When Padme and Anakin rocked their engagement photos

How Padme and Anakin rocked their engagement photos

This couple rocked a stellar Star Wars cosplay shoot with Padme and Anakin in a Tatooine-like landscape. It was taken by JM Photography who were compelled to keep it under wraps until their Baywood Golf & Country Club wedding in Arcata, California. Geeky surprises are the best kind!

There's a geeky engagement ring style to tickle EVERYONE's Spidey senses

There’s a nerdy engagement ring style here to tickle EVERYONE’s Spidey senses

We’ve already schemed with our partners at Joseph Jewelry in the past about fandom-inspired rings and they’ve taken it up another notch to bring us these ideas for nerdy engagement ring styles. If you’ve got a nerd style that you want infused into a custom engagement ring (Star Wars! Disney! LotR! Music! Harry Potter!), bring some ideas to Joseph Jewelry and they will create it for you — made to order, to your specifications (seriously!), and beyond all your geektastic dreams.

That golden snitch ring? Done. A Labyrinth owl wing ring? Owned. Jack Skellington? Ring of Barahir? Cthulhu? Yep yep and yep…

After nearly a decade together, Judy and Phil tied the knot at their alma mater of St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The two originally couldn’t decide on a theme, but man did they pick a good one in the end. They love a ton of fantasy/science fiction franchises, so it only made sense to call upon the powers of The One Ring, The Force, and The Ministry of Magic to get the job done. Just wait until you see their fandom-themed centerpieces and references to pop culture touchstones everywhere. Oh, and when elf ears are involved, I’m so in. Let’s see all the magic unfold…

A few reasons Neil Gaiman totally gets love (including a NEW Gaiman wedding reading!)

NEW Neil Gaiman wedding readings

If you know about writer and novelist Neil Gaiman, you already know that he’s a super cool human whose talent for the written word knows no bounds. His friends have tapped him to write something poignant for their weddings. We’ve seen the results of that endeavor and it’s MAGICAL. Gaiman added a newly written wedding reading to his personal site recently that we loved and we couldn’t resist using it as an excuse to round up our faves.

Here are some of our favorite Neil Gaiman wedding readings, including his NEW ONE! Spoiler: it’s about how he totally doesn’t know anything about love (but he actually totally does)…
