Ditch the wedding propaganda: tv shows, magazines, and (gasp!) even Pinterest

I have sworn off all wedding-related things. Or, at least, things not related directly to my wedding. This includes TV shows, magazines, The Knot, and any other website that makes me have unrealistic expectations of my nuptials. This “wedding propaganda,” as I have so lovingly been calling it, has only overwhelmed me, smothered my own voice inside my head, and made me feel inadequate in the planning and execution of my own wedding. This is unacceptable.

How do you say yes to your dress when there’s no teary-eyed “this is it!” moment?

Everyone who has watched “Say Yes to the Dress” knows about the expected “ah-hah” moment in the bridal dress salon. But what happens when that, well, doesn’t happen? How do you know to say yes to that dress?

When Trekkies Wed: a Star Trek-themed ceremony, vows, and officiant dressed as Q

Seattle-based officiant Elaine Way was contacted by our Trekkie couple of the day (John and Becky) and asked if she would dress in full character for their ceremony. The character they had in mind was none other than Q, aka the bossy enlightened know-it-all from Next Generation. Since Becky and John are full-blown Trekkies, we also have the entire ceremony AND a wedding video!

Clara & Justin’s massive mix of geekery and love wedding

We teased this contender for most geeky references ever in a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and now you’ll get the whole story AND all the fandom references we know you want! We’re talking Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Firefly, World of Warcraft, Dracula, Sherlock, Transformers, Myst, Diablo… GASP… Portal, Lord of the Rings, Mario… WHEW, I can’t even go on. There’s too many. Go on without us. But know that it’s dangerous to go alone. Take this wedding.
