40k wedding tables.

[MARK0SIAN]

You could go with branches of the imperium instead. So you could have an administratum table and a Militarum one and so on.

This sounds like probably the right direction, lean into the pig latin naming of universe and try and find the terms which are most entertaining and least likely to be misconstrude.

[Trokair]

 

How many tables?

11 tables.

 

She is digging in her heels over this. I'm not really sure why but I'm not going to get into an argument over it.

 

I suppose I can pick planets that aren't called Armageddon or Krieg.

 

 

Is she secretly a fan and doesn’t want to admit it?

 

Maybe draw up a short list and see if she still likes the idea once she sees the names.

 

As for Planets, here is a handy list: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Planets_(List)

 

 

To go with the Primarch name/title suggestions from earlier I actually think titles/nicknames might be a way. Here is a list of some of them that I can see work, as an example.

Brightest One/Great Angel –head table ?

Wolf King/Great Wolf

The Gorgon

The Phoenician

Vulkan 

The Vigilant

Crimson King

The Lion

Lord of Iron

Aurelian

The Great Khan/Warhawk

Red Angel

Both of these ideas would be really cool (planets would be a close third for me). One thing to do as well just to make it interesting, (using the Primarchs as an example) is have a little sheet or display (A4 sizes is fine) on the table with a picture of said Primarch and a discription of their greatest achivements in the great crusade. 

Don't go into the fall of half of them, but keep them positive. That way you won't need to explain everything, and may give somebody something to talk about.

I gave her a list of planets and those primarch nicknames (and also a list of places we have gone on dates). She didn't care much about the nicknames but liked the list of planets- although Necromunda got instantly veto'd. Baal was also veto'd when I pointed out its the name of a demon. I had left off Krieg, Mordia,  Armageddon etc. I did say it seemed a bit weird where no one else will get the references and maybe we could go with the list of places we dated. She said she'd surprise me with one of the two- which I think means probably the 40k planets.

 

As it happens this is our second wedding- our first was small civil thing here in Ireland a few months ago (the tables were just numbered). This one is the church bit in Mexico where she is from. Most of my friends and family wont be making it over because of distance and expense. So most of the people there won't know me (or 40K)  too well and will only have a bit of English. Its going to be odd having tables called Valhalla and Terra, but it is growing on me. The Cod latin of some of the names does sound nice in Spanish she says. 

The only warhammer touch at our Irish wedding was that I had a Blood Bowl reroll counter in my wallet in case anything went wrong. It was terrible rain until an hour before the party which suddenly cleared up- so I guess I used it!

If your wife really wants this, I second the Legion numeral and color combination table.  The number/color combo is not totally bizarre from a normie POV and easily explainable when the inevitable questions come, as opposed to something more obtuse/in depth/something people will bust your chops about for the rest of your life, which you should avoid at a wedding.  

"I'm into a game where the teams have numbers and colors and my wife wanted to incorporate something important to me in the wedding." - Any person can understand this and will close the discussion

 

"Welcome to the wedding, you are sitting at table Armageddon." - Avoid This

 

"Welcome to the wedding, you are sitting at table Abaddon the Despoiler" - Avoid this also

[Cheex]

If you use Roman numerals, make sure you leave out II and XI.

[JeffJedi]

Ultramar

Ultima

Eternity Gate

LION'S Gate

Terra

Luna

Marcharia

 

I mean most 40k terms are bad things, lol.

[Aqui]

Congratulations! :)

 

May I suggest:

 

Ophelia VII

Terra

Macragge

Baal

Ferris

Tyran

Armaggedon

 

Et al :)

[Xenith]

You sure the best man isn't putting her up to this? 

 

But yea, good suggestions so far. 

 

Maybe Space Wolf names? These are kind of real worldish? Ragnar, Logan, Lukas, Bjorn, Fenris etc?

 

If the fiance doesnt really know 40k names, I guess you could just do other stuff also, and they'll never know?

 

Tyranid Hive Fleets might be cool, as they're all recognisable also?

 

Kraken, Behemoth, Leviathan, Jormungundr, Gorgon, then you can add in some other real world mythology beast names to blend the themes. 

[grailkeeper]

Getting married tomorrow.

 

We went with place names of places we went on dates.

 

My own nod to the hobby is I will have a Blood Bowl re-roll counter in my wallet in case anything goes wrong. I did the same at the civil bit. Maybe I should give it to her as her something borrowed. Edit: she said she'd take it and put it in the bouquet.

Sounds like it worked out! Have fun at the wedding and best of luck in the many happy years to come. 

[MARK0SIAN]

Have a great day tomorrow dude!

[Valkia the Bloody]

All the best!

[grailkeeper]

Thanks fraters. Read the Ghazkghkull book to steady the nerves whilst waiting. I gave the Mrs a blood bowl reroll token as her something borrowed. Having a few drinks in your (qnd mine) honour. I'm pretty nuln oiled.

[Mazer Rackham]

Gongratulations, good luck, and may amor vincit omnia.

That was probably the smartest move, your hobby and weddings shouldn't mix (if you fall out of whatever hobby your into, years later you would Cringe at what happened at your wedding  )

Congrats on getting through your second wedding (technically hers as it's in her homeland with all her family) 

I think her suggestion on including your hobby was a way of giving you something comfortable to you in a place where you felt nervous/unsure, i think it was quite sweet of her to offer that but also smart of her later to realise.... actually nope lets go with place /date names  .

 

May you have many happy years ahead of yourselves.... And remember "Happy Wife, Happy Life!"  (single guys will never understand that but married men do...)

Congratulations, my prayer is that you and your wife have a lifetime of joy together through the good and bad times.  

[Xenith]

Congratulations! Hopefully you neverneed that reroll token :D

[grailkeeper]

Thanks very much everyone.

 

A little bit embarrassed at posting here drunk. The next day I felt like I'd been kicked in the head by a horse.

 

Your messages all really mean a lot to me. The support here means a lot to me.

Not far away from my fifth wedding anniversary now, also married somebody from another culture. It's a challenge at times, but we are both the better for it. Best wishes to you both.

I wish we had the ability to do more like this on the board.  God's blessings to you and your wife grailkeeper.  

[Claws and Effect]

Massive congratulations!

 

I echo the sentiments of the others, to be honest, buddy. It’s awesome you have a partner who is so embracing of your hobby, but doesn’t sound like you would be super comfortable doing it. That said, if you wanna do it, go for it - it’s your wedding!

 

 

 

Congrats dude.

 

You could go for the numerical designations of the original Legions, maybe with their symbol. That way it will just look like Roman numerals to people not into 40K but will be a cool piece of 40K in your wedding. Bonus points if you leave the tables for the missing legions empty. :)

I love this idea!

I like this idea as well.

 

You could assign the guests you don't like that much to tables 2 and 11 and snicker into your sleeve.
