With the increasing popularity of themed wedding photos, it has become clear that people are growing bored with traditional pictures of rings, hand holding and beaches that look like they came from a stock photo company.
With that in mind, Sean K. and his bride-to-be decided celebrate their engagement by killing a ninja. Check out some additional photos after the break.
If you thought the kiss between Leia and Luke was sketchy, check out this incestuous union between Darth Vader and Slave Leia. It’s definitely not canon, but it’s still awesome. I mean, we’re fans of themed weddings, Star Wars or generally nerdy. This one features Boba Fett and Stormtroopers walking down the aisle. It’s the perfect way to start marriage here or in a galaxy far, far away.
See coverage of the big day in the video after the break.
Lois Lane and Superman aren’t together in DC’s New 52, but it’s still a stretch to assume he’d ever end up with Harley Quinn. In real life though, such rules don’t apply. This couple incorporated their affections for the superhero and villain into their wedding but not in the hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-giant-mallet sort of way. There are plenty of ways you can blend your geeky passions with your wedding day, and they chose the subtle route. The wedding colors were red and black, the wedding cake was topped with action figures, the garter belt had the Superman logo, and the engagement ring was based on Harley Quinn’s diamond design. The groomsmen did all wear the “S” logo, but it still managed to be classy.

This adorable little girl was more than a little nervous to fulfill her duties as a flower girl for her mother’s wedding. She also has autism, which made the prospect of getting up in front of all the guests particularly daunting.
She spent the morning hiding under her bed until her aunt coaxed her out with the promise of a Yoda backpack. After a quick trip to the toy shop, she appeared to feel safer with Yoda hovering over her shoulder. So, when it came time to head to the church, the girl refused to go without the backpack.
Her mother obliged of course, and the young Padawan was able to get through the ceremony without a problem thanks to her Jedi master. The result is one of the sweetest wedding pics ever taken.

Instead of a cute skipping kid bringing your rings down the aisle, how about Gollum? Yes, the “my precious” Gollum. He makes an ideal ring bearer. You know, except for the part when he doesn’t like to give up the ring. A Gollum impersonator (who is not quite Andy Serkis) was hired by the groom of this wedding to deliver the rings. The best part is that it’s part of the reality TV show Four Weddings. The contestants in the audience are absolutely appalled, and it’s hilarious.
Watch Gollum horrify wedding guests after the jump.
If you’re going to have a Star Wars-themed wedding, you may as well go full Force. Dale and Nadia of Australia did just that. The bride and groom wore costumes, played John Williams as people walked down the aisle, and had R2-D2 as a ringbearer. The guests even got in on the fun and danced in costumes ranging from Jawas to a Togruta with full size head-tails. Impressive. Most impressive.

English couple Nyssa Pratten, 19 and Rob Taverner, 32 (hmmmmm) got married this week in cartoon/comic- themedceremony that included a best man dressed like Supergirl. I think that fact pretty much sums up this whole situation.
The bride and groom were dressed like Jessica Rabbit and a disheveled Superman (respectively, thank God).

If you were insecure about your nerdiness before, you might want to steer clear of proposing with this ring box that features a 2-inch LCD screen and 128MB of memory.  You can be yourself after the vows—but right now you gotta seal the deal. Women love it when you spring your action figure collection on them after its too late to back out.
And definitely, definitely don’t use something like this as your engagement ring.

The safety of the world was put on hold recently when superheros in ill-fitting costumes gathered together to witness the nuptials between Batman and Wonder Woman in Paignton, Devon. The guest list included included Wolverine, Iron Man, Supermen of various ages and genders, Captain America and even Bananaman, who hasn’t made many public appearances since Nickelodeon stopped airing Danger Mouse (who was also in attendance). Anyway, the happy new couple now go by “Neil and Sharon Vaughn of Cullompton, Devon”.

Luke Jerram teamed up with jeweler Tamrakar to create this incredibly unique ring for his wedding that contains a built in lens and a replaceable transparent slide that allows it to project an image of Jerram and his future wife when light shines through it. The down side? he won’t make one for you. Here’s the response you’ll get if you try:
“Congratulations on your engagement! I’m afraid this ring was a one off, made for my wife. I’m afraid you’ll have to make your own unique ring for your own unique partner!”
Who knows, maybe someone else will manufacture these rings. The idea is too cool to ignore.
