Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Our wedding was a mix of styles and things that we like. As much as I do love theme parties, picking one proved difficult, so we threw it all in. We combined our loved of sci-fi (with lots of Doctor Who touches including Dalek cake toppers), and my love of carnival and vintage style with my husband's love of history.

Offbeat lite incorporating robots, an iPhone cake, light sabers, and motherboards is exactly what these two are all about — geeky, awesome, and true to themselves. You'll love all the robot details and beaker centerpieces.

The Offbeat Flickr Pool boasted some amazing bridespaint, funky bands, sci-fi invites, and some cowboy rainboots. I predict you'll love this week's Monday Montage.

A screaming R2-D2 ring bearer, a bearded Leia, cave duels, and ritual sacrifice of delicious Jabba the Hutt. The force is strong with this wedding.

Our chuppah's design was inspired by the Jetsons cartoons, 50s-era "googie" architecture like the Theme Building at LAX, and movies like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Stacey & Mike had a post-legal-wedding handfasting. Stacey had her mom, whom she described as her best friend, be one of her bridesmaids and she wore a beautiful long red dress.

Did you jaw totally drop when you saw a sneak peak of Ginny & Rob's amazing red rock wedding last week? Perhaps it was the freakin' full-size TARDIS that blew your gourd? Or maybe your a fan from way back when we featured her Star Wars poster STDs? All I can say is that this wedding is awesome and proves that you and/or your event can be nerdy and incredibly gorgeous. – Becc

You may or may not know that I'm a total dork, even Ariel attested to that fact during her last book reading. So every now and then when we get geeky wedding submitted to us, or when someone submits their photos to the Flickr pool, I get SUPER excited when I see really geeky cakes. Please to enjoy some of my favorites.
