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.
Currently I have a costume/gift shop and having a hard time advertising. I have candles, renaissance and anime costumes, swords, and art but I need help getting people to get to my site. I ‘ve been to google and yahoo where else can I go?

Im 14 years of age and 5′5" and going to the faire for the first time. I don’t really want to wear a dress or anything inappropriate for my age group. Are there any fairly authentic costumes (im not overly worried about it) that use pants? I’d like a hunter or swords-women (I KNOW they didn’t do this back then) or something foresty. Less than 0 Us dollars is preferred. If you have any links or suggestions (I don’t have time to sew anything but I can buy stuff at a department store or Halloween shop) please list the. Your help is appreciated!
I am required to wear a costume to work on Halloween, but there are a LOT of restrictions. I work at a restaurant, so no blood is allowed. Also nothing sexual in nature (there are liable to be LOTS of kids there that night) and nothing with props (like swords, etc.) or anything that can get into food (like glitter). Anybody got any cheap but really cute ideas that would fit all those requirements?
