Somebody should cosplay as Setsuna F. Seiei and attempt to marry the Gundam.

And then somebody cosplaying as Amuro Ray calls the Gundam a slut.

Just in case the mere concept of a 1:1 articulate Gundam statue wasn't ridiculous enough.

THAT would be a very interesting honneymoon.... Im assuming that all the 00 Gundams are girls because in my 00 figres, there is a hole for you to place the peg of the stand, as my Wing ones do not.

That's neat but is it really the best business model? I'm inclined to think that people who both would get married in front of a giant gundam and will actually be able to find a wife are in short supply. Wink

I find there to be a little flaw in this offering: I've always found Zeon uniforms to be smarter than their Earth Federation equivalents. It'd practically be required of the groom to wear the latter for a ceremony like this, but had a full-scale Zaku been the highlight instead, he'd be able to opt for the more stylish UC attire.

I was going to interject and say that people get married at Disneyland, too, but then I realized that it's kind of a big difference, since most Disney works are about achieving your dreams and living happily ever after, whereas Gundam is... not. Though "I'll love you forever, EVEN AFTER YOU PERISH IN A BLAZE OF GLORY DEEP IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE!!" is pretty romantic too...

That's a constant theme in most Japanese art, beauty and sadness.
Now if they could have the reception there as well, it would be a perfect wedding, but then there would be some drunken tw@ who would climb up on it and fall off, ruining the whole thing.

The thing I don't get is: Who in their right minds would be able to plan and act on a wedding in like, 2 months?

Would people go and like, cancel their wedding reception reservations someplace else and switch to this? Because otherwise, unless it's like "Honey, I know we've been dating for like 10 years, but now that we can get married in front of a gundam lets finally tie the knot!" people out there I'm not sure how one could do this practically.

Actually, wait... there's a fancy hotel right near the statue on odaiba with a wedding reception area... maybe it'd be in conjunction with that.

And the groom should include my favorite line from CCA in his vows: spoiler["She was supposed to be my mother!"]
