Anli & Laura's Lesbian Gamer Geek Wedding

[Veruca Salt]

http://offbeatbride.com/2009/10/lesbian-gamer-wedding/#referrer

What made our wedding offbeat: We wanted a ceremony that reflected our geeky, romantic, pink aesthetic, while at the same time being profound and meaningful. Our ceremony was themed around the video game Portal and the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena.

We incorporated lots of geeky details, from the table names (Revolution, Sierra, Katara and GLaDOS) to the choice of music. We also kept several traditional elements such as bouquets, dresses and bridesmaids. However, we both walked down the aisle unaccompanied and skipped the garter/bouquet toss.

And the one thing I didn't realize from the article:

Because we can't legally be wed in Australia, we had a good friend officiate and he did a great job.

I read up on the status of marriage equality in Australia and found they actually have a similar law to DOMA. :-( Anyway, I loved this article being a gamer geek lesbian myself I hope to one day be able to do the same. They really did such a lovely job for their wedding!

Mods if this is in the incorrect forum or a dup (I searched but didn't find the title) please fix.

4. Isn't it just?

Though I long for the day when the title could just be 'Gamer Geek Wedding' without having to point out the fact they're gay. We're getting there though!

2. So what you're really saying is......

Seriously, congratulations to you.

3. DUzy on the cake quip!

That didn't even cross my mind and I'm a huge Portal fan!

Not me, congrats to them! But I hope to one day have a similar wedding, still looking for Ms Right. :)

I thought this was such a feel good article though, it really brightened my day and thought it might for any other gay gamer geeks out there.
