12 Adorably Geeky Wedding Themes
Nerd, geek: It can be hard to keep track of whatever they’re calling us these days. Whatever it is, we’re interpreting it to mean that we’re originals, and originals don’t play it safe. Nowhere is that more obvious than in geek weddings. Scroll on for 12 weddings so adorable and geek-chic, we wish we had been invited to them!
1. Bicycle Wedding: After the ceremony, this couple rode off on a bicycle built for two. The entire wedding party followed on individual bikes rented for the occasion. Each bike was blinged out with cushioned seats, streamers and balloons. (Photos via Rachel Thurston Photography)
2. Puppet Wedding: What happens when an artist and an art professor fall in love? They get married by an officiant puppet in a mini pulpit, of course! Zack and Zoe created a puppet show set to the poem “The Owl and the Pussycat” by Edward Lear. They made the stage, scenery, props and puppets. Instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen, they had narrators and puppeteers. (Photos via Micah Bloom)
2. Vaudeville Wedding: Yes, do ooh and ahh over this adorable Tim Walker-inspired wedding. It’s tough to decide which is more picture-perfect: the sun setting over the puppet procession or the vaudeville stage altar. (Photos via Gia Canali)
4. Gamer Wedding: It takes dedication when your goal is the high score. This Minecraft theme definitely tops the leader board. (Photos via Geoff & Lisa Bardot)
5. A Book-Themed Wedding: Who doesn’t love a literary love story? Using your favorite storybook as a theme is a perfect way to give your wedding a personal touch. (Photos via Sonya Yruel)
