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.

DIY Companion Cube ring box for under $10

Henna and Halo alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Combine traditions and interests with a Henna & Halo party

The night before our interfaith wedding, we had a big party. My partner Shreyas’ mom wanted to have a henna party, where all the women get mehendi, but she wanted to have the guys come, too. Shreyas objected, saying mehendi was a “girl thing” and didn’t want to do it. We compromised by having a manly activity too, and thus the Henna & Halo party was born.
