The Ultimate Planning Guide For Any Geeky Bride

Proposal 2.0

So this guy cheated a little bit. He had already proposed the traditional way, hence the 2.0. After Google set up some streetviews near Googleplex (a.k.a. my mecca), Google employee Michael Weiss-Malik used the opportunity to re-propose to his girlfriend.

Third time is a charm

Cobb wanted to do something special for Williams. Why not propose at LEGOland in Vegas? With the help of a “Lacey Will You Marry Me?” sign created by one of the park’s model builders, he proposed. Unfortunately Williams walked by the sign on the mini Eiffel Tower twice before Cobb got down on bended knee.

A Very Hacky Ending

Bernie Ping, a computer programmer, proposed to his girlfriend by hacking a game of Bejeweled (also my favorite way to waste time.) PopCap, the maker of the game, is flying the couple to Seattle as part of their honeymoon and handing out copies of the game to wedding guests.

Cat 5 Wedding Ring

“The world is your technological oyster.” The female ring has a choice of four opaque colors: turquoise, white, orange or black. The male ring, ironically, is transparent.

Say "I Do," Record it, and Wrap it Around Her Finger

This is a cool way to wear your heart – and your lover’s voice – on your sleeve. Virtual waveforms of a recorded message are transformed into a real-life ring. Because saying “I Do” just isn’t enough. Designed by Sakurako Shimizu.

Superhero Wedding

So this couple didn’t go ALL out for their geeky, superhero themed wedding, but I’m partial to green so I had to include it. The groom wore a green tie and the bride wore a green sash around her dress. Woah. Those rebels. The cake looks good though!

Love at first type

Would you ever guess that they met on the Internet? This couple decided to have two laptop-shaped cakes made for their wedding, complete with their online dating profiles. And of course, you can’t forget the tiny cups of Starbucks coffee off to the side.

The King of All Cakes

Everything in the pictures of this cake is 100% edible. “This Chocolate Decadence Cake (black chocolate cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream and chocolate mousse) was as delicious as it was unique.” This cake looks TOO good to eat. Created by Beth from Let Them Eat Cake.

I wonder what's on their playlist

Adam and Kinsley Mull insisted on having a green iPod mini wedding cake.

Don't forget the cake toppers

Etsy shop owner Buildersstudio has created this wooden robot cake topper with all of the love in his/her geeky heart. It’s very Nightmare Before Christmas-esque.

Maybe some of you want to be more subtle about your superhero fascination. More info: http://bit.ly/DRE13

Having a hard time writing your vows? Why not let iloveyoumorethanblank.com help? I Love You more Than is a website that lets you add your own sweet candy-heart message: “I love you more than Robin loved Batman.”

Geeky wedding favors

Assuming your wedding has no budget, why not give away these heart-shaped flash drives instead of a tiny bag of candy? Sure it’s about $38 bucks for a 2GB and you’d have to pay for some outrageous shipping from Japan…but love has no limit right?

This makes me smile

Mr. and Mrs. Green (I couldn't make this up)

Christine England married her fiance Keith Green in full costume and make-up in front of 100 guests who were also in costume. Christine said: ‘The idea just came to me. I knew what we would go as because Keith looks just like Shrek." Well that’s…um…romantic?

A Smoregasboard of Geek

Groom: Boba Fett (without helmet)
Bride: Wore replica of the dress worn in Labyrinth.
Guests: Ranged from Spider-men and Batgirls and at least two Master Chiefs that served as ushers.

The Twist: “When the priest, who just happened to be dressed as an Imperial officer, asked if anyone had any objections, someone said they did. It wasn’t just any person, it was another Boba Fett. No, scratch that, THE Boba Fett. Jeremy Bulloch, who portrayed Fett in the good Star Wars films, showed up in costume”

End Result: A pissed off bride. She had NO idea Bulloch would show up and “ruin” the wedding. Come on! If you’re going to have a nerd wedding, you can’t get all pissy about the details.

Star Wars

Groom: Mon Calamari mask
Wedding officiator: Boobies, er, Princess Leia.
Bride: Oh yeah…there was one.

Rent A Photo Booth

How else can you keep track of all the drunken debauchery that occurs at your wedding? I mean, the memories…capture the memories.

These are actually quite fun!
