  • Geeky vows

    So I'm getting married in a few days...

    And I'm stuck on the vows.

    Does anyone have recommendations or ideas for geeky references for vows? Especially as relates to science, science fiction, and books? I have the sappy bits, but I need some humourous references and a few lines that will reflect our personalities. I've stepped back on a lot of the geeky decor I originally wanted, but this is one area I'm not backing down on.

    You could always paraphrase the Green Lantern oath.

      I think an AYB reference would work. As an example, here's what I used in a different situation (asking a geeky girl out).

      "Roses are #FF0000
      Violets are #0000FF
      All my base
      Are belong to you"
      Long days, short nights, a bottle of NOS makes it all right.

        Be sure to include something about promising to kill him before he turns if he gets bitten by a zombie!

          Kabe and I had a traditional wedding with traditional vows, but maybe look through episodes of the Doctor? I can't imagine there not being some sort of wedding in there.

          Or you could pull Aubrey and Jason's vows from SP

            Was recently at a wedding where the bride and groom each had their own vows. She had "do you promise to take her shopping when she's had a bad day, to give her back rubs when she needs them, etc."

            He had "do you promise not to get between him and a plate of food, do you promise not to interrupt him while he is watching any Star Wars, Star Trek or Doctor Who."

              Heeeeeeeeee

              No one in my family would get it.

              I've got a bit more worked out, but it feels too short. I need MOAR!

                Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!

                  River's narration: Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. [The Doctor uploads her into CAL with her own happy universe] Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, Every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

                    The first Doctor quote is going in. Hands down.

                        Maybe mention having a towel handy? (don't remember a lot from the hitchhiker series and Doctor Who has already been mentioned.)

                          I included the towel bit - and mentioned wormholes, too.

                          I just sent off the current version to my officiant, and asked her to look it over and let me know what she thinks. I hope it's good...
