Well What with making new templates and other things that came up and now school starting I don't have anything to update y'all with other than this: I made new, slightly larger templates by taping a sheet of paper to my breast plate and cutting to shape and then transferring that to card board. When I made the new ones I didn't cut out the area for the sternum diamond, instead making the internal edge of the plates straight. I then traced the new shape onto a square trashcan but only found time to cut out the Ab-turned-lower-back-plate. It's taller and wider that my ab plate and fits my back perfect. I'll post pics after I get the breast-turned-shoulder-blade-plates cut out too.
To answer bluejay's questions: We put a lot of time into planning our wedding working in several traditions from other cultures that we liked the symbolism of in an attempt to make our wedding beautiful, unique, thought provoking, and God honoring. But no, no beskar'gam, and no Mando vows (ours were the very traditional "plight thy my troth" type).
As far as a helmet Nomad and I are scraping money together to buy one of Saz's krayt dragon beauties.
