Magic: The Gathering engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

Find out how Magic: The Gathering and Chipotle led to this nerdtastic engagement shoot

Will and Sara are self-described super nerds (our people!) and rocked a Magic: The Gathering meets Doctor Who engagement session that we couldn’t resist. Table-topping, TARDISing, and smooching — the story of our nerd-loving hearts. They met when she overheard him while walking down the street talking about Magic. As fate would have it, Will walked into the Chipotle line directly behind her and she gathered up the courage to talk to him since she too played Magic. Thus, the photos playing Magic are at none other than Chipotle!

Let non-geeks in on the jokes with your geeky wedding program

I hate (like reeeeeeaaaaally don’t like) being on the outside of an inside joke. So I am in total love with how Karen and Terry let their non-geek guests know what was up at their geeky wedding. They drafted up a super informative geeky wedding program, with short and sweet blurbs explaining just what steampunk meant anyway and yes, the Discworld really is flat…

Make your Halloween wedding decor easy, and scary-awesome with these Jack-o-lantern stencils

While brainstorming ideas for our Halloween wedding, the first project my guy and I agreed on were these nerdy Jack-o-Lanterns. We wanted them to cover a broad range of our interests from comic books, to TV fandoms, and classic literature.
