Posted byGaze upon the greatness that is Tribe member “Reenie's” geeky, silly, timely, comic book-style wedding invitation!
Reenie sez,
“The wording [on the back] is my favorite part. It reads: ‘[We] request the honor of your presence as two geeks save the princess, resist the dark side and pledge their lives (extra, or otherwise) to each other.' And we snuck a Hyrulian crest in there too!”
With adorableness like that can you believe she actually had doubts about using these invitations!? Mostly for fear that the older generations wouldn't “get it.” But then she realized, “if people don't like the invites then they probably won't get the ‘Mario Kart Love Song' that plays on our wedsite, or the lightsaber duel mid-ceremony, or the gaming stations or my Death Cab for Cutie inspired wedding tattoo, or any of the other stuff that is ‘us.'”
So in featuring these invites we both hope that it inspires someone else to let their inner geek flag fly!

That is adorable.
This is way too cool!
This is the best invitation. EVER.
Now I need to come up with something this epic 😀
*Trying really hard not to steal word for word.* These are so friggin perfect, congratulaiatons on being abso-blummin-lutely amazing!
Gorgeous!
As gifts to my spouse's friends, who were mega-awesome attendants, we got pocket watches engraved with the Hylian Crest. I surprised by spouse by getting him one, too 🙂
LOVE the "Mario Kart love song" and thought it would be a perfect gamer's wedding song!
OMG these are so cute and the Kanye reference is HA-LARIOUS
That is so adorable! And I love the Mario Kart Love Song so much! FH and I are using it in our wedding as well and a lot of Zelda references.
Rule 0 guys, rule 0.
I am trying very hard to not laugh gleefully in the middle of the library lounge because that is freaking AMAZING!
These rock so hardcore. FOR THE WIN.
so, so good!!! these are a riot, and still totally sweet. nice one!
Insanely freakin' fantastic!
I love that this is totally GEEK WEEK on OBB. 🙂
I feel like it's been geek YEAR on OBB. 🙂
:D!!!
What a unique invite!! I love it!!!
Thanks so much for posting this.
This is amazing!
You guys had me when I saw the "IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR" guy.
Frikken cool!
Best. Post. Ever.
I am vaguely ashamed that I no comics were included in my wedding…. but no way would they have been this awesome.
I love love love the Mario Kart Love Song and am planning on making that the music to the first dance.
Also, my jaw about unhinged when I saw the invite. AKBAR! ZELDA AND LINK! SHOOP DA WOOP?! Holy crapola, you rock!
Epic, epic win.
Literally best invitation EVER
Hilarious AND topical – Anything that rips on that Kayne thing is awesome to me.
Plus, the Akbar inclusion made me and my mister actually appluad.
This invitation had me at Kanye.
I'm not gonna lie to you Marge, that's pretty awesome.
HEHE… that's cool
this is the most amazing invitation i have ever seen!
This was so sweet. My fiance and I are having a "Gamer Chic" reception, but alas, the actual ceremony is Celtic Handfasting, and so a gamer invite like this wouldn't work. I do have to say though that, after going to IanTakesABride.com, Ian (and Maureen???) is such a wordsmith! I love reading it. It is so funny. Congrats. I'd also like to say that the "Mario Kart Love Song" made me tear up a little bit… where can I get a copy?
The geek inside me is bubbling with joy right now. How could this invite be so cute?! Argh! Epic Win for the bride!
gaming stations?!
Absolutely genius! Love the artwork <3
