Up your card box’s geek game by using an original Nintendo Entertainment System

Heather and Matt had lots of 8-bit references in their wedding, but our favorite was definitely their Nintendo card box. The best part was their instructions sign that read, “If it does not work on first try, blow on card and reinsert card.” HA. If you don’t get that reference, you’re most likely a youngin’.

This project brings so much retro radness in a small, DIYed package that will appeal to all your old school gamer pals.

And now we’ve got the video evidence by [heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.net/listing/the-adventures-of"]The Adventures Of[/heart] that something this rad actually happened. Don’t miss the “fuck yeah, I do” wedding vows, the original songs, and spectacular performances. It’s making our lives.

But one detail that really resonated was the groom’s pre-ceremony smudging ritual.
