# Lesbian Gamer Weddings The Anli and Laura Offbeat Union Combines the Best of All Worlds By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-10-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anli-and-laura-offbeat-union References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/26/awesome-gamer-geek-l.html) & [offbeatbride](http://offbeatbride.com/2009/10/lesbian-gamer-wedding) Do you ever read about weddings and wish that you had been invited? That is how I feel about the the Anli and Laura offbeat union. These lovely lasses committed themselves to everlasting love with a wedding that would make any Manga/D&D freak jealous. The Australian couple (who, in case you are blind, are both women) made it a DIY affair, and incorporated their love of gaming throughout--for example, naming tables after different comics and having an anime-inspired cake topper. Check out the gallery to see some great pictures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Weddings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating online platforms or services that provide resources and inspiration for couples looking to plan unique and personalized DIY weddings. - **Incorporating Hobbies Into Weddings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing niche wedding planning businesses that specialize in incorporating specific hobbies or interests into wedding themes and decor. - **Non-traditional Wedding Elements:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing and producing unconventional wedding products and services that cater to couples who want to break away from traditional wedding norms. ### Where This Applies - **Online Wedding Planning Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating digital platforms that offer comprehensive wedding planning tools, resources, and vendor recommendations for couples planning their own unique weddings. - **Hobby-centric Wedding Planners:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establishing specialized wedding planning companies that focus on incorporating specific hobbies, such as gaming, into wedding themes and experiences. - **Alternative Wedding Product Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing a line of non-traditional wedding products, decorations, and services that cater to couples looking for unique and unconventional elements for their weddings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive NFT Marriages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closeup-city-hall.md) - [Laundry-Themed Nuptial Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-launderette-of-love.md) - [Custom AI Wedding Themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrateally-ai1.md) - [Non-Traditional Wedding Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssense-bridal-20.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md) - [2D/3D Wedding Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planner-5d.md) - [Wedding Fashion Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-love-chapel.md) - [Pop-Up Outdoor Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaco-wedding.md)
