Essential linkage: Because real love can only be expressed with a Companion Cube.

My girlfriend and I are really bad at getting married. We've been 'engaged' for something like seven years, but just can't seem to get our shit together. But, after seeing this couple's awesome game and geek-themed ceremony, I might just be feeling a bit more inspired.

Because our wedding was so small, we skipped having a dance floor and invited guests to games of Lupus In Tabula after dinner. Our cake and bonbon were companion-cube shaped. We played Rock Band instead of having a Hens Night. And we walked down the aisle to an obscure piece of music from Utena.

Hmm, the cake is not a lie, it seems.

 "My girlfriend and I really bad at getting married."

You're also just awful at checking your own posts. As such in my opinion your posting rights are to be revoked and all articles submitted directly to me until further notice.

Also you get no cake. I hope you have some time to think about what you've done.
