Nerd wedding

Someone should have turned a flamethrower on this wedding.

Shit like that always makes my mind boggle.

Isn't there a pal or a close relative who tells these people that it's a bad idea. I don't see how anyone's close circle of friends can't poke fun at having Boba Fett and Batgirl showing up to your wedding.

But, hey...it's Tennessee.

You can't get married if you're gay. But, if you strap on a lightsaber and a size XXL tunic, you're cool to walk down the aisle.

As embarrasing as that is, it could have been worse. Imagine if he'd had a kessel run-away bride.


Oh Jesus, I am SO sorry.

They saved it for the wedding reception.

I would have been embarrassed to be there, but when Jeremy Bulloch showed up it put a huge smile on my face.

Jeremy Bulloch, huh... so that's the name of the guy who filled out the Boba Fett suit (most of the time). I'll be sure to remember that for the Star Wars edition of Trivial Pursuit.

It was much more entertaining at first when I thought they were talking about JM J Bullock.

Why do I have to not guess what joke was cracked when the ring was given after the nerd IMed his wife to marry him?

Hell during honeymoon night, nerd boy might get confused and what to do and they'll have bellybutton sex, thinking everything went fine.

The bride is dressed as Jennifer Connelly from Labyrinth? She's wearing a wedding dress...isn't that the same thing, really? It's like wearing a tux and saying you're supposed to be Steve Guttenberg from Diner.

That has to be the worst reveal ever. Jeremy Bulloch could take off his Boba Fett helmet and hold up a sign saying HEY, GUYS, I'M JEREMY BULLOCH while handing me his driver's license and I still wouldn't know who he was.

Although I can't talk too much shit on nerd weddings. I forced all of my relatives to slow-dance to Miss Piggy's wedding song from MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN while I stood there laughing like a motherfucker, so stones and glass houses and all that.

Jeremy Bulloch was a guest stranger at Jeremy Bulloch's wedding.

He was also quite Devistated when Temuera Morrison Dubbed over his wedding video.

"It’s just instant camaraderie with everyone here," he said. "That’s what’s so cool about ‘Star Wars.’ "

It's like making friends, without the effort!
post #17 of 133
I can just imagine the conversation going on in the super-hero photo:

Spidey: "I thought you said the invite was for a super-hero party."
Batgirl: "Just shut up and be glad no one can see who you are."
Catwoman: "I hope this doesn't take long, my little brother needs these goggles for his swim meet."
Supergirl: "I'm pretty!"

If a friend of mine suggested a wedding like that, I'd kill him and bury him in my backyard.

I think people who get married at Walt Disney World are way worse than this. Nerd weddings are a dime a dozen. Walt Disney World actually has wedding packages because so many freakin people want to get married there. It's insane.

*Edit: I just went to their website. They have several different packages catering to weddings, vow renewals and honeymoons. They have quite the racket going.

I'd be embarrassed for recognizing Jeremy Bulloch.

The US Airfoce is bombing all the wrong weddings.
post #22 of 133
Different strokes for different folks. My reception was also a costume party (the wedding was held a couple of months earlier), not themed, but costumes nonetheless. We had everything from Jedis, stormtroopers, wizards and zombies, to greasers, cowboys, French aristocracy, naughty lesbian nuns and Barbie. Scoff if you must, but we had a fucking blast and everyone agreed it was the most entertaining and memorable reception they had ever attended (we were also passing out pot cookies, so that probably helped.)

We made the DJ play Schoolhouse Rock songs and TV show themes during the dinner hour.

No Jeremy Bulloch for you?

He was busy selling blood for rent money that day.

He's a busy man. You can't expect him to show up at every sci-fi/fantasy themed wedding. I mean, maybe if he had clones...

I just realized that he's at the top right of this picture smiling maniacally. Like an overseer. Creepy!

It kind of looks like someone is holding up an unhelmeted Boba Fett action figure with a Jeremy Bulloch head sculpt.

Hey, this is probably his first hot meal in thirty years.

ZOMG, 2 MASTUR CHEEFS!!!1

post #30 of 133
Whats really creepy is A) this was an indoor wedding, and B) so many people came dressed as ents.

The thing about those is your input basically ends once the check is signed. They plan everything, and if you don't like it, well, the Shriners hall might be available on short notice.

Isn't he a little short for a Master chief?

If by roll you mean going down hill at a rapid rate, I'd be inclined to agree.

Goddamn, if I was there and not aware of what was going on I would've thought I had walked onto the set of Buckaroo Banzai.

The bride's look on her face - "If I walk straight ahead and don't make eye contact, this will all seem like a dream."

Until she see the pictures. Again and again.

When I do means; "I'm a loser"....

Say what you will, I'd rather go to a wedding like this than the vast majority of "it's the bride's SPECIAL DAY" overwrought, too-expensive exercises in conspicuous consumerism and one-upmanship.
post #41 of 133
Dude, Spider-Man was there. And Supergirl. And Master Chief! This was a crossover of mammoth fucking proportions.
post #42 of 133
it could be worse. They could have gotten married at the Mall of America and walked down the isle to the Orange Julius.

I nearly agree with this sentiment. And it's over in a day... but you pay for a lifetime. Lighten up, people. If I had the chance to do it over again, it would be on a beach in the Carribbean with a handful of people. Painless and simple, and not a year's worth of planning.

Really... Howzabout a MacDonald's wedding: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/lo...l=ny-li-bigpix

I've made it very clear that, do what you want with the ceremony, but at the wedding reception, there will be Xboxes with Guitar Hero, and there will be karaoke. Take it or leave it.

Here's another wedding thing that makes no sense. A man will probably have a good number of occasions in his life where he can wear a tuxedo. A woman wears her wedding dress once. Yet which gets bought and which gets rented?

Madness.

Hell yeah. Had mine in Dominican Republic last February. You have no idea how smooth it went. We had an hour meeting to determine what we wanted for the wedding, and that was it. 3 hours before the ceremony, I was still on the beach sipping alcohol-laden coconuts. and it was fairly cheap compared to most bloated wedding I've been to..

In one fell swoop, you've blown my mind.

It seems that way until you consider that the default would be to buy both, so it's actually kind of a deal to not have to buy the outfit that doesn't require a ton of adjustment to fit a specific person's body. Getting fitted for a tux is a snap - if the pants don't fit, they have another pair in back. Wedding dresses require a lot more involved tweaking, so it's pretty understandable why they're generally not rented.

Besides, the most likely instance of me wearing a tux again? Standing up for someone else's wedding - which means I wouldn't be able to wear the tux I wore for my wedding, anyway. What's the point of owning a tux when, assuming you don't regularly attend high society functions, a lifetime's worth of rentals is probably cheaper, and you have more options?

I'd be too embarassed to be at this nerd wedding to have a good time. Seriously, you have to be pretty committed to extended adolescence to make this part of the ceremony - save it for the reception, at least. I was at a wedding a few years ago, and the officiant went into an extended monologue about the Lord of the Rings mid-ceremony - that was off-putting enough.
