When Geeks Wed: The Details

It's been 6 months, but I thought it might be time to share some of the details from the biggest theme party I ever threw, a.k.a. my wedding.

So, without further ado, here are some of the bookish/geeky/silly details from our big day.


I made the bridesmaid bouquets (and part of mine) out of pages from Harry Potter and Pride & Prejudice. I was pretty proud of how they turned out. Cutting up books, however, felt wrong from beginning to end despite it being for a good cause.

Speaking of Harry Potter...


...there was a lot of him at the wedding.

Our guest book:



Our cake toppers:

Why, yes. That is Gandalf and Dumbledore getting hitched. What of it?


There was confetti on the dance floor.




There was the Doctor on the dance floor.



And there was trivia.



My husband painted scenes from some of our favorite movies and guests had to guess what the movies where. Do you want to play along? Then I shall post all of them below. Feel free to see how many you can get in the comments. (Click on the photos to enlarge them.)
