Twilight wedding

I hesitate to post this link but somebody has to do it.
What with Youtube wedding raps and avatar-themed weddings, of course the marketing people had to write a piece about a vampire-themed wedding. Of course they did. (and ignore the part about Wuthering Heights and the 1800s...)

Is it me, or is this just too Disney for words: "Host your ceremony at sunset, so that your outdoor reception can start at dusk. This is to appease your vampire friends. Program your wedding date for a night that has a full moon to make reference to Bella’s werewolf friends. For your decor, be sure to include lots of twinkle lights... The Cullens love clean, light colors, and elegant touches like chandeliers so be sure to have plenty of lush white flowers for centerpieces and around your lighting. Place your flowers atop classic books from the 1800s such as Wuthering Heights (one of Bella’s favorites) or even on top of copies of the Twilight books (if you don’t mind the distractions they’ll provide to your female guests! Surround your flowery centerpieces with plenty of candles in diamond shaped holders and a crystal heart paperweight that resembles the charm that Edward gave Bella.

and here's their 'vow' idea

* "Before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars — points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

Is it a wedding, or a pre-teen pool party? You decide!
