My elegant+nerdy wedding
It’s been a year since my marriage and I’m finally posting up pictures.
I wanted a classy wedding with nerdy undertones since we met playing World of Warcraft. It was still conventional: I wore a white dress, I had the appropriate wedding party, and the reception consisted of eating and dancing.
Here were the more interesting parts:
- Our recessional music was to the Theme of Star Wars, adapted for cello and violin by me.
- Our drink was called “Elixir of Cherry Blossoms” (my wedding flower)
Our wedding program contained a "buff" in the corner
Guests were seated to their tables named after locations in the mmorpg World of Warcraft. Seating arrangement was attached to a wreath of cranes. We made 1,000 cranes for the wedding.
This is was 1000 cranes looks like. We made them over the course of 5 months.
Each table had a description of the location and the story behind it.
Descriptions for some of the tables. We had 11 tables.
We had R2-D2 run around the dance floor.
- The wedding party walked in to the opening music in the WoW login screen, and I walked in with my husband to “Live to Win”
- We danced to “Earth Angel” from Back to the Future and the dance scene from Pulp Fiction. The video also sliced in Robot Chicken.
- My sister-in-law made World of Warcraft papercrafts that were spread out at the headtable.

The grooms cake was designed as a murloc wearing a top hat. You should have seen the look on the baker's face when we tried to explain to him what we wanted.
The cake came out really nice. We were very happy at the detailed results.
We made our own cake toppers in the shape of our avatars wearing appropriate apparel.
On hold WaMu, hello SchoolsFirst
Some uneasy times right now and I’ve finally opened up an account with SchoolsFirst. Actually they call it being a “member”. I should have done it like, last year, but oh well. Oh, and my family members can join too. There is a branch pretty close to me so I’m happy with that.
Anyone else sad that they can’t say WaMu anymore? WaMu! WaMu! Better get it out now.
Blizzcon 2008 Part 2- Pictures
I finally got my camera back and so I can upload the pictures. Yaaay pictures!
The front of the Anaheim Convention Center. BlizzCon wooo. If you look closely you can see my hunter’s mark on the bottom left corner. We were 20 minutes early, but parking made us late. There was a huge line and we had to circle in a line all the way around and up top to parking spaces that weren’t really parking spaces, but everyone parked there anyway.
Some of the banners up top.
We watched Fnatic vs. Made in Taiwan. I was partial to Made in Taiwan because…well…gotta represent! But Fnatic had an asian girl on their team…I felt like how I do at an Angels vs. Yankees game. Taiwan lost though…it’s okay! I’m sure they were happy to be here. They all had team jackets with “Taiwan” in the noticeable public-relations-tourism-graphic font they like to use.
Frostmourne, yours for $400 bucks. The price is going to be raised near the holidays too. Arena winners and the costume contest winners receive one of these. Nihilum won the arena tournament…they are a EU team. I wonder how they are going to get this 16 pound ish sword onto the plane…
Got a croissant during lunch so I could snack on it later in the afternoon. When I think or see a croissant, I think of Burgle and Arloma. Cwaaasooooon.
Mograine and Whiteman. Rise, my Champion!
Kerrigan. She almost makes zerg hot. But they are still gross.
I didn’t see these get used very much. I did take a picture with it but I don’t have it on me yet.
Ooing and awwing.
mMmMmm…..glowy monitors…..not many people on beta since many people were on wotlk beta already for months.
People playing the World of Warcraft card game. I have a deck. Played it about four times. The instructions are confusing.
This was the mini-game created by J!nx. You choose a class and you get as many balls and special balls according to your class, and you throw them, either a head shot or in the chest. The interesting part are the special balls. If you get them in, they are either a crit, or it means it’s a greater heal (for priests) and you subtract 2 balls from your opponent…or other specials that make sense for the class. You compete with the team next to you and you move on for prizes. I got in 1 out of 10…it is harder than it looks.
Arts.
This guy was dressed up as a pimp orc and walked around with a swagger and a cane. I only caught the back of him <: (.
Drool.
Slurp.
New for Diablo 3.
She reminds me of Padme
There is the throne and people could wait in line to pose up there with the helm and the frostmourne. I never got around to waiting for this.
Yes, that is what it looks like.
Scary….
Another picture of a mass of people.
The Diablo 3 section. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could play a 40 man raid like this? All together in one room?
