The offbeat bride: Becky, scientist/grant editor (and Tribe member)

Her offbeat partner: Aaron, iPhone software developer

Date and location of wedding: Heather's Glen, Conroe, TX — May 14, 2011

What made our wedding offbeat: Robots. That and the fact that we made our wedding exactly the way we wanted it. We looked at all the traditions and decided to use only those that were meaningful to us — the rest got dumped. From a distance, our wedding looked like most small, southern weddings. There was a bride in a white dress and bridesmaids in matching dresses and men in tuxedos. Up close, the traditional wedding started to get fuzzy.

I chose not to wear a veil. My dad walked me down the aisle, but he sat down when we got to the end. He didn't give me away (in fact, I walked the last six feet or so by myself). We didn't do a bouquet or garter toss and I didn't even wear a garter. Aaron and I spent the night before together, and the whole wedding party got ready together (we had donuts and kolaches and the XBox set up for playing Portal 2).

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.

If you've been a reader of OBB for a while you will recognize the name Whitney Lee Photography — we've gotten so much amazing wedding porn from this Austin, Texas...
