Gaze upon the greatness that is OBT member "Reenie's" geeky, silly, timely, comic book-style wedding invitation!
Reenie 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.'"
So in featuring these invites we both hope that it inspires someone else to let their inner geek flag fly!

Gorgeous!
As gifts to my spouse's friends, who were mega-awesome attendants, we got pocket watches engraved with the Hylian Crest. I surprised by spouse by getting him one, too

I am vaguely ashamed that I no comics were included in my wedding…. but no way would they have been this awesome.
