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.)

  1. Sarv, I can't believe I'm the first to comment. (I even waited a day to see if someone else got all the movies.)

    I don't get to see a lot pf movies so ot was nice to see some classics in there. I say that even though I only got 2 for sure, Where the Wild Things Are and The sound of Music. I think the top one might be It's a Wonderful Life. I'm stumped on the rest. Sorry. Love the blog post, though, especially the bottom photo. ;-)

    1. The Sound of Music is correct, Suzanne! :-)

      And thank you!

    2. Nuts. Is that the only one I got? 1 out of 19? That's like, um, something just over 5%. I'll never win the name that movie prize. Did someone actually get them all? (Why don't you email me the answers, you know, so I can kick myself.) ;-)

  2. West Side Story, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Clueless, Dirty Dancing, Ghost Busters, Karate Kid, Sound of Music, Indiana Jones, Cutting Edge and Overboard? I can't even guess the other ones.
