Well, the linked article went down somewhat after the wedding. All I know about it was: they shipped the sword ahead of time; there was a note from customs inside the package note that it had been inspected. Apparently they couldn't find a legal reason to prohibit it. Since it was probably accompanied by some piece of medivial garb they may have inferred that it was for a theatrical production, which I suppose in one sense it was. There's no shortage of reenactors in the UK either; I understand that's how Robin and Sean met.
