Bizarre Avatar-themed weddings take place in China
By Jeff MillsDecember 8th, 2010, 11:16 amComments (15)A young girl dreams of that magical day when she will join her husband in holy matrimony — surrounded by friends, family, and perhaps a couple of Na'vi "extras" hired for the occasion. At least, if you happen to tie the knot in Wulingyuan, a scenic area in Hunan Province, China.
The region's 3,100 ft. tall quartzite sandstone pillars served as inspiration for the "floating mountains" of Pandora in the movie Avatar. And after Avatar became bigger than Jesus and John Lennon combined, forestry officials went into full exploitation mode and began offering "Pandora Tours," as well as Pandora-themed weddings.
So what's the verdict on these theme weddings?
According to one bride, Xiao Tsao, who was married in a multi-couple joint service, "The Na'vi were a couple of forestry workers dressed up in long underwear dyed blue wearing some very unconvincing masks. It was really pathetic."
So much for that magical day. And it seemed like it had such potential, what with those Klingon weddings being passe and all.

Themed weddings are both strange and wonderful to me. But this goes too far, mostly because it's not a great movie. I think a Revolutionary Road themed wedding would be better.
I don't know about a Revolutionary Road-themed wedding. What would that look like, bloody fetuses hanging as a mental patient wanders around? Maybe a Tron: Legacy wedding would work, I don't know.
Blue it would seem is the new white
That is so lame.
How about a "The Road"-themed wedding
I plan to have my wedding themed after the movie "Caligula"
I can't wait for the Beiber themed weddings to start!
My themed wedding would be... Happy Feet!
A Rachel Getting Married themed wedding. Done.
I attended one of these when I was there last month! I found it a little bit confusing and random at first...however when the bridesmaids and best men had to dress up like Na'vi and fight off soldiers in robot-mecha costumes so the wedding could continue, I got pretty into it! Nothing makes a wedding more entertaining than a paintball fight between people dressed like aliens and robots.
Too many fails to mention in that photo.
oh my goodness those poor girls have their special day ruined. i remeber mine like yesterday;
I've just watch this movie at https://www.freemoviesonlinelist.com/
