do think are going to show up? And how long will it take to take pics and the general meet up?

I guess 5-6:00 could work, and yes I know how crazy bride maids can be.

Remember to join the Fb event if you haven't already. I have no idea who's who haha

Um....I'm expecting like 15...for now....but I am determined to promote this to the max at fanime with the promise of (undisclosed content). LOL jk. In general I think people being already dressed up for the Ball would be interested in taking pics and just having fun with this whole marriage thing. Also, I am also contemplating the idea of mercilessly harassing one of the announcers to make an announcement for us (by harass I mean ask nicely).
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!

LOL makes me wonder what such undesclosed content might be? As long as theres not a huge flash mob I'm ok.

Just remember the total number of people that say that are showing up, expect half that number to actually show up.

Well quick question. Tie or Bow tie? I never could deside on which.

I'll have to say I'm a maybe with this meet up since I'm only planning on attending Saturday. Though I'm going to the 21+ meet and greet and would be happy to chat it up with any of you :)

But I'll keep checking in to see the updates!

Well a lot of people go with a tie because a bow tie may look childish, but if you like how you look then it's going to look great regardless. I regularly switch between my ties and bow ties.

Signed up on the fb page yesterday. Its like the first time I used fb this year, still haven't updated my profile pic, and other stuff.

Are you working as staff, or like real job working?
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 24, 2013, 08:59:22 AM
Both?

I'm staffing, which is like a real job. But I'm also seeing patients at Stanford.
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: echoshadow on April 25, 2013, 04:28:06 AM
Oh? Staffing pays you money? I thought it just waved the badge fee and the rest was from the goodness of your heart.
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 25, 2013, 06:07:55 AM
Staffers are different than volunteers (but yes we don't get paid). For volunteers, you buy your own badge, wait in the never-ending line for your badge ( I hate lines....), get a volunteer sticker, work however many hours, and your badge gets waived.

Staff have a different set of badges and lanyard. I like it because you get to be involved in the coordinating work and what not, while volunteers tend to just be the door people or get the more mundane jobs. I happy I was invited to join staff.

Besides the coordinating work, and oddly getting my picture taken even though I'm not cosplaying, I don't actually do much else at Fanime. No that's a lie. I always end up buying random stuff I don't need lol. But they're so adorable! That and I'm an insomniac so it gives me something to do in the middle of the night.

I'm a human/vampire hybrid. Whee!
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: echoshadow on April 25, 2013, 06:48:40 AM
Ah......I see...so its not a job...since you don't paid ;)
High five for a fellow insomniac, ever see the times I post? And thanks for staffing, because other wise I would had to do it  8)

So as not to completly de-rail the orginal topic...what should we do for the mock wedding? Random poses, group shots, arson, causing a roit, etc.. you know typical kind of stuff.
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 25, 2013, 07:15:22 AM
LOL

Um...Well it's quite unorganized being that it's a bit last minute and I'm too busy to put in more concrete detail.

Sooooo...I am going to go with we're just posing like we're crazy ppl. Hahaha

I was hoping to do like a fun challenge thing, like mmorpg where you collect things or what not to complete a mission...buuutttt that seems unlikely now. Therefore, it will have to resort to a free for all/kidnapping of those who catch your eye as marriage material. Well...that escalated quickly hahah.

So yeah just pics for now, pair offs for couples also. Some sort of line up to look like a wedding, and then just group pics. Gotta hunt down them photographers! I'm also going to scout out someone cool to be the marriage celebrant. It's a shame we don't have more people for this.

I'm so ready to go around telling everyone I'm an escaped bride :D Push some guy off his motorcycle and escape!!!!!

Oh man, if I had an Arashi and could find a Caroline and George it would be such an awesome Paradise Kiss wedding! Bleh



Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: echoshadow on April 29, 2013, 12:15:11 AM
As long as said kidnappings are voluntary it should be fine....I think, don't quote me on that.
If I recall the ending of Paradise Kiss was not a happy one, Caroline and George never got together..well they did but..not at the end. Oh yeah I forgot to say "spoiler alert."

Anyways what ever happens it would be a nice way to kill some time till the b&w ball. Well at lest for me anyway.

Ah!!! Ok this is my 3rd time typing this. The forum is refusing to let me post.

Shorter/less happy version of what I previously wrote:

-SPOILER ALERT- In the Paradise Kiss movie, Caroline and George end up together a little ways down from where the original storyline ends. Reunited via Caroline breaking into George's NY apt. The unsatisfied little girl in me from reading the manga and watching the anime loved it. I know the manga/anime's version is more mature and depicts how everyone grows up and moves on, but the girl in me was like Yes!
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!

:o
....and fyi I'm not much of a manga fan....ok I don't read manga, well I did read one 2 years ago. I'm more of an anime connoisseur.

again not to completely de-rail the thread again...  would there be any more people in a wedding gown?
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 29, 2013, 02:13:46 AM
I haven't really read manga since high school....I'm more of a classics literature....or just a books with lots of word person.

I have no idea what people will be wearing, so I'l leave other members to answer that one.

Mainstream manga can be found at bookstores like Barnes N Noble. Or online. Or Forums

Wearing atcon? Whatever happens-happens. During this particular meetup? I'm assuming something wedding/formal-like...
Title: Re: Let's get married at Fanime!
Post by: NancyJade on April 29, 2013, 03:08:46 AM
Yes, I'm quite aware of where to obtain manga if need be, mainstream or not as I tend to spend a lot of time in bookstores (or online). It's not a matter of finding it, it's just that I prefer novels over graphic novels. Not quite sure why you posted that, but thank you regardless.

And, as has been mentioned, it's a meet up right before the B&W ball, so it's implied that it'll range from formal to semi-formal according to whatever people are already wearing for the ball.

I'll just give you my guess at the stats: probably not many people will be in a wedding gowns. So far, I'm going to say only one. But I wouldn't be surprised by white dresses and an array of knee length cocktail dresses. I imagine those in military outfit cosplays or butler ones will continue to wear those for the ball, if not then dress pants, dress shirt, dress shoes, and tie/bow-tie. Pushing more semi-formal would be slacks, a button up shirt, maybe a tie, and a pair of nice shoes.

Meet ups are for fun. Don't need to over think anything. We'll still love you even if you show up in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, although they prolly will not let you into the ball...LOL

In related news I just got done with my fitting for my tux. Seems like I gained a half inch on my waist. :( but could be water weight as steemstress kindly put it.

Still not sure if the bow tie is going to work out. Got to find nice shiny shoes. I can't remember the last time I had to buy dress shoes....oh wait, it was 4 years ago. This time I'll keep in mind to look for a shoe that can be easy to dance with...and that has a steel toe. ;) them newbies like to stomp.

Lol nice. My dance partner is traveling Europe right now, but even if he was in Cali he prolly wouldn't go with me haha. Well, we actually haven't competed for god knows how long, but I still consider him my partner :) We could almost be twins because we were born in the same hospital a few hours apart....except I'm short and he's a 6'2 athletic monster @_@

So, I think we should meet infront of the Convention center since it'll be easy to spot

Sounds like he's not interested in (dancing with) you anymore :p

The meet up location is fine, I guess if its too cold outside we could just go right inside. Hopfully the weather would be nice and warm.

Yea...that must explain why he's sent me an e-mail everyday that he's been gone, and calls at least 5 days a week on a normal bases. Besties!!

But no, it's just because he's not fond of Fanime. That, and the first (and last) Fanime Ball we went to, he was so horrified at what he saw that we left right away. He's a merciless critic.

We still go to the Viennese Ball every year though with other dance couples. I absolutely love that Ball, and feel so happy that I was invited to organize something so amazing.

You make it sound like he's more of a problem than anything else. Oh wells sucks to be him?

Viennese Ball sounds intersting, never heard of it till you mentioned it. I'll have to check it out next year. That is if nothing else is planed.

Well, it's a Stanford Ball, so typical only Stanford students and staff attend, as well as dance competitors.

But, if anything feel free to check it out if you're into social dance/ballroom.

It's $65 for the general public.

Oh, and I love Rin very, very much. He just has incredibly high standards, which makes flaws jarringly obvious. But in return, everything he's done is perfect, or at least near perfect...like his cooking. I like the competition :) He'll never land a plane as smoothly as I do tho!!! Muahahaha

Getting back to topic, hopefully everyone has joined the Facebook page:

Discussions and announcements will all be happening on that page. Occasionally, I will repost new information in this thread.

I say we do it! We'll have even more planning time too! The booth is a must, it'd be awesome and probably popular.

Well, I did respond on facebook on your post before the b&w ball but you or anyone never did respond back. So I didnt bother to put my suit on an hour early just to stand in the front of the convetion hoping to run into some bride and looking like some fool.

As far as the whole Fanime well it was 50% good 50% sucked !!@#$
As always I did enjoy the ball, too bad for all thoes poor girls that got turn away due to the shoe police.

Back on topic... so this basically will be a kissing booth but getting married instead of kissing? Where would this booth be located? I don't know how many people showed up this year(i couldn't go), but if there's not alot- then there's no point in requesting a panel room. If there was enough people, you could have people walk down the aisle that goes down the panel room and have a mini wedding in front of the stage or something.

We're gonna need to promote this whole project big time if we want people to know about it.

Post by: NancyJade on May 30, 2013, 04:57:36 AM
Meow I don't think we ever said anything about requesting a panel room as panels tend to be in speaker and audience form. But that does sound awfully cute, if we were to dedicate all the time and money for decorations and what not. We did mention a booth, and booth locations are configured by Con, not by selection. It's kind of tricky as it seems to be something that may fit in better in the Artist Alley than in Dealer's Hall, and perhaps maybe better in the walkway through Con hahaha. Meow maybe the Gaming Hall, bring some romance to that room!

::rolls:: I'm purely motivated by fun and spontaneity, but I know that might not be everyone's style. For reference: I was the head coordinator of a Ren Faire, had about 1000 attendee, and 80% of attendees paid for the marriage booth (some several times, some to numerous people at once lol). It's a quirky idea. Yes, like a kissing booth. Kind of reminds me of lemonade stands from my childhood ^_^

With Fanime, there are more people, which may mean more interested parties, however bc Fanime is bigger, there's also more attractions. A marriage booth can get lost in the background if location is poor T_T

But who can not notice wedding music, bells, white fluffiness, and happiness, even in a dark corner? LOL

Meow for those fellow Forever Alone-ians, you guys can opt for the stand-in bride. And just to be fair I'll rope in a dashing groom also.

Oh man....what are we doing?

I guess I'm the only that understood what you ment...
You want a simple photo booth, kind of the old black and white wild west/1920's found at state fairs.
That kind of booth does need to have it's proper place.

Sounds like a fun idea, but if you have the clothing for it. Other wise it wouldn't work out too well. I dont think anyone would want to stand there all day as a stand-in bride or groom for thoes lone dudes/gals.

Oh the thing that made me laugh hard was the sudden interest as soon as you posted your pic. LOL

LOL I'm sure there's nothing special about my pic to garner interest.

The stand-in idea is a bit sketchy isn't it? But! I do already have the dress, and it would be more like a few hours and not an entire day. And honestly.....cosplay outfits are so much more awesome then wedding attire!!! I want to marry a Gundam! Or...any hot female characters.....hehehehe

::rolls::Well FanimeCon 2014 is still quite some time away. Maybe next yr we'll all get to see each other, for reals this time! Meow Meow Meow!
