I know there are several among the Offbeat Empire who are super into swords. I also know that quite a few of you aren't that enthused about having a first dance. Tamsyn and Jamie felt the same way. Instead of learning to tango, they went old-school Hollywood and choreographed a first sword fight!

Now Tamsyn used to fence internationally, but I can appreciate that some of you might not have épée lying around. Never fear! Thoroughly entertain your guests (and don't be afraid of, you know, actually hitting each other) with foam swords! Bonus points for scripted medieval dialogue or a few well-timed, pirate-y ARRRs!

And if you have a couple spare lightsabers just lying around... well. I can't think of any better use for them than your first sword fight as a happily married couple.
