Oct 31 2009 'Tis The Season: For A Zombie Wedding Cake
Is there any better way to celebrate a couple's undying love and devotion for one another than with a zombie wedding cake? There is not. As you can see, the cake features the lovely couple on top fighting off a horde of the undead with chainsaws. Can you say romantic? This reminds me of the time I took a girl out in highschool and accidentally ran over a bum with my dad's car on the way to makeout point and made he swear she'd never tell anybody I received straight A's and gave a speech at the graduation ceremony. Whew, good recovery, GW.
Hit the jump for a shot of the lucky couple whose marriage may or may not end in a 911 call about a domestic stabbing (it's totally going to).

Oct 25 2009 Gutsy: This Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake
Listen, if you can convince your wife that a dead tauntaun would make the perfect wedding cake I WANT YOU TO HOLD ON TO THAT WOMAN. I want you to hold on tighter than you do the dashboard when she's driving (I've seen your knuckles! Also, the way she drives). That said, you think they cut the cake with a lightsaber? I mean, it's only appropriate. Also, a slave Leia jumping out and humming the Star Wars theme. What can I say, I'm a natural wedding planner.
Hit the jump for four more shots, including a cute Stormtrooper couple.
Oct 10 2009 Gears Of War: A Steampunk Wedding Cake
This is a steampunk wedding cake created by Mike's Amazing Cakes in Seattle, WA and photographed by Libby Bulloff. I want to put my face in it so bad. I heart fondant!
Liz and Austin's steampunked wedding cake. The metallic gears, doors, rivets, and panels were all made of fondant and were entirely edible. This is probably the baddest-ass wedding cake you will ever see. Respect.
Best part: the cake tasted just as decadent as it looked! I had a slice of the lemon layer after photographing it.
Anybody else like the title I came up with? Thanks, I thought that was pretty clever myself. Gears Of War: A Steampunk Wedding Cake. Because marriage is like a war or something. Except mine. Mine was like GW genocide.

Jul 22 2009 Robot Built To Model Wedding Dresses
'Miimu', a HRP-4C robot, is seen here being utilized as a runway model for Japanese fashion designer Yumi Katsura's line of bridal gowns. And, since I know women so well, I'll give you men a little insight into how their minds work.
"I really love this dress -- but how would it look on a robot?"Which brings up another disconcerting thought -- robot marriage. And you know what's sad? They'll probably allow unholy robotic matrimony before gay marriage. And that, my friends, makes me want to blow up the moon. And I don't even care if it's delicious cheese.
It's a nice day for a robot wedding [metro]
Thanks to Doctor Steel and Graf Zeppelin, who together form Doctor Graf Steel Zeppelin, which, you know, is pretty cool.
Jun 22 2009 I Do BLAAAHHH!: First Weightless Wedding
Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmor got married over the weekend while hovering weightlessly in the back of an airplane. Allegedly it's the first weightless wedding, provided if you don't count the time I married alien in outerspace (read: I was probed, hard).
To recreate the weightless experience without going into space, the plane executed parabolic flight maneuvers, climbing sharply and descending several times during the one-hour flight.Inside the 90-foot-long padded "floating zone," the ceremony was accomplished with a lot of bumping and fumbling, as bride and groom, guests and witnesses alike tried to coordinate their movements in a microgravity environment.
Nice. And in the famous words of Billy Idol, "It's a nice day for a weightless wedding, it's a nice day to...horf again, BLAAAH!"

May 14 2009 *PEW PEW*, NOM NOM: An AT-AT Cake
This is an amazing AT-AT cake created by Jennifer Luxmore (and friends) of Sin Desserts. It took 60 hours to build and would typically sell for around $5,000. Stale.
The legs and base [of the Star Wars AT-AT cake] are wood, covered in gum paste and the cake is the head and body. I was in charge of baking, covering it in fondant and covering the legs with the gum paste.
The cake was a new cake for us... the Guiness Cake. and the background was hand painted by Joe. All of the people involved in the cake are artists of some sort and it took (everyone combined) about 60 hours (background painting, leg and body cut outs, covering, cake/covering, assembly and painting) so we figured the cake to come in some where around $5,000 at the low end.
Hit the jump to see a few more shots, as well as some shots of a ridiculous Millennium Falcon cake that Jennifer also made. Then, cry about how you can't even bake cupcakes without burning them. YOU WILL NEVER MAKE A GOOD WIFE!

Apr 10 2009 Ashley, This Is Joseph, Will You Marry Me?
Ashley, Joseph wants you to marry him. And I trust Joseph's judgment since you're the one that introduced him to Geekologie in the first place. Plus, I'll vouch for him too since he did send me a news tip once and I used it. Obviously you both have great taste. In addition, you two make a very beautiful looking couple. And that's not just the awesome king's throne you're sitting on talking! But if it could, it would say "Geekologie Writer, sit thine rear upon my seat and dine on this most delicious turkey leg". And there would be mead, and I would drink it out of a jeweled goblet. *sniff* I told myself I wouldn't cry.
Ashely and Joseph met during a school musical in 2004 and have been going steady ever since. For their first date they went to see Passion of The Christ, which is arguably the world's greatest date movie. Joseph wailed like a baby.
So, as you two go forth and continue to nourish each other in mind, body and spirit, remember: a couple that Geekologie's together, is really sick has a strong foundation and great sense of humor.
In all seriousness though, I wish you two the best.
So, Ashley, will you marry Joseph?
Mar 27 2009 Sure, Why Not?: 'I Do' Wedding Bands
'I Do' wedding bands were created by Sakurako Shimizu and are similar to waveform bracelets but much more matrimonial. They were cast in palladium and 18K gold and feature a waveform version of the words "I do". Of course, if you were smart you'd sneakily have an "I don't" cast. That way, when you're caught groping another woman's teat at the bar you can just point to your ring and mouth the words "I don't" to your wife, who may or may not douse you with a Jager shot and stiletto you in the nads. But hey, boobs ARE the spice of life. And also, glitterstim. Now who's down for a Kessel Run?
Hit the jump for another pic and a link to artist's website, which also features a pretty badass Atari chip ring.
Feb 26 2009 Billy Idol's 'White Wedding', The Literal Version
This is the literal music video for Billy Idol's 'White Wedding'. I'm mostly posting it because I have a special affinity for Billy. You see, I went to see The Who perform Quadrophenia and Billy Idol made a special appearance dressed as a bell boy when they played the appropriately titled 'Bell Boy'. Then they broke into "White Wedding" and Billy scanned the entire crowd before flipping me the bird. Out of all those people, he chose ME to flick off! I haven't blinked since. Love you Billy! What do you say -- me, you, a white wedding? Sleep on it.

Jan 30 2009 Guy Builds Six Cheese Fountain From Talladega Nights For His Wedding Reception
I only made it ten minutes deep into Talladega Nights so I have no idea when or where the mention of a six-cheese nacho cheese fountain is, but that's not really important anyway. What's important is that some guy named Seth was determined to make one for his wedding, and did. And I think I speak for all of us when I say, my God that's classy.
Hit the jump for several more pictures and video of the cheese-whiz in action.

Jan 28 2009 Exclusive Follow Up: A Match Made In Halo
Remember Desirai Labrada and John Henry, the couple that met playing Halo and planned on getting married this month in a Halo-themed wedding at Otronicon? Well they did it folks, the couple is how happily married and PEW PEWing away to their hearts content together.
The ceremony started just after 1 p.m. in the Science Center's theater. Onstage, a screenshot from Ivory Tower, one of the wedding couple's favorite "Halo" levels, was projected, and a string quartet played songs from the game's soundtrack. Atop an incline of stadium seating, Master Chief began his walk down to the stage followed by John and his groomsmen, their ties marked with the winged-sword emblem of John's "Halo" character. Bridesmaids -- including a matron of honor who just months before had confessed that she didn't know who Master Chief was -- proceeded to their positions. And then, instead of "Here Comes the Bride," Desirai entered to the dramatic score of the "Halo" menu music.
Awesome. Congratulations Desirai and John, Geekologie wishes you the best and many kills to come. Also, I've been inspired to have my own video-game themed wedding the next time I get married. Zelda all the way, baby. Isn't that right honey? Honey? Goddammit.

Nov 19 2008 Really? That's The Best You Could Do?
In a story that reminds me of every wedding I've ever gone to where they set out disposable cameras so you can take pictures, some dude took a snapshot of his junk with his iPhone. And, after emailing it to his mistress, his girlfriend found it. Oh snap! So what did the no-good cheating bastard do? Simple, he blamed it on Apple.
The Fanboy's excuse was that he had taken the picture but never sent it to anyone. In fact he was so worried about his Iphone taking the picture that he said had paid a visit to the ironically named Apple Genius Bar. There he swore that a spokesman for apple had told him that it was a known glitch. Photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent, he swore blind that the Genius told him.
Well folks, I think we can all walk away from this having learned a valuable lesson. One about, oh I don't know, making up better lies.
Help! Iphone snapped my husband's genitals [theinquirer]
Thanks to Michael, who doesn't take pictures of himself in the mirror for his Facebook profile.
Aug 7 2008 Star Wars Wedding: A Match Made A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away....
This is a picture from a recent Star Wars themed wedding. They went all out, and every single person at the ceremony was dressed up as a character or in Star Wars fashion. The marriage was even officiated by Princess Leia herself. Which totally explains why the groom decided to rock a Mon Calamari mask -- he was ogling those boobies during the ceremony! Well played sir, I like your style.
Hit the jump for a couple more MUST SEE pictures, including photographic evidence of my claim, the sweet AT-AT cake and Ewok cupcakes, a pretty wicked Han Solo, the obvious mother-in-law, and a much larger picture of Leia, you know, because I love you guys. There's also a link to the Flickr gallery, which contains over 1,200 photos of the event.
UPDATE: And did anybody else notice the freakish similarity between this picture and the Comic-Con picture in the So Freaking Cool section to the right?

Jun 13 2008 ZOMG!: Epic Mario-Themed Wedding Cake
Truthfully, we've seen some pretty stunning Mario edibles in the past, but this one might very well take the cake (I'm a stupid a-hole!). At first glance I thought this was a Super Mario Galaxy themed cake, but it's actually Mario Kart (the interplanetary scene is Rainbow Road, check the other pics for a better angle). Wow, just wow. Amazing work. I would have loved to have something like this at my wedding, but I got hitched at one of those drive-thru's in Vegas. It was a McDonald's and we had a hash brown cake with ketchup icing. What can I say, I was marrying a whore.

Apr 24 2008 Get You Wii Mii Turned Into A Real Sculpture
When I first got a Wii I spent over an hour making a perfect representation of myself in Wii Mii form. Needless to say, it's fugly as shite. But if your Mii turned out better than mine you can now get it made into a real sculpture. You just send Miisculptures $75 and a picture of Wii Yii (you) and they'll make a 4-inch tall physical model. If you're interested in using them as wedding cake toppers they'll do two of them for $140. And if your wife does let you use them as a cake topper, I have two words for you: holdon tight. You've got a good woman. I do not. I just casually suggested I wanted a video-game (Zelda) themed wedding and you know what she did? She kicked me in the grapes and started crying. You know what theme we ended up settling on? Pretty pretty princess. God, please take me now.
Two more pictures of Bill Gates and Chuck Norris miis they made after the jump.

Mar 3 2008 Man Gives Wife Steampunk Mac For Wedding
Dave Veloz built this sweet little steampunk Mac Mini for his wife-to-be and give it to her for their wedding. Doesn't it look good? It's so heartwarming to know there are still people in the world who care about their significant other enough to do/make things for them. It's just so damn romantic. Almost as romantic as the gift I gave my wife on the day of our wedding. Yep, beat an unidentified VD from the stripper at the bachelor party, Mr. Steampunk Mac Mini. Oooh, burned! Tell your wife to call me when she's looking for a man who really knows how to treat his lady.
A bunch more of the beautiful computer after the jump.

Feb 21 2008 Killer Engagement Ring Can Actually Kill
Tobias Wong designed a line of engagement rings with the razor-sharp diamond pointing up. He believes that the engagement ring, long a symbol of unholy matrimony, should also be able to maim and/or kill. When fitted with a 1 karat or larger diamond, the otherwise unimposing ring becomes a lethal weapon. I like it, but already have a deadly ring. Sure it's just my plain gold wedding band, but it's definitely killing me. Slowly. I like to call it my torture ring. Horrible, horrible mistake.

Jan 4 2008 Geek Weddings Are So Freaking Awesome
Above this text you'll find a video montage of geek weddings, along with some generally geeky couples. Apparently there are a lot more Star Wars and Star Trek themed weddings going on than I thought. Which is awesome, and I'm totally gonna crash the shit out of the next one. Literally. I'm gonna fly my X-wing fighter into the banquet hall and crash land that bitch right in the punchbowl.
