I got married last June in a fairly traditional wedding (not themed, though my dress was pale blue instead of white) and I have to say that I cannot imagine the planning logistics of a themed wedding like one of these, especially if you had attendants to outfit as well. But had I but world enough and time, I wouldn't have minded an Eowyn-and-Faramir style wedding (their ceremony was fairly simple, though, wasn't it?) I don't think it detracts from the wedding itself - I've been to several SCA weddings, and while everyone was costumed (we all have our own costumes, the bride and groom didn't need to outfit anybody except themselves) it was a big part of their lives and as expressive of them as a regular wedding would have been.
