										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you know, <a href="http://b3ta.com/questions/nerds/post127469">I got married dressed as Darth Vader</a>.<br><br>While we were on honeymoon, Liz and I were hounded by the paparazzi.  Well, they rang while I was lounging by the pool.<br><br>The Newbury Weekly News were invited to the wedding and made us a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080318144538/http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article.aspx?articleID=6122">spectacular wedding video</a>.</p>

<p>First to offer us untold riches for our tale were <a href="http://www.fullhousemagazine.co.uk/">Full House Magazine</a>.<br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edent/2413507665/sizes/l/" title="Full House by terenceeden, on Flickr"></a></p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edent/2413507665/sizes/l/" title="Full House by terenceeden, on Flickr">

<p>A few weeks ago, we sold out story to <a href="http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/">Now Magazine</a> for their Celebrity Wedding issue.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edent/2786465682/sizes/l/" title="Now Celebrity Weddings by terenceeden, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3169/2786465682_f912143e48_o.png" alt="Now Celebrity Weddings"></a>

<p>It's quite interesting to read the difference between the two articles.  Liz gave basically the same interview to both.  Full House seem to think that <a href="http://www.uea.ac.uk/">UEA</a> is a college and that we both have an IQ of 17.  Now Magazine was much more receptive to the concept of our wedding - feminism, Oxfam, fun - and I think the article is better for it.</p>

<p>Even now, 7 months after the wedding, I still get emails from people who've spotted our story on various newspapers and forums.  Our story was picked up in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080211135655/http://www.gdo.ro/Magazin/2008-02-07/S-a+casatorit+imbracat+ca+Darth+Vader">Romania</a>!</p>
