A real life PWI wedding

I am unsure whether or not i am in the right forum but i suppose as the forum description says: " Anything Pw related" it fits here.
Let me start off by saying that i feel this is moreso a question/request to Frankie but i suppose also a general question.
Me and my fiance met nearly 2 years ago on pwi and inbetween all the questing, hassle of TT running, bh's boss and mob killing, He proposed to me inside the game.
not just to get married in game but also in real life.
Now, 2 years later i am actually by his side and are making the preperations for our big day.
Alot of things speak for itself but the one thing we could not agree on was the cake and caketopping.
Then it dawned on me. Wouldn't it be epic to have our characters as a cake topping decoration!?
Now here's the actual question.
Frankie, is it possible to arrange something so that me and my fiance could get our characters formed into figurines/statues?
Or the question in general, would anyone know of someone/company that could turn our characters into figurines/statues?
I know that it is possible, cause with the FW newest expansion there is an action figurine available to be won as a prize.
Now i'm also aware that alot can be done with cake itself. But me and the fiance were hoping that if this were possible we'd have something as a memento to our weddingday (next to ofcourse the pictures and obvious ringed finger XD lol ) but also something to symbolize how we met in the first place.
Please do not pass this off as a poor attempt to talk to anyone with actual influence within PWI. Nor pass it off as a joke. I can asure you it really, really isn't!
Even if you could tell us why it could not be possible through you guys or what we could do through other companies or have to do regarding copyright issues?
It would mean a lot to us !
Thank you in advance.
Regards, my fiance, Solar_one and I.

First off, congratulations! Have you tried contacting local artists around your area who can sculpt your characters based on pictures? I'm sure it is possible to do.
If I remember correctly, the official merchandise (including the figurine) is made in China, so I'm not sure if there's anything PWE could do. I think your best chance is to look online for a place that could get this done for you for a fee, or even local artists around you.
Good luck!

Wow b:victory Congrats!

@shelly: Ty and i figured the original figurines were manufactured in china, it's why i thought it would be more so a question to frankie considering he, or i suppose pwi's spokesperson between pwi and pwc could put in the request.
Reason we first thought of asking here was that were really looking for quality work, considering were not really planning on EVER getting married after this one, it's got to be -just- right. Next to that it would just be amazing to have such a figurine, not just only for the wedding but also as a memento. PWI really is the reason why and where we met. I used to live in Holland, he flew all the way from australia to come and take me with him.
Pwi was and still is a big part of our life and somewhere i feel it will always be.
@Silest: I'm sure of it Silest! ^^

Congratulations to the both of you! I have seen PWI bring many couples together, and I believe that is one of the many wonders of internet gaming :-)
I watch Food Network alot and wedding shows quite a bit, as my own wedding is due in the near future, and this company was featured on one of those such shows if I remember correctly. As you can see, they specialize in custom cake toppers, and they even have experience in the fantasy/sci-fi/anime/cartooney kind!
Best wishes to you both!

Second.
Your story was very touching and nice and made me remember what situation i'm in.
I also met my love in game. We got married in game and I've been trying since a year now to get by her side..
Problem is.. She is american and I am canadian.. I do not have a up to date passport and after 1/2 year of trying to get all needed (Had expired ID, not my brith certificate, mail troubles, you name it..) .. I finally got denied by the governement for my passport application.
For what ?
A very small offense that gave me a very very small criminal history in 1997.. Now I have to ask for forgivness, get that erased and re-ask for passport. So even though me and my gf do talk to each other by phone, msn, cam and in game, it does push us almost a year more before finally meeting each other b:sad
Hope our story finishes as nice as yours though
Still keeping hope...Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle0 -
Look at all the congrats and best wishes, i feel all fuzzy and warm inside b:cute
Idk if i can come up with a decent reply to all of you, considering i seriously -just- woke up and maybe i should wait till the coffee kicks in but i'm persistant to write something...

Well, i'm not sure about the water but he's definately a prince charming; if bringing me coffee every morning and leaving little post-it love notes everywhere counts?Namari - Dreamweaver wrote: »Grats you two, that's pretty awesome and creative.

Hey, A wedding can be ANY color you want. I've seen rainbow colored themed wedding. A groom in blue and a bride in bright flippen pink *shudders at that thought*
And i've even seen a woman wear a green-ish/purple dress.

I was actually thinking of quoting this one in a completely seperate postm but i was too scared of it all messing up on me so... yeah XD
Puma, there's only one single thing that we can give you as advice. Indeed keep hope and pull strenght from each other. Keep talking like you already do through msn, cam and all those things.
Me and solar had some pretty hard en down times as well when waiting on visa's and official records bla bla yadda yadda and all that stuff.
But i suppose every country is different, and you being Canadian i'm sure you also know how fussy america can be about stuff =.= specially considering canadians yet at the same time consider it "north america" *rolls eyes*
as long as you both know of each other your not giving up and keep talking, i'm pretty sure your both going to be just fine. It might take time, but it'll be totally worth it in the end!
our wished to you both.
Now,last but not least, Thank you for the congratulations; Knownase, queenofpower, kitkate, Angel_spawn, torsay and Aryarie. (and coldsnow, huh ? O.o )

This is proof that anything is possible for those who are determined to be together.
I met the woman I'd go on to marry from PWI last year. She flew into California a few times, got to meet family and friends, especially the handful of best friends a few blocks away who introduced me to this game back in 2009.
She is Canadian, in October we got married at the Santa Clara County, California courthouse. In February this year we found out she was pregnant. At that point I started selling a bunch of things and making arrangements in preparation for filing for permanent residence in Canada, and in April I moved to Canada to be with her while she was approved for sponsorship, and the first place we went to see was Niagara Falls in Canada. Next week she is in her 8th month of pregnancy and due late September, while around that time I will be a permanent resident -- 3 years upon my first entry will be a citizen.
Both of us still play (we mainly duo Nirvana and FF/RB/cube with friends), although in all likelihood our play goes down dramatically after baby is born and stops sleeping more than half the day. (at the very moment I post I'm making her perogies)
To reiterate, anything is possible in relationships, when you have the will.
My PR isn't as complicated. We did the paperwork ourselves, because I have no criminal history (the typical FBI "no record" rap sheet), neither does she, and she's been through backgrounds before just before her nursing ceritification. I'm not sure if your plans are to get married or whether or not you're going to the U.S. or her to Canada (please day her to Canada), but if you need help there's plenty of immigrant forums to aid.Sir_Puma - Raging Tide wrote: »First off .

The possibilities are endless. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with anyone in game either. In fact, I started playing because games like this actually helped in my mental illness recovery, as strange as it sounds. It got me talking to people again. And some of my friends I may never meet because they are in another country, but the fact that they came from this game is proof that anything can happen. Solid friendships can form, even relationships like all those here can form and flourish into more. And the best part is...it's never expected. b:cuteCensorship is the bane of creativity.
