When you’ve been dating someone for 18 months from 4,000 miles away, it’s only natural that your wedding theme would be superheroes. You’ve survived a lot after all. Megan Suszynski and her husband Thomas like comics and kitsch, so they combined all those factors and planned their DIY wedding.
The bride and bridesmaids wore capes and masks, there was a singing Batman, and they included lots of simple but effective touches. Plus, the bride wins the nicest bride award ever for having her bridesmaids wear Toms instead of stilettos.

Thirteen years of original episodes and Comedy Central’s Thanksgiving Day marathons have worked wonders keeping MST3K in popular culture – as seen in these cufflinks designed by artist Lauren Swingle.

Unfortunately, the only transporting this bronze Mass Relay tie clip will be doing is transporting your mind to a place where you are sitting at home on the couch eating Doritos and playing Mass Effect 3. The other problem is that it is currently sold out. However, Etsy seller Mark Wengryn claims that other Relays will be made in the future. Then again, you could always contact him and beg for a custom order.
Thanks to Beth for the tip!

Despite the fact that Superman can fly, stop bullets and see through things, he’s still Perry White’s bitch when it comes to working at the Daily Planet. Surely during those stressful times when his unassuming alter ego was looked down on, these cufflinks served as a subtle reminder that Kal-El is so badass that his underpants are being used as a sex aid in Malaysia.
