Default Nerdcore Wedding Plans

MASSIVELY funky news, everyone!

I am presently planning my ultimate nerd-core wedding. The event will celebrate love, live action role playing, fandoms, filesharing, and crazy obscure cult music perfect for freaks like us.

THE LOCATION -

Portmeirion, UK - on the set of The 1967 BBC cult classic, The Prisoner!



The Costumes

I will be LARPing as Number 48 - the anarchistic chaotic-neutral character in the final episode.



My partner will be dressed in the finest Victorian splendor and will carry a replica of Kaylee's parasol from Firefly.



The Invites

Each guest will receive an invitation themed in their favorite fandom, and will be invited to show up dressed as their favorite character.

The Music

My favorite DJ from the UK will be spinning all our favorite music - Doctor John, Tom Waits, the Funky Meters, Skull Snaps, Lemon Jelly, and other delightful madness.

The Ring - A Symbol of Love... and Piracy



Together, my lady and I came up with the perfect concept for my ring. Pictured below is an uncirculated coin from the micronation of Sealand. It is one of the only items ever produced by the country. Sealand is the home of HavenCo - a pirate server network responsible for petabytes of filesharing traffic. Fortunately, the prince of Sealand has made piracy legal in their country by royal decree.



This coin - one of approx. 1000 in the world, will be formed into a wedding band by a silversmith in Oregon.



My lady is a proud anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist, and as such she hates diamonds and gold. Also the thrifty type, she challenged me to find a beautiful antique 1920s-era engagement and wedding ring for under $100. Mission accomplished and she is going to LOVE what I've put together for her. (Keepin' that under wraps for now.)

Officially becoming Lord and Lady

We are also submitting applications for Lord and Ladyship of Sealand.



The Proposal

The proposal will take place at the famous Genesee Country Museum which features costumed interpreters in restored historic buildings, breathing life into an authentic 19th-Century village.

We'll be dressed in full period regalia and I'll surprise her in the music parlor of the octagon house, built in 1870.



The Catering

We are thrilled to have Cereal Killers - the finest selections of breakfast cereal from all over the world, catering our event!



I'll likely get a projector and show a VHS of 80s cartoons during the reception.



We're crafting all the event decor ourselves, we're designing all the print media, and our photographer friends will capture the entire event for reddit to fawn over.

It's going to be an incredible wedding.
