Live Long and Prosper

That's kind of the motto for every wedding right? Or, it should be. Live long with your soul mate and prosper. Whether prosper means spitting out 12 kids or getting rich and famous or having an enriching life with your loved one. Either way, Live Long and Prosper my friends and Stay Thirsty. No, wait. That's something else.

Anyways if you're a Trekkie (like me) you might want your wedding to reflect that . How about Star Trek Bridesmaid dresses or instead of bouquets they carry phaser guns? All the groomsmen are carrying communicators and you have a Klingon conducting the ceremony. Ah, yes, that would be awesome. So where to begin for planning your Star Trek wedding, like this?

Taken from www.GeekSugar.com
For starters, there's a great Trekkie site called RoddenBerry (www.roddenberry.com). This site allows you to buy everything from phasers to dresses. If you want a more hands on approach, they sell patterns. Prop replicas, prop kits, blueprints for the TOS stage, even gift ideas they have pretty much whatever Star Trek fare you're into.

If you want to make your own wedding cake, here's a video on how to make a pretty sweet one.


There are a million sites you can go to for Star Trek gifts, cake toppers, cuff links even garter belts – Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Think Geek. Really, any of them will do. But I wouldn't dig too deep. A lot of things can be done by you or with friends. You don't have to necessarily buy it. Ideas are great, implication is hard.

I personally, love Star Trek I would have loved to have that theme in my wedding, but my loss is your gain.  Here are some helpful hints to get the planning started. I know what you're think, I just can't do it, I don't have the power. But you're wrong, Scotty. You can do it. The internet is the final frontier... Okay, not really but it can seem that way when you're navigating treacherous sites, soul sucking stupidity and not finding an inkling of what you are looking for, instead you get side tracked and forgotten. Well, here's a place to start. Now stay focused my friend.
