Nerds Wed In Star Wars-Themed Ceremony
By Wyatt Earp | July 26, 2008
NERDS!!!!!
Was JT in attendance? Heh. I know this will shock you, but these two dateless wonders met online.
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) – The bride and groom grasped one another’s dart launcher-clad wrists and stared into each other’s starry eyes.
Fifty armor-clad guests, including several “Jedis” and a white caped “Elvis” in a rhinestone-studded ammo belt, stood reverently at attention. A couple of superheroes showed up late.
Ya know, I am a Star Wars nerd, and even I laugh at Elvis impersonators.
What better place to hold a “Star Wars” themed wedding than a green patch of grass just outside the famed Comic-Con convention where thousands of fans have congregated this week to revel in all manner of superhero and sci-fi lore?
Friday’s wedding ceremony, based on the language, costume and lore of a fictional Mandalorian race in the “Star Wars” movies, was the brain child of Tenille Kuhlman, 30, and Thomas Kuhlman, 39, avid fans who decided that the convention was a perfect place to gather far-flung members of their close-knit “Star Wars” fan club to celebrate their special day.

Strangely enough, the happy couple will still be virgins after the honeymoon.
You really have to read the entire article for the full nerd effect. Trust me, it’s worth your time.

Deanna – Me, or them?

Not you, silly rabbit. Those crazy people! I hope you are feeling better. Many thoughts of you today!

Deanna – Thanks. Really tired, and still in a decent amount of pain, but the Percocet will be kicking in soon, then I can (hopefully) get some sleep. I normally sleep on my stomach, so I’ll need to find another way to catch some Z’s.

Ouch! Wish I was closer… would at least bring you some food! Try to get some sleep. Kisses!

Deanna – I will. Thanks!

These people really need to get a life and do what my wife and I did, have a traditional Viking style wedding at an SCA event.

Damn. I thought I had a lot of spare time. I guess I don’t. What a great language to learn, “Mandalorian”. It should help with the growing Mandalorian communities.

Wyatt, I read the whole article. Where do I go to get those 2 minutes of my life back?
While I’m there I’ll put in applications for the bride and groom to get lives.

CSH – See? Now that’s not nearly as bad. There is such a thing as Vikings! They really existed!
Admiral – I figure they already mastered “Klingon.”
C.P. – Sorry but I told you it was rife with comedy!
Insol – That is brilliant!!!
RT – These people should have.
