To Geeks in Love (and are willing to enter into legal partnerships)

To honor the recent nuptials between Jefe and his previously stated hot new wife, and their wedding with its delightfully geeky elements (handmade boardgames anyone?), I present here some scenes of geeks entering into legally binding bliss.  Whether it be awesome invitations and announcements, ceremony in a geek venue, or wedding party decked out in their finest homemade costumes (or uniforms, farbeit for me to offend those nuts), what follows are some examples of folks letting their freak flag fly.

And good on them for it.

Invitations and Announcements (from io9)


These are just so creative, and have such geek yet personal elements.  I'm most partial to the comic book covers, especially the "indie" comic style example.  He's dressed for Firefly, she's in BSG gear, and the items stacked are great personal touches.  The Star Trek logo invites are very "geek sleek", and the ouija board is totally outside the box creative.  A shame they couldn't have the ceremony in the fall.

Ceremonies


That first wedding looks like a hoot, but talk about your mixed media.  They must have told guests to wear whatever they wanted.  Halo, Star Wars, AND Spiderman?  Madness!  Master Chief as the officiant of the wedding of what looks like a regular wedding?  The bride must have caved on that one ;).  I know that Trek fans can take any part of the Roddenberry-verse, but ToS mixed with Next Gen, and of all things a Borg in attendance is kooky.  And WTF is going with the Katamari wedding?!  Cut to scene of elderly family looking confused and a little frightened.

And Now, the Cake!

Casting a broad generalization about our geekiness, I assert that we like the sweet treats.  And these cakes are the perfect centerpiece to a geek reception:


 This AWESOME cake topper can be found along with a ton of neato trinkets @ Etsy's Website.


Both are awesome, but I've gotta give it to the Mario cake!

Finally, this wedding looks like it was so cool I had to give them their own rundown.  The lady of the house quickly put the kibosh on any such theme to any potentially pending wedding of our own.  But a man can dream.

Browncoat Wedding


Invitations autographed by both Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillian.  Wow.  All the best wishes in the 'Verse to these citizens.

Been to a geeky wedding lately?

  1. A timely post. I was satisfied with our light smattering of geekitude and not going full throttle. At one point we considered various themes: Zelda, World of Warcraft, Battlestar Galactica, and Halloween.
