A geektastic costume shindig featuring winged shoes, fist bumps, and a groom dressed like Indiana Jones

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Sean is a pretty massive Indiana Jones fan — what with the fact that he dressed up as Indy for his wedding and all. His equally costume-enthusiastic bride, Urania, swapped out her full-length wedding gown for a N7 (the special forces in Mass Effect) ensemble later in the night, and costumes donned by guests included Harry Potter, knights, and a Gingerbread Man.

There are also skull cake toppers, red polka-dot flats, and centerpieces featuring posts from various horror movies (including The Shining).

Nathalia & Rafael’s movie-themed wedding and going-away party

Clapperboards, film rolls, and superheroes, oh my! It must be a movie-themed wedding… this time in Brazil! The couple planned to head off to London the day after the wedding, so it was a whole lot of packing and planning to make this all come together in time. And we think you’ll love the adorable moments during the ceremony. Here’s a hint: the groom may have futzed up rock-paper-scissors!

EJ & Nathan’s horror movies and octopodes beach wedding

Let me just lay this right here: a tentacle aisle, tentacle bouquets, a pineapple print dress, fold-out fan programs, horror movie centerpieces, and a flesh-eating martian owlopus. You read that right. Oh, and some sage advice meant for a pre-teen that totally applies to all of us. Let us know if you spot the MINGLO, too!

Edwina & Matthew’s Jane Austen meets pop-culture wedding

The bride’s custom Regency era-style gown was enough to get me digging this wedding, but it’s also got a cake with LoTR and Green Lantern details, geeky place card quotes, a Ghostbusters and Wagner processional, and a no-joke killer gorgeous venue. They may have encountered some geek-wary resistance at first, but who wouldn’t be won over by this Jane Austen-meets- geek wedding?
