Wedding as fandom? (It might be more likely than you think!)
Since my last rant against all the “helpful” lists and articles on weddings, I’ve been thinking a lot about why I was getting so offended by them. Why I’ve been getting so offended about everything negative and wedding-related. When’s the last time I got this worked up over something that I took so damn personally, and that everyone else took so personally too? And then last night, when I was reading about Dashcon, I realized it. Fandom!
Mishy & DJ’s nerdcore poly wedding complete with sonic screwdriver
Pink glasses, purple groom’s hair, and a poly-inclusive (and everything else-inclusive!) — this Jewish-meets-Boston-meets-New York wedding is just a dream. The couple dealt with some challenges: disabilities, long-distance planning, and how to incorporate all their interests — but damn did they do it well! Smoosh your face against the screen and give these cuties a virtual hug.
Amanda & Lee’s knights and dragons colorful fairy tale wedding
If you’re still reading this and haven’t already clicked to see more of the fabulous red dress, dapper white suit, and DRAGON HEADPIECE, there’s more to see in this white-knight-marries-a-lovely-dragon wedding. We’re talking handmade dragon wings, light-up leather bouquets, Magic: the Gathering rings, Frozen karaoke, and a Mario Kart shell toss. If that doesn’t get you, nothing will!
Mandy & Eric’s silly and geeky dance party
Hitchhiker’s Guide, Game of Thrones, and zombie references all wrapped up in a joke-filled (and super meaningful!) ceremony and dance party — that’s our kind of fun. Plus, you just might love their wedding party alternative at the ceremony. Oh, and don’t miss the really good advice on how to mingle with the guests at the reception!
