If I was a chick there would be no competition.  Not only would I wear this dress to my prom, but every single one of my bridesmaids would be decked out in 24,000 LED bulbs.

Created by two designers in London for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the LED bulbs of the Galaxy Dress are diffused by layers of silk chiffon and a silk crinoline skirt. Embedded in the spaces between the LEDs are at least 4000 Swarovski crystals. No woman has yet worn this dress as it went right from the design floor to the museum and with a price tag that’s sure to be in the hundreds of thousands or even the millions, there’s little chance most women (or men, we don’t judge) will even have a chance.

When I think wedding cakes I think five foot tall tiered monsters, not one leveled gaming cakes. Don’t get me wrong, I think this cake would be absolutely AWESOME for a birthday or anniversary or even just a gaming get-together, but I think something as sacred as a geeky wedding calls for a little more than a single level Tetris cake.

They also don’t take into consideration the basic premise of the game. If these piece were all in place, the lines would have already vanished into your score. Come on people, think!

They totally stole my idea! Featuring multi-tiered zombie madness, the wedding cake toppers on this baked bad boy are desperately trying to be wed in holy matrimony before their brains are devoured. But will they make it in time?

Next week on When Baked Zombies Attack!

The garter belt is one of the key elements to a successful wedding reception, second only to a great geeky wedding cake. I remember a time when I was around 7 or 8 that I happened to be the dude that caught the garter and was forced to put it on some old woman. That was not my proudest moment.

I might have been a little more excited and perhaps less scarred for life if I had seen a garter belt such as one of these. It might have shielded my attention from the varicose veins in my near future. The Pac-Man or Stormtrooper Garter Belts are guaranteed to add some life to your budget wedding reception.

This lucky couple was chosen out of 500 applicants to have a special Gundam-themed wedding event at the Odaiba life-sized Gundam statue.

The images from wedding are both amusing and breath-taking. The sheer size of that thing. I still can’t get over it.

It’s a common sight at weddings and large family gatherings. The men of the family often dance with one of the younger girls of the family, often times, their own daughter or granddaughter. The girl, being so short, must stand on the man’s feet to keep up with the dance. These Dance Shoes were designed for the classic father / daughter dance team.

The Dance Shoes do all the hard work of balancing and take the strain off the child. Also perfect for midgets!

Leave it to New Yorkers to one up the rest of America. Noah Fulmore and Erin Finnegan dropped more than $16,000 on a wedding in a zero-G plane. A 90 minute ride full of dives and twists allowed the happy couple to say “I do” entirely upside down. Too cool.

Here’s a wedding ring that’s out of the ordinary. A “Yes, I Do” sound wave is cut-out of the ring. No engraving your significant other’s favorite love poem on this ring. There’s no room for it. Designer Sakura Koshimizu uses lasers to cut out the shape of the waveform produced from your own “Yes I Do.”

Using some sound editing software, Sakura records your voice during the ceremony. The software will show the sound waves on the screen, which are then fed into a laser which cuts it out of the silver. She even makes earrings out of the cut-out sound waves. No wasted materials here, folks.

In Japan, you apparently can be charged with illegal access of a computer and manipulating electronic data if found guilty of intentionally “killing” someone’s MMO character. Some guy divorced his online wife’s avatar in Maple Story and in her anger she killed his character. Now, she faces a prison sentence of up to five years or a fine of up to $5,000 dollars.

Yowch! I believe a few lessons can be learned here. Firstly, never marry in a video game. Virtual settings and life-long relationships don’t mesh. Secondly, don’t play Maple Story. It sucks.

It wouldn’t be Monday without the obligatory Star Wars post. This Star Wars themed wedding posted on Flickr has all the guests dressed in their favorite Star Wars characters. The groom as Admiral Ackbar is for some strange reason or another settling for some Corellian chick. Where are all the Mon Calamari women?

Complete with an At-At Walker based cake, this wedding had nearly everything. Holy moly, even Lobot made an appearence:
