Game on, Wayne: our favorite games to play at your reception and pre-parties
You probably already know that a good portion of Offbeat Bride readers don’t love dancing. But they DO love games — board games, card games, lawn games, video games… all games all the time, amirite?! We decided to team up with one of our favorite party games and sponsors, Cads About Matrimony (the wedding game that doesn’t suck!), to list out some of our favorite ways to get your party on.
PARTY ON, WAYNE. Gaaaaame on, Garth. Let’s do this…
16 wonderful and weird wedding proposals (that totally worked!)
If there’s one thing we love, it’s a good proposal story. Now, we really love an intimate, meaningful, and sweet proposal, but sometimes you just want to hear a neat story of nerdy, wonderful, and weird wedding proposals. We’ve seen some amazing offbeat wedding proposals and we wanted to round up some of the ones we’ve featured, some we love from around the web, and some that have just become legend. Let’s go down the rabbit hole of geeky, romantic, and wonderfully weird wedding proposals.
See the Pokémon game proposal this game developer made for his girlfriend
Sammy is an indie game developer who makes a game for his games user researcher girlfriend Tasha every year. This year he ramped up his romance game to the max by adding in a surprise Pokémon game proposal. The matching Poké Ball ring was the icing on this gamertastic geeky proposal of our dreams. You HAVE to see this.
You HAVE to see the giant Stargate, light-up dress, and Minecraft cake at this video game-themed wedding
A light-up dress. A blinking tie clip. Centerpieces filled with D20 dice. Chicken and waffles on the menu. Kaylee’s parasol. A Minecraft cake so epic the guests didn’t realize it was cake. Mario and Luigi as ringbearers. Guests in costumes. A grand entrance through a giant Stargate. This geeky video game-themed wedding is an explosion of nerdy goodness.
