This is how Cory Stockton, lead level designer at Blizzard, worked gaming into his wedding:

Super Mario Bros. wedding cake. (So. Cal. designer Erica O´Brien)

Legend of Zelda ice sculpture/vodka luge (So. Cal. Union Ice). The sculpture doubled as a vodka luge for martinis and shots at the wedding. If you look close at the images in the gallery you can see the channel flowing diagonal down the center of the sword/shield for the alcohol.

Tables were all named after video game consoles. The head table was called "Press Start to Begin." There were 23 tables from the NES and NeoGeo, to the Xbox 360.

The grand entrance music was The Legend of Zelda´s overworld theme and the wedding party´s music was the Super Mario Bros. World 1-1 theme.

His wife Christi was "100% ok" with those elements, but Stockton says it´s mostly because it was his only real involvement with the wedding. He says the guests were happy with the elements as well and they received tons of compliments on the cake and sculpture.

Congrats to the couple.
