U.K. Couple Channels SHREK for their Wedding

By:

Newlyweds Tracey and VivIan Williams celebrated their May 10 wedding by dressing up as their favorite couple, Shrek and Princess Fiona. The Welsch couple painted their faces and bodies completely GREEN, in addition to fake ears and homemade SHREK costumes. Tracey and Vivian added the SHREK touch to the rest of the wedding party. The bride's parents dressed up as Lord Farquaad and Fairy Godmother, while the best man portrayed Monsieur Hood.

According to People.com, the couple's first date was one of the SHREK movies. “Even though Shrek and Fiona are both green ogres, we didn’t take it offensively because we like them so much," Tracey told Britain's Daily Mail. "We watched the films, became addicted and when we decided to get married we both knew how we wanted the wedding to be,” Vivian added. "The whole family absolutely loved it. It looked amazing."

An entirely new musical, SHREK THE MUSICAL is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the Dreamworks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series. The latest Shrek movie, 'The Final Chapter' is set for release on May 21.

SHREK THE MUSICAL tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren't only found in fairy tales. The production opened at The Broadway Theatre On December 14, 2008. The First National Tour of SHREK THE MUSICAL will begin July 13 in Chicago.
