The popular HBO show "Game of Thrones" made headlines last season with their impactful episode entitled "The Red Wedding." And it appears that the show will attempt to outdo itself with another wedding in season four. For spoilers about what is now called "The Purple Wedding," read on.

A description of the shooting of the Purple Wedding scenes has been posted to the HBO production blog, MakingGameOfThrones.com.

"Filmed over a five day stretch, we waited with bated breath each day for the clouds to roll in and dampen our fun. Weather reports suggested imminent downpours at the end of the week, and only a few days before, water funnels had formed off the coast in the height of a rain storm.

"Aside from one short and dramatic burst where Costume scrambled to get all the extras under cover and everyone rushed to protect props, we were spared the worst of the predictions."

Cat Taylor on MakingGameOfThrones.com has said, "In terms of principal cast members in attendance, the Royal Wedding was one of the largest scenes we've filmed since the premiere season, with 23 named parts appearing on any given day.

"In addition, we were delighted to welcome 218 extras as guests to the event, some of them travelling from the other side of Europe and the United States to be a part of the experience. Lookout for some familiar faces in the crowds - Pixie Le Knot is back this year, and one of our crew makes an appearance with the entertainers."
