So far I've met ladies who had Harry Potter, lolita, elven/renaissance, comic/superhero, and gamer weddings, and I would love to meet even more.
FH and I are avid gamers (PS3, PC and retro) and will be incorporating our love of all things geeky into our big day. What do you and your FH/hubby enjoy, and how does it fit into your wedding or plans?
Re: Geeky/gamer reception? Share here!
To answer your question, books have been incorporated in several places. We talked about naming the tables our "favorite things" which would have meant an HP table, a Wolverine table, an LOTR table. But I couldn't get to look like I wanted so I switched back to numbers.
I think if you're going to go with something specific like a series, videogame, book, etc. You should be very subtle. Think of the colors, fashion, foods, and environment present in your chosen "world" rather than choosing to be/look like exactly a specific character/scene/etc.
I also think a well-crafted wedding cake/grooms cake is an excellent way to incorporate all things geeky

The plan is to have a string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We'll be using the Throne Room music from A New Hope as the recessional and hopefully be working in the Cantina song into cocktail hour. Instead of table numbers we're doing Star Wars planets, but that's really going to be it. My goal was to have a few references worked in for the nerds (and we know a bunch) but not to have it scream Star Wars to the non-nerds. We're also hoping to have a Free Comic Book Day run the day before
