Any ideas from Match.com couples?

My fiance and I met on Match.com, and were thinking about incorporating that into our wedding somehow.

I was hoping to find out if any other match.com couples out there had incorporated any match-themed concepts into their wedding?    i.e., match flame color scheme (red, orange, yellow), personalized match books, etc.

Any ideas?  
Thanks!

    That just seems like overkill to me.  Perhaps just have the matchbooks as a little payment of homage to how you guys met.

    FI and I met working the Jungle Cruise, so our "guest books" are a series of large Jungle Cruise art prints that the guests will sign.  That's the only reference to it in the whole wedding.

    I think the matchbooks would be sufficient.  Anything more and it either starts looking cheesy, or like a Match.com commercial.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Yeah I should have figured that out from your location.  Either way, super cool :)

    There is one more thing: Instead of "You may now kiss the bride," our officiant, who was also one of our supervisors at Jungle, is saying, "Hit it, skips!"  That's more of an inside joke, though, I don't expect any of the guests (well, any of the ones who didn't work Jungle with us) to get it.
