Nov 25 2009Geeky Comic Book Style Wedding Invitation
When I get married again
If I ever get married again
If any of my friends are ever talking about getting married I'm gonna suggest they make similar wedding invitations.
Reenie [the future bride] sez, "The wording [on the back] is my favorite part. It reads: '[We] request the honor of your presence as two geeks save the princess, resist the dark side and pledge their lives (extra, or otherwise) to each other.' And we snuck a Hyrulian crest in there too!"
With adorableness like that can you believe she actually had doubts about using these invitations!? Mostly for fear that the older generations wouldn't "get it." But then she realized, "if people don't like the invites then they probably won't get the 'Mario Kart Love Song' that plays on our wedsite, or the lightsaber duel mid-ceremony, or the gaming stations or my Death Cab for Cutie inspired wedding tattoo, or any of the other stuff that is 'us.'"
I assume you lost my address or something, because I haven't gotten my invite yet. Also, what's the open bar situation at the reception? What do you mean you aren't having one? Oh, here's my invitation! Yeah, not gonna be able to make it.
Amazing comic book style invitation [offbeatbride]
Thanks to Vicky, who rode a unicorn away from her wedding instead of a tacky convertible with baked bean cans clanking along behind.

And that's a marriage that'll last.
Unless of course someone fires down its uncovered thermal exhaust port.

Ironically, what Ackbar says is completely true in this case.

"IanTakesABride.com"? Really? I don't even feel like clicking on that to go see what it's about, but, really?
This is kinda.. I donno. They forgot a LOLCAT, and a Rick Roll.

good
17. h3llc4t - November 27, 2009 12:22 AM
Yeah, because that'll be funny/cute when they look back at the invitation a year from now.
"Hey honey, remember that short-lived meme about that gentleman interrupting that young lady's speech? Wasn't it great? Gee, I'm glad we decided to include dated topical humor in our invitation to a major life event. The wedding just wouldn't be the same without it."

Some of you are serious haters. I think this invitation is 100% awesome and wonderfully tongue-in-cheek. Of course the art isn't of professional standard - though it's pretty good compared to your average person's drawing ability - it's clearly meant to be "fun", so it's drawn in a fun, geektacular way.
Seriously, I thought the "YOU MUST HAVE PROFESSIONALLY DONE ENGRAVED INVITATIONS" BS was the stuff of theknot.com or some other conformist-happy website, not Geekologie.
This makes me sad.

Wow some people are jerks. Some of you aren't. Jenna, you said it right.
I absolutely love these invitations. They're not boring, they don't look like every other person's invitation. They're personal, they're fun, they're friggen AWESOME.
Stop hating on them just because they actually have some lovable qualities about them unlike the pricks dicks and losers some people have turned into.
