OK, remember all those Mario wedding cakes we already looked at? And the LBP cake toppers? Of course you do. I think It’s been made pretty clear that Mr. Giraffe and I have quite the geek side. It’s really no secret; I mean, he’s pretty open with his love for video games, and I’m not exactly hiding my obsession with comic books.

I couldn’t find a photo of Mr. Giraffe looking geeky, but here’s an older photo of Mr. G and me. I’m in one of my favorite shirts. I have more photos of me acting like Spiderman, but I couldn’t find them.

If weddings can have geeky (but oh so endearing) cakes or cake toppers…why can’t said endearing geekiness translate into other aspects of the wedding? I don’t know why I never thought of that before, but even though we’re not working these into our more traditional wedding, they’re just awesome.

The idea of geeky save the dates first occurred to me when I saw this STD on Projectwedding.com.

Oh man. I honestly love it. I mean, it really is kind of adorable. I haven’t quite figure out why only two and a half hearts are full, though. I mean, you’d think all three would be full because of lovey dovey wedding goodness, but the novelty is so perfect that I can’t complain!

Here’s another one I love. Mr. G and I never played Magic: The Gathering, but I’m sure for a couple that does, an STD magnet that looks like a card from the game would be super fun.

And this one is from a video-game website. (Follow the link below the image for an equally geeky and adorable proposal story.) For all you Wii lovers, how great is it that the STDs feature their Miis? (Lots of rhyming there, haha). That would be cute for Mr. G and me, except that he teases me about being short (which I’m really not) so he made my Mii the shortest possible, and it looks so silly next to his taller Mii.

This one is a little more nerdy than geeky. (If there’s really a difference. C’mon people, is there?) I have a friend who is a math teacher and total math nerd, and it’s too bad he’s already married because he totally would have done something like this.

And I love this one! Although Mr. and Ms. Pacman have already been married for like 30 years, I’m sure they looked something like this for their big day? (Do you think Pinky, Inky, Blinky, and Clyde were invited?)

Here’s another Mii STD that I found on Weddingbee, courtesy of Ms. Fondue!

I’m not sure if this is exactly geeky or not, but it’s not “plain Jane” either. I absolutely love love love sock monkeys, so I just about died when I found this sucker on Etsy.

And I saved my personal favorite for last. I never knew geekiness could look so chic.

OK, one more. I don’t think a save the date has ever made me so happy. My geekiness stems from my obsession with Marvel comics. Now, I love Spidey as much as the next girl, but the X-Men really have my heart—especially Remy LeBeau. I adore the super tragic yet super amazing “love” story between Remy and Rogue, who really do love each other. For realsies, this STD just warms my little geek heart. (Oh, and for the record, I have finally forgiven Rogue for that whole bit in Antarctica, and I think that whole massacre was blown way out of proportion. I know it’s been a while, but I feel the need to share my two cents.)

Oh! And apparently, there have been quite a few geeky wedding invites, too, but that’s a story for another post.

Anybody gettin’ geeky with their STDs? I would love to see them!
