From Nerdy Proposals to Nerdy Weddings
?
It’s the natural order of things. Unlike the happy couples who used zombie flicks and Super Mario World to get engaged, these adorable Australian nerds used their love of Portal and the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena to get married. That’s the happy couple Anli and Laura above, dressed as Anthy and Utena respectively, and yes, they are indeed two women who are in love, and more power to ’em, I say. I also sincerely hope that you will save any catcalls for my next Sexy Acts of Nerdery post and use the comments to wish them congratulations. Check out Offbeat Bride for more picks of their wedding, them posing with Nintendo DSes, and their awesome Companion Cube wedding cake. Thanks to everyone who sent this in, and my best to Anli and Laura!
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
