Trying to hit the nerdy perfecta...

FI and I are going over what we want in our wedding.  We're both nerds, but I'm Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek, he's Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.  We meet at Harry Potter.  So far, we have:

-- Victorian-era engagement ring (SH)
-- he was originally going to use his LoTR One Ring as a wedding band, but
-- because my sister got us Star Wars Han-Leia bands ("I love you" and "I know"), he's probably going to wear the LoTR as his own sort of engagement ring (we're separated by an ocean right now)
-- Harry Potter cupcakes, in lieu of cake (we're probably eloping, and cupcakes are more portable)

The problem is my Star Trek love. Been a fan since I was six, and 22 years of <3 deserves some recognition.  My favorite character is Spock (Leonard Nimoy -- Zach Quinto is cool, but nothing beats Nimoy).  I was considering science insignia earrings, but I rarely wear jewellery except for cosplay or super special occasions -- the rings themselves are a novelty for me, as I've only ever owned a high school class ring. 

I'm likely to wear a vintage cocktail dress in lace, flowy cap sleeves, so my shoes, legs, and arms will be visible.  The other send-ups are fairly low-key -- I don't want Mr. Spock's gazing up my skirt from my shoes and REALLY obvious.  So any ideas on how to get Star Trek into the wedding?

  • The only thing I could think of is a star trek garter.

  • Are you carrying a bouquet? Could you pin the insignia to that?

  • How about a small pin or patch on your dress or on a clip in your hair? That may be too much but I would consider it myself.

    If you don't mind Next Gen/DS9/Voyager, you could do the little rank pips near the collar of your dress. I think TOS just has the badge. 

    Someone makes a perfume set- Pon Farr is the one for women :) No one would know. I can't vouch for whether it is gross smelling or nice. 

     You could play some of the great variations on the TOS or other theme song as a slow dance :)
