20 Super Geeky Weddings
There’s nothing wrong with adding some geeky touches to your special day, like dancing to the Dragonborn song from Skyrim or sending Super Mario wedding invitations. But a theme wedding can get a bit crazy—and there’s nothing wrong with that either. (Because hey, you’re the one who has to live with the ridiculous photos for the rest of your life.) If you’re not sure just how geeky your wedding should be, check out these 20 super geeky weddings.
1. Super Mario and Princess Peach Wedding
Looks like Mario finally found the right castle and got to marry his princess.
2. Twilight Wedding (They Legally Changed Their Name to Cullen)
Sure, Bella had a beautiful dress and there’s nothing wrong with recreating the look of the Twilight wedding, but this couple took things a little further by changing their last name to Cullen. Yes, you read that right. Abigail and Andy decided to make their Twilight-inspired wedding even more permanent with a name change. Do you think she makes him wear body glitter too?
3. iPad Wedding
Usually wedding officiants reference some kind of holy book, but apparently this couple felt that was a little outdated and upgraded to an iPad.
4. Robot Wedding
What’s even geekier than including an iPad in your wedding ceremony? How about a robot? This Japanese couple’s wedding ceremony was led by the I-Fairy robot in May 2010. The bride worked for the company that made the robot, while the groom was a robotics researcher. So having a robot involved in their big day was pretty fitting.
5. Firefly Wedding… and a TARDIS and Princess Leia for Some Reason
Quite possibly the geekiest couple in the ’verse, these lovebirds wed dressed as Firefly characters. But their wedding wasn’t just Firefly-themed. They were married by Princess Leia in front of a TARDIS, and their guests dressed up like all kinds of sci-fi characters.
6. Secret Identity Wedding
At first glance, this wedding seems completely traditional, but the groom and groomsmen have secret identities. Apparently, saving the world can wait until after the ceremony.
7. Hello Kitty Wedding
Hello Kitty seems to show up just about everywhere, so it’s really no surprise to see a Hello Kitty-themed wedding. Because nothing says everlasting love quite like a giant dose of pink and an adorable cartoon cat.
8. Zombie Wedding
Instead of a blushing bride, some zombie fans opt for more of a “gushing bride” look… as in there’s blood gushing out of her eyes.
9. Hunger Games Wedding
May the odds be ever in your favor… that you won’t get divorced in a year.
10. Flintstones Wedding
The only wedding in which the groom said “I Yabba Dabba Do!” and the bride didn’t sigh and question her decision.
11. Katamari Damacy Wedding
No, these guys aren’t in a cult, they’re just really big fans of the Katamari Damacy games. Do you think she walked down the aisle to the theme song? If so, do you think they’ll mind if I steal that idea for my wedding?
12. Klingon Wedding
I totally get why she didn’t go with a veil. It’s pretty much impossible to find one that properly accentuates a bride’s forehead ridges.
13. Adventure Wedding
Unity candles are so boring and old-fashioned. The cool kids are getting chased by pirates during their ceremony.
14. Zelda Wedding
If you ask me, this Zelda theme is tasteful and unique without going too far. (A green tunic and cap might have crossed that line.) But if you ask my mother, “There’s no way in hell I’m going to pay for a wedding with bridesmaids dressed like fairies and cartoon slingshots and bombs as centerpieces!” So to each his own, I guess. :/
15. Shrek Wedding
The best part about the couple who dressed like Shrek and Fiona on their wedding day is that their last name is Green. Seriously. Christine and Keith Green went all out for their 2009 wedding, right down to the green makeup. The bride even asked her 18-year-old son to dress up as Donkey, but he declined… and then probably wished really hard that he was adopted.
16. Gundam Wedding
“How tall was your wedding arch? Eight feet? I guess that sounds impressive. Us? Oh, we got married under a 59-foot-tall Gundam.”
That actually happened in Tokyo in August 2009. Because apparently a regular wedding arch just wasn’t impressive enough.
17. Superhero Wedding
Unlike the guys who kept their identities hidden until after the ceremony, this couple got married dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman in front of a Fortress of Solitude altar. While that’s really awesome, comic book fans might still have a few questions about the pairing of Clark and Diana. Plus, you know Lois Lane would interrupt that whole “speak now or forever hold your peace” bit.
18. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell Wedding
Every little girl dreams of a fairy-tale wedding, but somehow I don’t think this is what they had in mind.
19. Minecraft Wedding
Truly a match made in Minecraft, this wedding looks like it came straight out of the pixelated PC game, even down to the accessories. The bride is wearing an 8-bit pendant, and the guys are rocking 8-bit neckties.
20. Star Wars Wedding
A list of geeky weddings wouldn’t be complete without Star Wars. Of all the Star Wars-themed wedding photos posted online (of which there are many), this is our favorite. It’s got everything: Stormtroopers, Princess Leia flower girls, and Jawas. May the Force be with this marriage.
Just WOW on that Cullen wedding.
Star Wars wedding! Woop woop! lol
I just luv it…. who says you have to stay within traditional means of a wedding or wedding dress for that matter (gundum wedding) wow awesome
