Goodness that's a scary thought! They will definitely have to spend more time on this than in the book!

I know it is scary. Lets just hope they get as close like my signature.

I love your signature!!!!!! I hope so! I have faith that they won't mess it up.

My image of the wedding is similar to the Narnian celebration at the end of PC when the Pevensies, King Caspian & Aslan are parading down the city streets on their way to the castle... having dramatic music but no actual spoken parts. What do you guys think?

But I like speaking parts. I would prefer something kinda sweet and kinda simple. I think that's best done with words but that's just my opinion

Well of course; ideally I would like speaking parts too. But if i were to guess how a wedding would turn out, I would guess it would show a wedding with dramatic music but no actual speaking parts.

I guess it would also do well to develop the romance at some point during the movie. Maybe a deep heart-to-heart conversation between Caspian and RD before the ship sails off to the very end of the world. Something like the bridge scene between Aragorn and Arwen in LOTR.

I think showing the wedding at least a little would be the best way to adapt the book. In the book Lewis doesn’t talk about the wedding, he simply says that Caspian and RD got married. Since it’s a book, telling the readers they got married is the easiest way to establish that. In movies you show, you don’t tell (unless there’s a narrator). Even a quick wedding scene would be sufficient to show people that haven’t read the books that RD becomes Caspian’s wife and Rillian’s mother.
Also, if they do show the wedding, hopefully the filmmakers will get the romance out of their system so they don’t fill the need to add it in place where it doesn’t belong.
The only problem with the wedding is where it should be place in the film. If it takes place before they sail to the end of the world then they can’t have the part where Caspian wants to sail the very edge and abdicate the throne, but if they get married at the end it may throw of the flow of the scene where the Pevensies and Eustace leave Narnia.

I said Yes, because I think that coulb be a realy awsome seen, and I simply love Ramadus daughter!
and having the marrige in the movie, well see more of her..
But I still want them to stay close to the book, so if they have to change too mutch to let King Caspian(and the audience) lern to now her better, I think then they shoud not include a wedding scene.

I voted for a short wedding scene. I wouldn't want something too long, just a short scene to show you that Caspian married Ramda and you can forget about Suspian.

I think there should be a small wedding scene just so we know that Caspian has a [somewhat] happy ending, but just so they don't make him look like he goes from girl to girl (because of Susan).

I really don't like the idea of a wedding in the movie. It would be nice to show the developing of an appropriate relationship but I think any kind of wedding scene could easily distract an audience from the all important words of Aslan, the words the books are built around. Unless they are doing some major plot changes their isn't much of a place to put except maybe the credits. Now a scene with a small Prince Rillian, in my mind, would give the suspicion of another Narnia movie still to come (which isn't a bad thing).

My sister came up with a scene that I think would work perfectly. Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace are staring at the picture after they get back, the camera zooms in on the ship, and then zooms out, only now we're in a room at Cair Paravel and the ship is part of the magical map hanging on the wall. Caspian is staring at it. RD walks up and holds out her hand to him. He takes it. Rilian comes toddling in. Caspian picks him up. RD smiles and watches them. Cue credits. I think this would work well because there's no dialogue so we don't have to worry about RD not having a name; it's a few years after they're married, so it's proven to the audience that while Susan was the crush of his youth, RD is the love of his life; and it's a good way to set up for Silver Chair because the audience would know about Rilian.
It's not their wedding, but I always think it's more romantic in stories if you know they love each other more after they're married.

The more I read over this idea for a scene, the more I love it!! I think that it would be neat if they put it in the credits, kind of as a hint to movies to come (like they did in LWW). I also think it would definitely help get rid of Suspian if they show Caspian & RD married, with a son, and still as much in love with each other as before.

Now we can only hope the filmmakers had the same idea...

I do love that idea for a scene too daughter of the King and MountainFireFlower. But unfortunately those writers don't have the same minds as us. I wish a scene could take place like that about four or five years after VDT in the movie. It would show Caspian now has a family and he doesn't need Susan.

DamselJillPole: No, sadly we don't share a brain with the filmmakers. But here's a solution - why don't they put us NWebbers in charge of making the film instead! That could get...interesting!

Well, why couldn't they do it four or five years later? I mean, they'd only have to slightly age Caspian & RD, and find them a five-year-old son, but it's totally feasible...right??

Yes and I hope something similar to the idea happens on screen to show that Caspian and RD do get together and are in love.
