This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
I've lurked off and on in the past, but signed up today in order to share this.
I especially love the pink/white dress.

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
Hey, welcome to the forums (in a posting capacity)!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of combining Portal and Utena as a theme, but everything they show of the wedding does look pretty awesome!
I especially like the rosy pink Companion Cube cake. However, I'm pretty sure it's a lie.

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
Not only awesome, but absolutely beautiful! Oh, the jealousy. Maybe someday I can ensnare myself a mate and dress him up like Miki or Ruka for a ceremony...

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
I think that was awesome! The portal cake was cool too, but SKU theme takes the cake (PUN!). Their dresses were gorgeous, but I think it would've been cool if the one as Utena had her uniform from the movie, but all decked out in White and Gold and Lace. And maybe just a solid white rose bride dress(how appropriate.)

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
Wow. Woooow! 
That's so cool! *freaks out*
I'm usually very apathetic about weddings and marriage, but I would LOVE to get married to someone who would be the Anthy to my Utena (or vice versa, as the case might be). Walking down the isle to the tune of The Sunlit Garden? Absolutely amazing!
The couple looks quite happy, good for them! This is equal parts awesome and touching; thanks for the heads up, SkywardShadow.
I'm a fan of pessimism: if you maintain the lowest expectations possible, they'll always be met or exceeded.

Thats so creative! I just wish some of the pictures were bigger, the bridemaids dresses looked interesting too.

Its an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be in San Francisco-Oscar Wilde.
Anyone get the feeling finding Utena is going to be a lot like where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

Awwwww! 
I wanna have a wedding like that, except with maybe my groom dressed as Miki or Ruka (I'm a sucker for boys in blue ♥).

I have actually seen a wedding dress that could pass for a white Rose Bride dress. I have no idea who the designer was, but I saw it at a small bridal shop in Louisiana 8 or 9 years ago.
It had epaulets, I kid you not.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
Those cake toppers are too cute.
...I feel giggly expecting the rings to be the duelist ones. After all... But what's engraved in the band makes up for that.

Same taste much? Finally, someone who doesn't fawn over Akio! (No offense, anyone. 
) Srsly I should feel absolutely filthy for thinking that supposedly-12 year-old Miki is hot, but I blame the animators.

Yeah, same with Touga and Saionji, for me anyways. They're all extremely hot, but Kindness and Sexiness > Just Sexiness. IMHO.

IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THE WEDDING ABOVE IS THE BEST WEDDING OF ALL TIME!
But on that rose bride dress, I think if it was white with gold or sliver it'd be gorgeous. If I had my life savings on me, I'd buy it right away.

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
I've seen those pictures on the wedding, they look really beautiful from their dresses. They look really awesome. I love the cake and the scene under the trees, it is a really romantic place for a wedding.

Re: Utena and Portal themed lesbian wedding
That is so freakishly adorable. 
I love how they blended Utena, Portal, and wedding elegance, and made it so original and personal. They look so cute together too!
Traditional weddings are boring.. geeky weddings are the best!
Edit: Is there any way to see the pictures full-size?

That is so cool! If I ever get married, I am totally going to have a Utena themed wedding. It will include the bizarre-colored roses.

The only way it could be more awesome is if they included Flamboyant Lavendar Duelist from the musical.
