May the 4th was the perfect wedding date for Star Wars fan Homer Liwag. He’d already designed a beautiful Indiana Jones engagement ring and a Star Wars wedding band so naturally he created amazing invitations for his own wedding. Each one came in a little black box that held a miniature Star Wars ship attached to an invitation that initially read only “Take Off.” Once the recipient took off the paper, the full invitation was revealed beneath.

Ana and Marc had their wedding in a comic book shop. Yes, you can already tell they are the best. Happy Harbor Comics in Edmonton is their favorite shop, and they worked with event planners ID Bohemia (who also took the photos in this post) to create a perfect representation of themselves and their love of geeky stuff.
They had Jones Sodas made with custom labels featuring pictures of themselves, they set each place setting at the reception with a first issue of a comic (different for every guest), and nerdy accessories like Super Mario Bros stars are scattered throughout. All of those items were set against a background full of vibrant colors. It’s a visual feast, and it looks like it was a lot of fun to attend!

If you want to have the ultimate Star Wars themed wedding then you should be looking at reception halls in Scotland. If the proposed Marriage and Civil Partnership bill becomes law, then it will allow couples to be married by the usual religious organizations, judges and a member of a group promoting a certain belief. That last bit is the part that possibly opens the door to Jedi Knights.
“The third category is quite astonishing because it is the so-called belief category without really defining what belief means,” said Church spokesman Reverend Iver Martin. “There are loads of people in a diverse society like this for whom belief can mean virtually anything – the Flat Earth Society and Jedi Knights Society – who knows?
As for the government’s point of view, they’re not going to let people get married all willy-nilly.
“We are proposing the introduction of tests which a religious or belief body would have to meet before they could be authorised to solemnise marriage.”
Tests, huh? Considering the training a Jedi Knight has to endure, passing whatever tests the Scottish government can muster will be a cake walk.
Okay, so that may have been a bait and switch headline but it’s still technically accurate, just not in the way you probably think. Sir Ian McKellen will be officiating the wedding of Sir Patrick Stewart to his partner, Sunny Ozell. He revealed his part in the ceremony during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show.

This comic-themed wedding is more about the feelings invoked by Calvin and Hobbes than it is about cosplay or recreating that imaginary world in real life. Couple Stephanie and Jonathan chose the comic because of it’s fun, joyful, never-grow-up feeling and they carried that through to their wedding day with subtle and some not-so-subtle nods to the comic. It started with the invitations and included their engagement photos, a Calvin ring bearer with a Hobbes plush sewn by the groom and even cake toppers. The entire event was photographed beautifully by Junshien Lau.

Love is in the air. You met the perfect person at the comic book store. You both reached for the latest issue of Hellboy at exactly the same time. Several passionate rants about the changes in the Star Wars movies, multiple discussions about the best version of Dungeons and Dragons, and one Doctor Who marathon later, you’ve decided it was meant to be. You’re taking the plunge, and you’ve decided to weave your love for all things nerdy into your wedding day. Chances are the latest issue of Brides magazine isn’t going to give you the right kind of inspiration or the best resources. Since ads for custom wedding lightsabers don’t tend to find their way into the pages of mainstream planning magazines, you have to look outside the white, lacy box. We’re here to help.

Hail to the King, baby. Bruce Campbell has now reached legendary status in my eyes.
Bruce recently became an ordained minister and he’ll be officiating the zombie wedding of a very lucky couple at ZomBCon, in Seattle this Halloween.
He’s also doing a mass (uprising?) renewal ceremony, for any of you folks who want to get married again, zombie style.
Oh and, Ted Raimi’s going to be the altar boy.
Is there any doubt as to Bruce Campbell’s level of awesome? I think not.

Actually, if she wouldn’t let me have the Kinekt ring, I’m sure as hell not getting this.
