30 geek movie love quotes

Slogging through traditional love quotes can be taxing, especially when you just want something that tingles that geek-loving robot heart of yours. We root for the geeky underdog to get the girl and hope the battle over evil ends in a big snog. And we need something relatable for our ceremony readings, invitation wording, and pop culture-filled vows, right? You demand nerdy romance, funny vow ideas, and swashbuckling toast fodder from movies, TV, and a few books? As you wish…

A barn wedding among the fall leaves

Molly and Scott are bad-assery in motion: awesome music-making, smoking in the boy’s room, dreadlock-sporting hip kids. They celebrated at Clay Hill Farm (a perfect fit for this week’s Barnacle theme!), and everything looked divine against the changing leaves of Maine in October.

Fancy cake adorably attacked by cheerful octopodes

We’ve got a steamy, tentacle-filled wedding coming soon, and we wanted to give you a little preview in the form of their striped and rose-bedecked cake getting consumed by swirly green tentacles. Oh, and two of the sweetest little octopodes took up residence at the top to hug it out.

Bagpipes, redwoods, and fiddles at this Big Sur Pi Day wedding

We love seeing couples get married on Pi Day, but Jeanne and Nick took it one step further and had the ceremony begin at 1:59, making their anniversary an even longer form of the abridged number: 3.14159! Jeanne walked in to bagpipes and let her fab Black Milk leggings peek out as she walked toward the ceremony. And then we got to see the first of many photos of Nick’s expression that make me swoon.
