The offbeat bride: Anli, data analyst
Her offbeat partner: Laura, public servant
Location & date of wedding: The Old Stone House, NSW Australia — 5 September 2009
What made our wedding offbeat: We wanted a ceremony that reflected our geeky, romantic, pink aesthetic, while at the same time being profound and meaningful.
Our ceremony was themed around the video game Portal and the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena.
We incorporated lots of geeky details, from the table names (Revolution, Sierra, Katara and GLaDOS) to the choice of music.
We also kept several traditional elements such as bouquets, dresses and bridesmaids. However, we both walked down the aisle unaccompanied and skipped the garter/bouquet toss.
I DIY’ed many details, including bouquets, centrepieces, bonbons, stationery and my hand-embellished corset, skirts, petticoat and detachable train.
Because our wedding was so small, we skipped having a dance floor and invited guests to games of Lupus In Tabula after dinner. Our cake and bonbon were companion-cube shaped. We played Rock Band instead of having a Hens Night. And we walked down the aisle to an obscure piece of music from Utena.
Because we can’t legally be wed in Australia, we had a good friend officiate and he did a great job. [EDITOR’S NOTE: Years later, once the laws changed, these two DID get legally married!]
We kept our vows secret from one another until the night before, but somehow both of us managed to discuss Laura’s fear of spiders in each of our vows.
Many of our friends very kindly offered their support and help, from playing violin at the ceremony, setting up decorations, making sure we were fed, proof-reading our vows, driving us around before the day and looking after our cats.
We also both wore dresses, although we didn’t keep our dresses secret; we had photo shoots together before the ceremony and even got dressed in the same room!
Laura kept her pink hair, I kept my glasses on through all the photos and we posed with Nintendo DS consoles.
Our biggest challenge: We were engaged for almost two years and picked our venue a year and a half in advance. Closer to the date, we were unsure whether the site vendors understood our vision for the day as we had originally discussed. We were very concerned about having adequate heating as many guests would be traveling in from a warmer state. We also had problems with not being able to order the correct furniture that we originally wanted.
With some good communication, we were able to sort out our issues. And the venue was set up mostly as we had originally envisaged. It helped that our vendors were very patient and understanding people. We needed to get confirmation on details early on as it really made the process less stressful.
We also made contingency plans (for example, seeking alternative sources for furniture and decorations) which we, fortunately, did not have to use.
My favorite moment: Laura’s favourite moment was watching me walk down the aisle towards her while our lovely friend Katherine played Hikari Sasu Niwa on violin. We had decided she would go first as during the rehearsal I felt really nervous being the first in line. However, during the ceremony I read my vows first.
My favourite moment was the sunset photoshoot after the ceremony. I felt much more relaxed after everything had worked out really well and we had a lovely romantic walk together at the bottom of the garden and had some time alone with one another and our discreet photographer, Julie Clyde.
My offbeat advice: Our advice is to really spend some serious time with one another discussing your direction for your ceremony and the kind of vows that you want to make. We spent a lot of time developing our vows and had great input from some of our friends, which we highly recommend seeking if you can.
Also, if you’re going the DIY route, try to have everything done at least a month in advance. I was still altering dresses (which was unplanned for) on the week of the wedding which wasn’t fun at all given that we had international and interstate guests to entertain and an international honeymoon to prepare for.

Swoon. And Geek Out. But back to Swoon.
This wedding is AWESOME!
Ahhhh so beautiful!!
=))) дааа Ñто точно прекраÑно)) Yes! Beautiful ))
Любовь Ñто вÑегда хорошо в незавиÑимоÑти от пола и Ñто чувÑтво вечно )))
Wow. Your wedding is so beautiful. Geeky gamer weddings for the win!
So awesome! And sweet! And you both look gorgeous! 😀
I am in tears at how beautiful this couple is and SO IN LOVE! This post made my day!
I, like most commenters, am vacillating between "How romantic!" and "OMG HOW AWESOME IS THAT CAKE!!!!"
Oh my god, I am a HUGE Utena fan, and these girls are so beautiful and in love i'm basically a Monday Morning puddle of sappy goo at my desk. Congratulations!
This is one of the most beautiful and unique weddings I've ever seen – and while Anli looks simply gorgeous, I am completely and utterly coveting Laura's look. Congratulations ladies! 🙂
Love this wedding!
Beautiful!! I'm geeking out over here. Every time I watch an episode of Utena I'm going to think of this wedding now 🙂
Laura's shoes are awesome!
What a gorgeous wedding! The picture of the rings on the DS is going on my "must take" list.
WOW! This is one amazingly beautiful wedding. The dresses, the flowers, the cake, the geeky love! Just wonderful. Congratulations to you both!
What a great way to start my day! I love how YOU your wedding was. All of your sweet touches are stunning and OMG the dresses – Great advice about the vows…your vows are the foundation of it all and the reason for the entire event. Any chance you'll share those sweet vows somewhere? Cheers to you both and to a lifetime of creativity and fun!
Just adore everything about your wedding! So beautiful! Congratulations!
Congratulations! What a thoughtful wedding.
Your offbeat advise is on my OBT page. I really like your advise about the "…direction for your ceremony" and "…if you're going the DIY route, try to have everything done at least a month in advance."
Oh gush. They both look so happy. And like PRINCESSES! I love it.
SO AWESOME!! 🙂
Congrats, Ladies. You both look a-mazing! The shot of you two holding hands on the swing looks like something out of a shojo manga. Many years of happiness to you both! 🙂
You ladies are just absolutely beautiful. And I love the colour palette – so tasteful and feminine yet reflecting your interests!
Wow… this is breathtakingly gorgeous wedding! You're photographer did a fabulous job capturing the beauty, love and gamer-geek awesomeness.
stunningly beautiful wedding! and those dresses are breathtaking!
Congratulations! Your wedding looks so stunning and lovely. And I love the dresses! Anli, I really admire you for making your own dress. I can't decide whether to make my dress or not, mostly because I'm worried I won't have it done in time, or I'll be too much of an anal perfectionist and not be happy with it. Great job on making such a breathtakingly beautiful dress! Did you have or use any patterns for inspiration?
Hi and thanks so much for your comments! I wrote more about the dress on this community: http://community.livejournal.com/corsetmakers/167… The top skirt was based from a Truly Victorian pattern (I don't have the number with me, but it was an assymetrical pleated skirt) but I didn't use commercial patterns for the other parts. I am really glad that I made my own dress but time is a serious factor – I had a long engagement and sewed for most of it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
This is one of the most beautiful weddings I've yet seen. Congratulations!
Best. Wedding. Ever! I’m so happy to see this! I love anime, and Utena makes me squee! It’s so gorgeous, especially your dresses and the companion cube cake which is the best inside joke EVER.
AMAZING photos! Truly a beautiful wedding – Congrats ladies!!
I only have one question: WHERE DID LAURA GET HER SHOES?!!!!
Thankyou so much for your kind comments!
My shoes are Ballerina Rocking Horse Shoes 🙂
The Originals are by Vivienne Westwood, but several other brands sell them in various colours. Lolita Lolas and Double Decker are the most well known.
http://community.livejournal.com/egl/13085249.htm…
This link has loads of great information on the different styles and brands. 🙂
I am seriously amazed. Everything about this wedding is incredibly beautiful!
these dresses are phenomenal, and i love the pink hair!!
So in love with this!!
wow. that was so pretty. I want my wedding to be that pretty, but with green. How or who did your DS?
I decorated my DS using deco parts I got from Strapya world (I dont know if links are allowed here but you should be able to google it.) If you do this though i would recommend that you use a clear plastic case to decorate as opposed to the actual DS ^^; The glue is really temperamental :).
AWESOME! It's like girly overload and it works. So many gorgeous shades of pink. Love the DS ring shot. The dresses are, as my husband put it, "pretty fucking awesome!" Thank you for sharing your day with us.
OMG they are both so pretty! the dresses are both amazing! i love the portal cake! pink hair! i am in love with this wedding. <3
I love everything about this wedding. It was so gorgeous! And I have a Portal cake topper but now I so want mini companion cube cakes.
OHMAIGAWD~ Rocking Horse Shoes? <3333333
And the others are Anna House, right? Are you ladies on EGL by chance? <333
The deco'd DS's are awesome, by the by. You're wedding looks beautiful! And I love how geeky and awesome it was! Geek chic! <3
Congrats!
Thanks, I'm in love with my rocking horse shoes! I'm on EGL but just lurk. 🙂 Nice spotting with the Anna House shoes!
Well, this makes me confident on wearing my rocking horse shoes for my wedding! ^^
Congrats again! <3
You two are the most gorgeous couple.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Bravo!
Congratulations girls 🙂
You guys rock. This was a pleasure to read and the photos a pleasure to look at. Make the best of it!
O_O I sort of really love Shoujo Kakumei Utena…and this is amazing. I really got the whole Utena feel out of it, but it was still really classic and beautiful!! The fact that you used the Sunlit Garden song…I KNEW that was what it was going to be that song as soon as I clicked on the profile for this wedding, and I SQUEEEed in happiness. I love it. This is my favorite.
Oh, my! Congratulations, ladies! You look so wonderful together! 🙂 I absolutely love Anli's dress! So gorgeous and romantic and feminine… *sigh*
Holy crap!! Those dresses are gorgeous!! You ladies totally rocked it! Princess-style!!!
Anli, Laura – congratulations. This is the coolest thing I have seen! Wish you guys the best.
Such an awesome wedding! Congratulations ladies ^^
This is the best wedding ever, I am in tears. Your dresses are gorgeous. You are a lucky couple.
Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
you are both adorable. i love your dresses.
i hope we'll all be able to make it legal one day soon x
Best… Wedding… Ever! The both of you and your Maids of Honor are stunning, your guests were lucky to be able to attend such a unique and amazing event and from the pictures… it seems to be one of the few Weddings I'd wished I HAD been able to attend. Good Luck and Best Wishes to you both!
Aw, so cute. I know the girls who got married (I used to date the maid of honor who is second from the right in the DS photo) and they are lovely
Congratulations to the both of you!
It looks like it was a beautiful day and that you are both very much in love.
The very best wishes to you as you share your lives with each other. =)
Just saw the link to this on Kotaku. Beautiful and awesome all at the same time.
Congratulations to you both =)
Oh my gosh guys, congratulations, awesome.
I think those are the most beautiful boquets I've ever seen in my life.
great wedding pics got here via kotaku
I LOVE it when couples communicate well enough to design weddings around their own personalities and make it truly unique. Amazing job,.. and so classic and classy too! We did the same thing a year ago in Key West with family and friends and it was just the best thing I think we've ever done, partnered or single. I highly recommend a long engagement and really thinking about what you want to experience and what you want your guests to experience as well. It's worth the wait to make it right.
Kudos!
All I have to say is that this is fantastic and you two have made the best of our repressive norms to make something really beautiful.
I’m happy to be alive to see this – I love it!
Congratulations to you both! Everything, especially the two of you, looks gorgeous and divinely geeky!
this made me smile~
congrats~!
and I hope we can get married like everyone else in Australia soon.
there is no end to how much i am totally in love with this wedding!!! <3 <3 <3
COmpanion Cube cake and boxes!!?!?! How friggin cool is that??
*gush gush gush*
Lesbian Gamer Geek wedding FTW!! XD <3 <3 <3
If you both weren't already married, I would propose. You will go down in Utena fandom history. Send this to B.Papas.
this melts my mechanical heart….i love these modern day love stories
this melts my mechanical heart….i love these modern day love stories
Soooooooooooooo sweet!
Congrats and best wishes.
May you never need the reset button.
In an ideal world, you would've exchanged vows at the top of an insanely long spiral staircase, under an enormous, upside-down, floating castle. As it is, I think you've managed to acheive maximum awesomeness with your wedding. Congratulations, and brava!
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!
OMG!! Love everything about this. Companion Cube cake = SO PERFECT! The balance between gamer geek and soft romance is gorgeous and perfect. Congratulations!
LAURA! I've been trying to track you down for years! Trust you to finally appear as front page news 😛 I'm so proud that you guys (girls) finally had your dream wedding 🙂 If I'm lucky you may still remember me from Uni, Shem Le Scelle, find me on facebook so we can catch up, I have awesome news to swap and want to hear about your wedding! 🙂
How fabulous! Congratulations to you both!
Congratulations Anli and Laura. The two of you look absolutely beautiful, and are so obviously happy from your photos. My wife and I wish you a lifetime of happiness
Wow! and RGU wedding, it's a wonderful idea. It was beautiful! I wish you guys the best!
Did you by any chance consider having bara no unmei rings made for one another?
Actually Anli gave me one as an anniversary gift a few years ago 🙂
I was tempted to wear it on the day, but thought it might be a bit much since rings in ceremonies are an important element.
So I decided to go wit the rose seal bracelet instead 🙂 Truth be told I was more tempted to wear my juri locket, sadly the colors would have clashed 🙁
OMG I am so jealous, two beautiful ladies, a beautifully geeky wedding. OMG! *wipes a tear*
Lesbian weddings are always so awesome… but yours takes the game-inspired cake!
*A* The whole wedding is absolutely gorgeous, and it's clear you two are happy. Congratulations!
… Also, I'm dying to know how Laura decorated her DS. So. Damn. Pretty.
I decorated my DS using deco parts I got from Strapya world (I dont know if links are allowed here but you should be able to google it.) 🙂
I teared up seeing these pictures and how beautiful you both are! I really love Utena too so I also geeked out! Much love and happiness to you both!
How fun! What an adorable couple. And for serious — awesome dresses. WANT!
Elegantly beautiful and one of the classiest wedding I've seen, period. Wishing you both a future full of good fortune and happiness.
Congrats you two, just read about this on Kotaku.com and wanted to congratulate you. Many states in the U.S. are starting to allow same-sex unions, hopefully Australia will not be too long in the future.
Hey, congrats, what a beautiful couple, and the cake, oh I hope the cake isn’t a lie.
This is just lovely! I am such a huge Utena fan and this wedding is completely in the spirit of the gorgeous anime! Congratulations to both of you and extra kudos to you for Hikaru Sasu Niwa, this music is played in my favourite scene in the Utena movie; the moment when Utena realises the truth about Touga…
LOVE IT. You guys are so creative. Many congratulations. 🙂
YOU WIN AT LIFE.
The cake. The cake. I am so frickin’ charmed.
(Pointed here through the LJ of another lesbian gamer Utena fan friend)
I want some of that cake, I’m disappointed I wasn’t invited.
Been a lurker here for a while now, and I have to say this wedding brought me out so I can say THIS WEDDING IS SUPREMELY GORGEOUS!!! The dresses are fantastic and just evoke the beauty and femininity of the princess look in Utena. I love how you incorporated your gamer and anime nerd roots into this wedding. I adore every detail of this wedding! I've also considered using anime cake toppers in my own. 🙂
¡Me muero! ¡Felicitaciones! Es una boda soñada!
That's one fantastic wedding. Congratulations! Your dresses are gorgeous, the little touches like the ring box are adorable, and "The Sunlit Garden" as a walking down the aisle song… does *not* make me want to tear up, because I don't do that. Really.
May you have many wonderful years together!
This is one of the most beatiful things, let alone wedding I have ever seen. You have my deepest congratulations and I wish you happy lives together.
Your dresses were beautiful, the idea was fun and amazing, your wedding sounded like amazing fun, and everything looked absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Awww, I'm glad the two of you finally got married, and in such a spectacular, geeky way. Glad things are going well for both of you, but Swancon just isn't the same without you two around. *much love to you both*
My five-year-old daughter just looked at these pictures and some from the photostream and exclaimed: "I cannot IMAGINE something more delightful and beautiful than this wedding!"
I concur.
Congratulations! ^_^
The cake is a lie!
But seriously, congrats.
This wedding must have been so beautiful and meaningful! Thank you for sharing it here! It made my heart warm to see the pictures and read about it! ~<3 Yay~
Congratulations, your nuptials are everything I ever wanted, so beautiful yet wonderfully different, thank you for sharing such perfect memories.
wow did you dance "toki ni ai wa tsuyoku"?????
Dies of happiness >.<
Shoujo Kakumei Utena is my all-time favorite anime, ever. I have been in love with it since I was 13. I'm 22 now.
Aside from this fact alone nearly giving me an awesomeness-induced stroke, the couple looks radiant. Best wishes to the both of you.

sweet! awesome wedding!
Oh, this is so beautiful! <3 Everything looks lovely, and the whole concept is just rad. o And huzzah for Utena too~
Dream wedding.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! You both look absolutely lovely, and as a fan of both Portal and Utena, I love how you incorporated aspects from them in to your special day. Congratulations to you both! ^^
Oh my god. Congratulations!
This is the most gorgeous wedding I've seen in a long time.
Absolutely wonderful. Happiness and long life to you both.
Hi Laura i was just wondering what colour your hair is?? I'm totally in love with it and i'm desperate to be a pink haired bride!! 😀
Hi I use 'pink moon' fudge paintbox for the pink 🙂
The main thing for getting the colour right is to have a really thorough bleach. When I first started, my hair needed to be bleached three times to get the colour light enough, and I didn't have dark hair to start with. Another nice colour in the same range is 'pink flamingo', however it's slightly darker. Good luck with your wedding!
Her natural colour is a red, which I _think_ makes it easier 🙂 I think for a while she was washing purple dye in but then taking it out REALLY early to get the perfect shade of pink… she's dedicated! 😀 (from a friend who is still squeeing over their wedding to this day! :D)
thank you both so much i have blonde hair so it shouldn't be too bad but i will be bleaching too!! that is dedication good on you!!! its such a perfect pink!! and your whole wedding is just beautiful thank you for sharing!! i think i was most excited that it was in Australia!!
Wow! This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Congrats!
That was strange… yet romantic… and pretty damn kickass really. I wish you both the best.
Wow! I'm also a lesbian gamer marrying a lesbian gamer (in 8 days, no less!) so it's lovely to see your pictures and hear about your ceremony!
"Lonely Rolling Star" from Katamari Damacy is going to be my processional song. (:
I wonder what Utena and Anthy would say!
Oh my god, RGU, Portal, pink, amazing dresses! Best wedding ever, ohmygosh.
As I told the Spouse, "This goes from Awesome to Creepy (I mean, come on – those are two unsettling storylines!) to Sweet," and then I saw the cake toppers and that just pinned the needle at Sweet. OMG SO ADORABLE. (And the rest of the photos just kept it there.)
Also : Big ol' congratulations!
Aww! This is so incredibly nerdy and incredibly romantic. Especially love the Utena piece for walking down the aisle. Please tell me you danced to Sometimes Love from the movie (Mirrored rose surface optional, of course).
I guess the cake wasn't a lie, after all. 😉
This is phenomenal! You both look ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I am so in love with the gamer theme and OMG I WANT THAT CAKE…I hope it was real…cause it was a wedding…a cake cannot be a lie at a wedding lol!
I wish I could have been there! That is definitely the best wedding theme I have ever seen.
ну че по руÑÑки Ð½ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ·Ñ Ð¿Ð¸Ñать?
You both look so happy! Congratulations!
Those are wonderful photos ladies, you raise the bar for weddings everywhere. I laughed a lot about companion cube, it seems that, after all the doubts, hype, and misgivings, that the cake was not a lie.
sooo amazing and beautiful
this is the cutest thing ever. I love all the detail – the gel pens and anime pen cup for the guest book. way cute. I'll remember to keep an eye on detail.
That looks like a really pretty ceremony, I'm so happy for you both!! So nice to see such lovely people so in love, you can see it in every photo. Congratulations!
Amazing!!! And you both look beautiful! Congradulations!
The sweetest wedding I've ever seen =) Congratulations! =)
There are so many awesome things about this wedding I cannot even begin to name them all. I sooo wish I had been there. It just screams "FUN"!
Those dresses are stunning!
OMG I love your cake!!! Companion cubes rock (I'm a massive Portal fan) 😀
Stunning photos!!
The pictures of your wedding have brought tears to my eyes – while making me laugh and grin like a loon. Absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. I wish you both happiness and strength. You two have made my day.
Simply beautiful, everything, both of the brides!! So amazing, I'm in tears!! Congratulations !
What a beautiful wedding. Congratulations to you both.
You are both so beautiful and those dresses (and the cake!) are so gorgeous!!!! Much happiness to you.
You are both so beautiful and those dresses (and the cake!) are so gorgeous!!!! Much happiness to you.
Awwwwwwwwww ^_^ Very pink.
This has to be the sweetest most beautiful pink ceremony I have ever seen!
I congratulate you two and hope you have a wonderful happy life together.
Your cake has made it to the CakeWrecks blog Sunday Sweets!
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/11/sunday-swe…
Stunning, absolutely beautiful! From the outfits to the cake to the … everything! As lesbians, gamers and Utena fans, my girlfriend and I can only dream of managing to make our wedding this gorgeous <3
Congratulations to the Happy couple ♥
What a Beautiful Wedding… I wish you two the Best in Life! 😀
Oh, this is so very wonderful! Best of luck in your life together. I hope you always have such a magnificent sense of fun, adventure and style. Go you!
OMG this is the most bad ass wedding ever. I love Utena so much, the cake it so cute. I want to know where the got the rose seal bracelet from. I so want on. ^_^
I love it!!!! All of it! 😀 Did you have the Portal end song playing as you left the venue? A portal cake seems so appropriate somehow. You're both lovely and the wedding is amazing and gorgeous!
Um, if this has a Portal theme, wouldn't the cake be a lie? 🙂
OMG, stunningly gorgeous overload!
It’s things like this that make me sad. Sad that until our government realizes what “equal rights” mean, ridiculously awesome ceremonies such as this cannot be official 🙁
I heard on triple j this afternoon that that may be changing sometime soon though. Great pics and may you two be happy forever after 🙂
You girls are too cute! And I love your dresses! Congrats, you two! 😀
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANION CUBE CAKE! This looks like something my fiance and I would do. We’re big gamers/geeks ourselves! He wants a Tetris screen as his groom cake.
ZOMG! I’d drooled over your wedding last year when I first saw it last year (although I’m rubbish at commenting) but it was only last weekend that my friend D (who was the one who first got me hooked on OB by featuring briefly with her owl) mentioned that Laura was the same Laura who was friends with my little brother in school.
I’m so glad to see you well and happy and by goodness did you have an epically gorgeous lesbian gamer geek wedding. Here’s to hoping that Australia drags itself into the 21st Century and legalises gay marriage soon!
SO much awesome. Congrats! Love the cake & your outfits. 😉
So adorable ! I hope you two are happy 🙂
Well congratulations girls, i know it must have been hard for you, i should know, me and my fiances wedding, we were both nervous, but the kiss was my favourite part, it went on for like a minute, i wish you girls luck, by the way my wife is a famous model in nuts, Lucy Pinder.
Although the program simplifies the modern Chinese wedding ceremony, but in the gifts, dowry movement, a very important ceremony
Wow! I’ve been engaged for about 6 months, and this is probably the most beautiful wedding I’ve seen (and I’ve seen A LOT of weddings).
I actually saw your cake on a different site, was looking through geeky wedding cakes. It’s beautiful, and it was so you!
I really admire your wedding 😀
I love the cake! And it is most certainly not a lie. It is beautiful. That is a do want!
What an insanely beautiful wedding! I love the pink and the GORGEOUS gowns. I know I’m a few years late, but congratulations!
IT’S SO PRETTY I’M GONNA DIE!!!
Probably the cutest wedding I’ve ever seen.
Does anyone else see Tosh from Torchwood in Anli? What a beautiful wedding, congratulations to you both!
THOSE. DRESSES. You look like beautiful princesses! I can’t squeal enough!
What an adorable couple and a perfect wedding design. I’ll bet it was really fun.
The cake and revolutionary girl utena toppers was so adorable!
Gamer wedding ftw! 😀
I’m having a steampunk gamer wedding so *high five* girls! 🙂
*swoon* I usually don’t get all girly and frilly but your wedding made me squeal! Before I scrolled down the page I was thinking ” I’m totally getting a Revolutionary Girl Utena vibe about this” and lo and behold. Love it!
Those dresses are GORGEOUS!!
The dresses and hair are gorgeous!! Fairytale geekiness!
This is the cutest wedding I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing! >^^< Cute cute CUUUUUTE–
This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen and I am agog over the sheer magnificence of those gowns and the gorgeous ladies wearing them. I have an English degree and yet I still cannot find the words to describe just how stunning I find this wedding. I’m going to have to go with HELLA.
I loved everything about this except the part where it can’t be legally recognised. It makes me so sad that our country is yet to achieve marriage equality, but your wedding is so beautiful! Loved the dresses and cake!!
OMG. . . my girlfriend would adore this!!! She is a hardcore gamer and has always said she is the Utena to my Anthy… We don’t plan on getting married anytime soon, but she’s often said if we did, she would meet me at the altar wearing a more formal version of Utena’s duelist uniform. I’ve also told her that my wedding dress would be a copy of Anthy’s rose bride gown.
Um, the picture of the rings in the DS is pretty much the coolest thing ever. And did you say you DIYed that dress!? Oh my WOW!
These are two super adorable people…this wedding is adorable…I have too much awwwww going on here….omg…so…freaking great!!!
You ladies are both so beautiful and I love all of the personal touches. My boyfriend is a gamer geek so I’ve always dreamed of some sort of geeky wedding cake when we get married. You put on a really lovely wedding.
This wedding is so darn cute!!! I LOVE all of the Utena touches. Thanks for sharing!
The dress you made is beautiful!!! You should open a bridal boutique!
