Sammy is an indie game developer who makes a game for his games user researcher girlfriend Tasha every year.

Fantasy fandom mash-up: a Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding

It’s Hogwarts and Middle-earth combined to form a most heavenly, super DIYed, ultra geektastic wedding in the bride’s hometown in Texas. Loads of time went into the handmade invitations, save-the-dates, favors, centerpieces, programs, menus, seating chart, boutonnieres, and KICK-ASS sword handle bouquets. Seriously, don’t miss those. The couple rocked their Hogwarts houses all night on the dance floor and cut the cake with a huge axe. It was a hug axe fun time. Puns!

It’s dangerous to go alone: take these geeky “just married” car decals

I was revisiting one of our favorite geeky fantasy weddings, Shanon and Brandon’s Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding, and remembered their fun as hell Lord of the rings “just married” car decal. “Just married” decals can lean a little on the traditional side of things, not unlike tying tin cans to the bumper, but when they’ve gone the way of the geek? The game is changed. In this case, a two-player 8-bit game. Let’s see what decals I could find including Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Legend of Zelda, The Simpsons, and Star Wars.

Stargate altar for a wedding as seen on @offbeatbride #stargate #wedding

Indeed it IS a handcrafted Stargate altar for a sci-fi wedding

Stargate fans, we’ve got your dream ceremony backdrop. We spied this masterfully crafted Stargate altar built by groom Ian Milward for his sci-fi wedding. The ring itself is 12 feet in diameter and looks even more rad lit up with LEDs. The Stargate ceremony backdrop was made by Ian and his partner who met at a hardware store and bonded over their love of sci-fi.
