Flapping Wedding Dress
Posted in Geek Ideas, Gowns, news on 27 May 2008

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted any interesting and unique wedding things for my readers who enjoy a little ‘geek’ once in a while. A graduate student at NYU decided to design a dress that has sensor-controlled butterflies on it. The butterlies beat their wings at the pace of the wearer’s heart rate. So, if you just so happened to wear this Butterfly Flap Dress at your wedding, we can pretty much expect that those little butterflies would be flapping their wings like crazy! O’cmon, you know your heart would be racing with excitement on your wedding day!

Cute.

I Do…in Orbit
Posted in Geek Ideas, news on 25 April 2008

Talk about the extreme!

One couple has decided to take their dream wedding to new height by exchanging vows 70 miles about the Earth in the first Galactic sub-orbital flight next year. This pricey £100,000-a-ticket wedding will be officated by Sir Richard Branson. However, this isn’t Branson’s first time, as he officiated another wedding mid-air prior.

In January, Branson unveiled the new SpaceShipTwo model, a project aimed to take customers into suborbit this summer.

This is what a spokesperson for Virgin Galactic had to say, “Customers will have a two-hour flight, go up to 70 miles above the Earth and experience amazing views of the planet, G forces and weightlessness after a three-day training programme.”

Groovy or just plain stupid?
