    Haha I love it, my boyfriend and I said when we get married we need some geeky-ness or it just wouldn't be us, first idea was someone dressed as Frodo...as the ring bearer. Obviously the wedding rings need to be like the one ring...
    Hahaha, that would be awesome!!!

    My wife and I were just married in June of last year. She is not a nerd and, knowing this, I threatened a LOTR-themed wedding for about four months prior to the event. We talked about a Frodo bearing the ring; every time she asked what I wanted, I said "the one ring, morder etchings and all; and I even threatened to make her Dad dress up like Gandalf, my Dad dress up like Aragorn, myself dress up like an Elf, etc. I guess she knew I was too lazy to pull it off, but you all know it would be the mad nooch if someone actually pulled it off!

    That would be wonderful, I considered some of the elvish headbands on etsy as part of my outfit, the problem is my boyfriend and I like too many geeky things to pick a solid theme, I also want the whole wedding party in converse and for my boyfriend to dress like the tenth doctor potentially haha. I could be like Donna in her wedding dress, ha! But along with lord of the rings we'd be tempted to also include Star Wars and doctor who, and Harry potter lol. Either ways it's guaranteed there will be some sort of subtle (or not so subtle...) geeky theme. We even discussed replacing the theme to walk down the aisle with a Jurassic park theme instead.. :love:

    I think you could easily pull of a unified theme. Just make it all geek! Your wedding would look like a Smash Bros. cage match. The crowd would be like Link, Storm Troopers, Mario, Gandalf, Dr. (jk) Who, Bowser, Zelda, DK and Diddy, Mr. Sulu, barrels of tribbles (whatever they are from ST, I'm no Trekkie), a gigantic 7-foot Predator walking around, maybe Conan the Barbarian, definitely half-naked men wielding swords, etc. I think the randomness would unify it.

    Also, if that ever happens, can I pay to come and at least have a guy video tape it?

    Doctor...Dr...Doc....Doctor...

    Who?

    Its really more like an Ed.D. rather than an M.D. right? I mean he uses a screwdriver...

    My doctor flies around in a midbulk transport, standard radion-accelerator core, classcode 03-K64, Firefly.

    (j/k with lots of love to you Whovians)

    edit to add: (PS I love my Ed.Ds out there as well given that will be my terminal degree)

    I don't know where I belong. I wrote my first computer program when I was 11 and I've played MUDs for years before any of these graphic MMORPGs. I'm not a "hip geek". So I really don't know if I should answer this calling :-)

    Um, there is something inherently wrong with this post. What the hell is wrong with pubs?! I get my geek on at pubs; pub trivia! Plus, I like beer, and I pretend to be a craft beer geek.

    I have made great strides in my nerdom this week though. I was finally able to prioritize my time and only play video games for a few hours and actually get some stuff done like dishes and laundry. You know, because sometimes that stuff is important...

    There is something wrong here; when did nerds and geeks become an exclusive club?! There are probably more of my non-geek friends who know about my latest DnD character than my geek friends. Of my less than nerdy friends will come up and say something like, "I just saw the Wolverine movie and I thought he got his claws in that lab place.", and I will say "let me cure that ignorance." As nerds and geeks, it is our duty, our privilege, to welcome all. To break down these barriers and let everyone know that it is okay to roll a 1 from time to time! Just don't let the dice hit the floor. NEVER....let the dice hit the floor.


    F THAT! You know how frustrating it is seeing the same people that used to beat me up for reading comics talking about how much they loved The Avengers?? I very much dig that all things nerdy are finally getting their proper respect. But unless you know what the Tesseract Cube was ORIGINALLY called I don't want to hear how big a fan you are of Marvel...by which you mean 3-4 blockbuster movies that everyone loved. I was there during the hard times, man! I bought my 6 copies of X-Men 1 so I could get all the holograph cards. I remember the days when you couldn't even get decent super hero cartoons, much less feature films. I had to watch as the Hulk turned gray and Spider-Man had a thousand ****ty clones. I paid my dues!

    Now I gotta see hot girls put on fake glasses and pretend to be nerds, because they think Robert Downey Jr. is hot. Get outta my treehouse!! No stoopid girlz allowed!!

    :glasses: :explode: :glasses: :angry: NERD RAGE!!

    (please don't take this seriously)


    the clone saga was the sh****est thing to happen to spider-man... until they put doc ock mind in his body. thankfully that is supposed to end soon.

    I'm wearing a Buffy shirt in my profile pic, that counts for something right?

    Let me see, I play video games (Mass Effect and Dragon Age are my favorites), I've read A Song of Ice and Fire twice, and I ship evvvverrryyyyything that can be shipped. I get ridiculously too into my fandoms (Buffy, aSoIaF and lately Once Upon a Time).

    I also like pubs though. I can only be me, stop trying to put a label on it!!! :p (jk)

    I am a huge geek. My husband and I LOVED the Titanfall beta, and I actively cosplay and go to conventions. If it's nerdy, it's me!
