Meredith Fahey and her husband Joshua Votaw always knew they wanted a book-themed wedding. So when their first-choice venue — a library — fell through, they opted to host their wedding day at their favorite restaurant in Los Angeles.
梅雷迪斯·費(fèi)伊和她的丈夫約書(shū)亞·沃陶一直都知道，他們想要一場(chǎng)以圖書(shū)為主題的婚禮。當(dāng)他們?cè)趫D書(shū)館舉行婚禮的首選未能實(shí)現(xiàn)時(shí)，他們選擇了在自己最喜歡的一家洛杉磯餐廳里舉行婚禮。
It happens to be reminiscent of Hogwarts, not to mention it’s within their budget.
碰巧這家餐廳是霍格沃茨懷舊風(fēng)。另外，在這里舉辦的婚禮花銷(xiāo)都在預(yù)算可控范圍之內(nèi)。
“We are both huge Harry Potter fans. We have enjoyed many midnight screenings of the movies together, as well as reading them out loud to each other, one of our favorite activities,” Meredith told BuzzFeed.
“我們都是《哈利波特》超級(jí)粉絲。我們經(jīng)常晚上看《哈利波特》系列電影，還會(huì)為對(duì)方有聲朗讀原著小說(shuō)，這是我們最喜歡的活動(dòng)之一。”梅雷迪斯告訴BuzzFeed記者。
The couple met several years ago through a dating website, and one of their first conversations was about Lost.
這對(duì)夫妻是幾年前在相親網(wǎng)站上認(rèn)識(shí)的，初期聊天的話(huà)題之一就是有關(guān)美劇《迷失》的。
“We have always enjoyed sharing our geeky loves together, whether it be television or movies,” Meredith said. “Our first date was at Griffith Observatory, which is where he ended up proposing to me.”
“我們總是喜歡一起分享我們的熒屏愛(ài)好，從電視劇到電影。”梅雷迪斯說(shuō)道，“我們初期約會(huì)有一次是在格瑞菲斯天文臺(tái)，就是在那里他向我求婚的。”
Meredith and Joshua spent hours and hours discussing how they wanted every detail to be laid out and what parts of the Harry Potter series they wanted to incorporate.
此前，梅雷迪斯和約書(shū)亞花了大量時(shí)間討論婚禮安排，事無(wú)巨細(xì)；他們還討論了在婚禮中包含哪些哈利波特的元素。
“Our vision was that it would be a wedding that could take place within the Harry Potter universe, which we think added to the classic look, helping us stay clear of the cheesy factor,” Meredith said.
“我們的想法是這樣的，婚禮的整個(gè)流程應(yīng)該就像真的發(fā)生在哈利波特魔法世界中一樣。我們覺(jué)得這樣可以為餐廳的復(fù)古風(fēng)增色，同時(shí)讓我們不那么俗套。” 梅雷迪斯女士說(shuō)道。
Family and friends also helped with the programs, banners, and other accessories.
親朋好友也都來(lái)幫忙籌備婚禮，幫助統(tǒng)籌節(jié)目、制作條幅以及其他裝飾。
The bride said she even did a great deal herself, including needle-felting characters like Dobby and Norbert.
新娘說(shuō)她甚至自己動(dòng)手做了一些超贊的手工，包括毛織玩偶多比和諾伯特等角色。
She also did the calligraphy on the place cards.
她還在坐席卡上模仿哈利波特字體寫(xiě)下賓客的名字。
All of the elaborate-looking details in this Harry Potter-themed wedding actually cost the bride and groom the least amount of money.
這場(chǎng)哈利波特主題婚禮上的所有精致細(xì)節(jié)，并沒(méi)有很大開(kāi)銷(xiāo)，這對(duì)新人用最經(jīng)濟(jì)的方式籌備了所有環(huán)節(jié)。
One of Meredith’s favorite minor wedding details was the “Monster Book of Monsters Guestbook,” which her cousins surprised her with.
梅雷迪斯很喜歡的一個(gè)婚禮小細(xì)節(jié)就是“妖怪們的妖怪書(shū)”，這是表親送給她的驚喜。
Having a Snape character officiate was Meredith’s favorite major detail.
“斯內(nèi)普教授” 擔(dān)任婚禮主持，這是梅雷迪斯最喜歡的重要細(xì)節(jié)。
“Our friend is a pyrotechnician and was able to coordinate the Goblet of Fire actually exploding when we put our names in it,” Meredith said. “The guests were quite surprised.”
“我們有個(gè)朋友是一名火焰技師，他能在我們剛好把名字放進(jìn)‘火焰杯’ 時(shí)讓杯子燃燒起來(lái)，”梅雷迪斯說(shuō)道，“客人們當(dāng)時(shí)非常驚訝。”
Aside from a couple of confused older relatives, all of the guests loved the Harry Potter theme.
除了一些年紀(jì)比較大的賓客面露困惑表情之外，其余所有客人都很喜歡這個(gè)哈利波特的主題。
The most important detail from their Harry Potter wedding was the series’ overarching emphasis on love.
哈利波特主題婚禮最重要的細(xì)節(jié)，就是對(duì)“愛(ài)”的反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)。
“The [Wizarding] World is so encompassing, you can get lost in it, and each new reading brings more insight into the characters and world.”
“魔法世界簡(jiǎn)直是包羅萬(wàn)象，置身其中你可能會(huì)迷惑；但是每次重新閱讀都讓我更加理解其中的人物角色和魔法世界。”
