My husband and I agreed to participate in a renaissance wedding for two very good friends. So far we are out a minor fortune for costumes and accessories (like our own metal plates, cups, mugs etc….) and since we do not "do" renaissance faires, it’s truly becoming a huge drain on our resources. Yesterday the bride called and said she had a dream about a sword arch as the newlywed couple walked down the aisle and decided to go with it. I’m now supposed to buy two King Solomon 31.5-inch Gold Sword with Scabbard for .00 each plus S&H.
I have two questions, do women really participate in sword arches? The sword really doesn’t go with my gown. And how do you tell an eager bride her ideas are becoming a little "too much" and yet remain friends.
I don’t want to ruin a friendship over .00 or so in swords.

I’m in ninth grade and I’m going to the renaissance festival. I’ve made a costume but it would be very nice to have a sword to go with it. I’m thinking about ordering one but I’m not sure if there is an age limit on carrying weapons. Is there? I wouldn’t carry it to be cool or anything but it would add to my costume. I would go to the Minnesota festival. I’ve heard that the area makes a difference.
Oops i kinda screwed that up. . .

My good friend AC (name altered to protect his guilt) has been going through some marital problems and other personal tragedies lately. When he mentioned that a woman from his office was going to have a wild Halloween party, and he did not plan on attending, I was shocked.
He said there would be lots of single ladies there, it would be awkward, and he did not have a costume and he only had 1 day to prepare.
I told him he could borrow my medieval Renaissance fair costume and go as a nobleman. I had the whole outfit ready to go minus the sword.
He is not as in shape as me, and the tights were a bit snug. Since he is endowed "challenged" I suggested he stop at the grocery store to strategicaly place a carrot or small cucumber down the front to get a little more attention from the female guests.
Well I guess he only took half my advice. It appears that he must have stopped at the 7-11 and grapped a couple of those 24 hour rottisserie hot dogs because there is a stain on my pants the exact size of a beef weiner.
He also returned the clothes folded in a way it was all hidden and left them on my front porch.
Suggestions on what to use to get the stain out?
Specks– you must never get to go to really, really, good parties
I just went to my first renaissance faire and I’m hooked. I want to go to next year’s faire decked out in period garb. I want to go as sort of a "mercenary/badass" kinda guy. Y’know, the black leather body armor, sword, studs, etc. I started off by buying a pair of really cool bracers. That’s my starting point. I’ll build the rest of the costume around them. I have painfully thin legs so I’d rather not opt for tights or a kilt.
