Check out Brew and Kestre's custom-made Save the Date invitation, made by their friend and artist Violet Hope. This amazingly illustrated Save the Date contains 36 references to geeky TV shows, movies, and more! (I see homages to Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, Back to the Future, Portal, and Sherlock Holmes.) Can you spot them all?
The invitation is just the tip of the geektastic awesomeness that is Brew and Kestre's wedding. Wait until you see the event photos that showed up in our Flickr pool…
Here are Brew and Kestre in all their wedding day glory. How beautiful are they?
What's this? Oh, just a freaking 8th Doctor‘s TARDIS console wedding cake.
Their centerpieces were all geeky toys.
Speaking of geek toys, the groom's father made a Vesica Piscis puzzle for their unity ceremony, in which they placed each of the pieces together.
Of course, what geeky wedding is complete without a TARDIS photobooth!?
Hopefully we'll be getting the full scoop from the bride and groom themselves in the form of an in-depth wedding profile. Until then, let's just gawk at that console cake again, shall we?

AMAZING!
Firefly, Star Trek, and I swear that is a Boom Blox reference I see…
I see Princess Bride, and is the little puppet next to the Sorting Hat from Angel? If so, I love that episode!
Oh goodness, so many references! I consider myself pretty darn geeky, but even I could only get half of them: Indiana Jones, Myst, Firefly, Portal, Harry Potter, World of Warcraft, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Legend of Zelda, Dr. Who, Princess Bride, Spirited Away, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sherlock, Back to the Future … and those are just the ones I’m sure of. Bats=Batman?, Log = Ren and Stimpy?, those Triangle blocks look really familiar, but I can’t place them.
Awesome 😀
Triangle blocks = the fifth element 🙂
The bride and groom are dressed as Dracula and Mina from the Francis Ford Coppola film!
The triangle blocks are from The Fifth Element! And the little forest spirit dudes from Princess Mononoke, and is that one of the ghost-catching thingimabobbers from Ghostbusters on the floor? There is FAR too much awesome in this post!
Now this is going to bug me!
1. Sorting hat = Harry Potter
2. Puppet = Angel
3. Bat’leth = Star Trek
4. Forest spirit = Princess Mononoke
5. Soot creatures = Spirited Away
6. Dalek + scarf? = Dr. Who
7. Cube = Portal
8. Bats = Batman
9. Smiley = The Watchmen
10. Umbrella + Jane hat + dino in the car = Firefly
11. Car = Back to the Future
12. Zero = Nightmare Before Christmas
13. Box = Indiana Jones
14. Eye in orb = Lord of the Rings
15. Ghost trap = Ghostbusters
16. Rocks with carvings = 5th Element
17. Map = Game of Thrones?
18. Shield = ? Stargate and/or Prometheus?
19. Rat = Princess Bride
20. Cane = Sherlock Holmes
21. Sword = Legend of Zelda
This is turning into a fun community project!
9. Smiley is actually Sherlock, the Watchmen one is more drippy
17. Map on the wall is World of Warcraft
18. Are you talking about the shield with the sword? That’s Zelda, Ocarina of Time. Navi is hanging out on the top left side too 😀
I’m stuck on most of the small stuff on the left side:
22. Book = Myst
23. Blue poster =
24. Bigger brown cube
25. Little brown cube
26. Purple cube
27. Goblet
28. Pie
29. Skull on the Mantle
30. There’s something gold on the floor by the car tire
31. Log
Anyone? 😀
I’m thinking the log is from Twin Peaks.
The goblet is Indiana Jones: Last Crusade. You’re right about the map being WoW, the cubes are totally throwing me off, too, the scarf and Dalek are both Doctor Who (the scarf belongs to the fourth Doctor) dino and hat are both Firefly, and I’m not going to bother with anything else because everything else has been covered and I’m just reiterating it now. 🙂
Is the skull from Hamlet?
The skull could also be from Sherlock Holmes, and maybe the gold thing by the tire is a snitch? . . . EITHER WAY this is just so full of awesome!!!
Skull could be Bob from Dresden Files, or a reference to the TV show Bones.
ALL OF THE THINGS!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
Oh man, I hope that there’s a formal write-up on this wedding. The invite, the dress, DAT TARDIS console. <3333
I’m pretty sure that #23 (“blue poster”) is actually the star map from “Time Bandits.”
Also, I’ll bet that the pie (#28) is a piece of cherry pie, which would be “Twin Peaks.”
Too cool!
OMG tardis photobooth!? Awesome!
If we do get a full write up from them (please!), can we request an official breakdown of every one of the STD references?
Puzzlebox from Hellraiser? …. on the left on the companion cube.
Everybody’s so busy looking at the objects, which are awesome, but I wonder who else has noticed that they’re actually in the TARDIS.
This is AWESOME!!! I agree I think the little box on the companion cube is from Hellraiser. I love the ROUS!!!
Awesome!! I didn’t know this got mentioned until today!
Ok let me see what was correct and incorrect:
Bats are actually a Nightmare Before Christmas nod
Smiley is BBC Sherlock
Map is WoW
Cane is the cane from Bram Stoker’s Dracula outfit
Other map is Time Bandits
Log is twin peaks
Everything else is correct on those lists.
The gold on the floor by the car tire is really obscure (it’s a lemon, is that hint enough?) 😉
Missing:
Purple Cube (cartoon reference)
medium brown cube (video game reference)
I need to find the write-up format and I’ll post more about our wedding. Thanks so much for your comments so far 🙂
“The lemon is in play.” (Cabin Pressure)
Got it!
I’m actually thinking that the pie is Supernatural.
