The Childlike Empress....

I've always loved The Never Ending Story.

it was one of my favourite movies growing up

and consequently the book is one that i can

re-read again and again

and always feel inspired.

I loved The Childlike Empress

as a child I thought she was the most enchanting

beautiful person ever.

The fact that she was around my age also 

made her more relatable to my childlike fantasies.

So my wedding headdress was a little bit of a 

Childlike Empress throwback.

Although it turns out

my husband has no idea who The Childlike Empress

and all he knows about The Never Ending Story

is the 8o's theme tune.

This of course had to be rectified....

He thought the movie was ok,

a bit weird....

but he guessed he would have probably liked 

it as a kid.

We also had to watch Willow...

as it is awesome and he'd never even heard of it.

I discovered that nor does he really know who Peter Pan

is either (a fairy boy in green tights?)

This i think will be sorted out at some point too.

To be fair,

this weekend we had to watch Top Gun

to rectify me having never seen this movie...

a movie he can quote word for word,

he had to watch it gagged.
