If you're going to commit to a geeky wedding theme, you may as well go all the way like Kristin and Zachary did. But instead of just settling for one theme, their wedding included elements of multiple TV shows, movies and video games. The couple's card box took the shape of a Doctor Who TARDIS, the cake was deliciously LEGO-like, Butterbeer from the world of Harry Potter was served and the bride opted for Mass Effect-themed sneakers instead of boring white heels.
When it was time for the newlyweds to kiss and say "I do," the couple even used a sign that marked a new achievement had been unlocked, as one would find in a video game—this geeky wedding wins.
