According to an exclusive report from TMZ, a bridal boutique is selling a replica of the wedding dress Bella wore in Twilight Breaking Dawn, and, in perhaps the least surprising turn of events of all time, rabid Twilight fans are showing up at the stores and faking engagements to try the dress on. I imagine the hardest part is finding enough cats to fill out a men’s business suit. “Why yes, this is my fiancee, Mr., uh… Fluffykins.”

The $799 replica is being sold in Alfred Angelo bridal boutiques everywhere — and people who work at the chain tell us the scheming fans are driving them crazy, making it extremely difficult to conduct business. [TMZ]

So you’re saying this bridal boutique I’ve never heard of is selling a product people are absolutely going crazy for, AND you have an exclusive source close to the story??? How serendipitous! Nuts. Those lucky skunks at TMZ catch all the breaks. (*kicks can*)

As you can see from this previous, dorktastically elaborate re-enactment of Superman II, the new coolest thing is work a popular movie into your wedding or proposal.  The only drawback is part where you have to actually get married (yuckzers!).  Not to be outdone, Google engineer Corey Goldfeder, which isn’t a nerdy name at all, planned an elaborate, Back to the Future-themed proposal. (*gets down on one knee*) Will you block quote me, Ultimate Proposal Contest?

Andrea and I met at a costume party. She was dressed in a 1950′s poodle skirt, and I came as Marty McFly from “Back to the Future”, so it was clearly a match made in heaven.

I took Andrea to a showing of “Back to the Future,” which was being presented as part of a Michael J. Fox retrospective at a film festival in a historic local theater. We had planned this date for months had tickets long in advance, which was unnecessary since the film festival didn’t actually exist.

In reality, I had rented out the theater, and the movie showing was to be the scene of a surprise proposal. The manager was a bit of a romantic, and he was happy to help with supporting details like adding “Back to the Future” to the theater’s marquee and getting someone to man the popcorn machine. About 20 friends and acquaintances of mine that Andrea didn’t know came to sit in the theater so that it wouldn’t look suspiciously empty.

Keith Green, 44, and Christine England, 40, recently hired a professional make-up artist to help them walk down the aisle as Shrek and Fiona.  Wait, two Brits dressed like Shrek were named Green and England?  (*ironic coincidence prolapse*)

Green his bride were covered in green paint and full costume and wigs and married in front of 100 guests also dressed as characters from the film, including the Donkey and the Gingerbread Man.

The new Mrs Green, a hospice nurse, of Barnstaple, Devon [this town name is a joke, right? Like Dicknipple, Iowa or Moosejaw, Sasketchawan?], said: “The idea just came to me. I knew what we would go as them because Keith looks just like Shrek. I tried to convince my teenage son to dress up as the Donkey but he wasn’t having any of it.”

Mr Green, a builder, said: “It was a very strange experience to say the least, but a thoroughly enjoyable one. We love the films and my wife tells me I have resemblance to Shrek.” [Telegraph]

The wife seems to be the only one into this idea, while the husband is just trying to get used to shrugging and not having an opinion.  “Hmm, so you’re saying I look like a big, green ogre… thanks?  Do we still get to bone later?”  I’ll agree, he is vaguely ogrish, but he’s nothing compared to Ultimate fighter Krzysztof Soszynski. Krzysztof is number one in the world at looking like Shrek.
