If You Thought Lord of the Rings Was an Epic Journey, Wait Until You Watch This Nerdy Scavenger Hunt Proposal

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:43 pm, April 12th, 2013

This may be the sweetest, most involved geek proposal I’ve ever seen. Luke Plastow put together a Lord of the Rings themed scavenger hunt for his girlfriend on Christmas Day last year with the intent of asking her to marry him at the end. He wrote to us to say, “She is a huge Tolkein fan and it seemed right that if I was going to give her a ring it should be LOTR themed. The ring itself is Palladium, with a stone the same colour as Sauron’s eye. The setting for the stone is the same shape as Isengard. Inside the ring is an inscription in Black Speech saying ‘One ring to rule them all.’ ”

Luke, if you weren’t already taken…oh wait, you said your fiancé reads our site…best of luck in your lifelong fellowship!

It’s Easy To Save The Date With A Back to the Future Wedding Photoshoot

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:20 pm, January 31st, 2013

Photographer Eric Cash of Shift-4 Photography made one couple’s Back to the Future dreams come true with a fabulous “Save the Date” shoot. Jarrett and Abbie enlisted an Atlanta based Delorean owner to complete their already awesome look. We also adore Abbie for going the less obvious route. “Since I’m currently in medical school, I thought it much more appropriate to dress up as Doc instead of Jennifer,” she said. Let’s just hope their kids don’t turn out to be you-know-whats.
