Two gamers tie the knot at a Zelda forest-themed wedding
Courtney and Brian share a love of nerding out with video games, so a Legend of Zelda forest-themed wedding at Ramekins in Sonoma, California was the order of the day. They ran into some issues with rain and weren’t sure if their outdoor wedding was going to go as planned. Thankfully, the rain stopped long to get mostly through the wedding.
Then it was gaming, dancing, and eating some fab birch-themed cake! Let’s peek at this geektastic meets elegant wedding…

Feeling down on yourself while trying on dresses? Seeing emails in your inbox about losing weight for the wedding or worse, hearing it from people you love? It’s time to take back your self-worth and own your beauty. One of our favorite photographers, Sandrachile, sent us fat-positive inspiration shoot that blew our collective minds.

A goth castle wedding in Ireland with a stroll through the cemetery
Deirdre and Dylan planned the goth wedding of their dreams at Blackwater Castle in Castletownroche, Cork, Ireland. They started with a gorgeous church ceremony, then some creepy-chic portraits in the cemetery, and finally into the seriously majestic castle for dinner and celebration.
Roll for initiative at this gamer’s dream geek chic wedding
The D&D geek theme started because I had the thought to myself, "you have encountered a wedding ceremony — roll for initiative." We both thought it was funny, and it sort of spiraled from there that all of our favorite nerdy things could be incorporated.
“A few of our favorite things”: a nostalgic wedding down memory lane
The theme to our wedding was pretty simple: "these are a few of our favorite things." One of the things that made us fall for each other was our similar interests from childhood. We wanted our wedding to be full of nostalgiac whimsy and, most importantly, us. From the first day we were engaged we knew we wanted to get married at Childrens Fairyland in Oakland, a place near and dear to our hearts. You better believe I called the venue that first day while laying on the beach in Hawaii.
Stars meets nature: a subtly geeky lakeside wedding with DIY for days
We combined our love for nature and the stars into a theme that came very easily for us. It helped that we found a venue that was the perfect setting to view the beauty of nature, as well as get a great view of the stars at night. To further our theme, I wanted to add a bit of a fantasy element so I decided to add subtle details that drew from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, both of which we're big fans.
