This just in: Fanboys can be weird. If you need proof, look no further than Florida, where a happy couple are planning a Halo-themed wedding and intend to be married by none other than Master Chief himself. Yes.
MTV has the scoop, where it is revealed that bride-to-be Desirai Labrada took Dramamine just so she could binge on Halo 3 campaigns with fiancé John Henry and not get motion sickness. Apparently, the families of the betrothed are either confused or being kept in the dark. Desirai's bridal gown will be emblazoned with her Halo emblem, while the traditional "Bridal Theme" will of course be replaced by the famous Halo theme.
But just in case this story couldn't get more absurd, there's this utter gem:
Full Sail suggested that the wedding get moved up to early 2009, to be held during the school’s Otronicon tech and gaming convention in Orlando. The problem was that the wedding date wouldn’t fall on any of the Halo-themed dates John and Desirai were considering, like the Halo launch anniversary in November. Full Sail’s plans called for the marriage to commence on January 17. Desirai and John accepted this non-Halo element. And then, a magical moment occurred. “At one point, I’m typing in the URL that has the date, the number 117,” Desirai said. “And I said, ‘John, what’s Master Chief’s Spartan number?’ He said: ‘117.’ ” Saved!
If the ceremony doesn't end with "you may now teabag the bride," it'll be a wasted opportunity. If you want to know more about the happy couple, check out their site. It is called -- I kid you not -- A Match Made in Halo.

But I seem to have defied math laws, as this has just lowered my faith in humanity.
OHOHOHOHO
10 bucks says they name their first daughter Cortana.

Yes it's a little overboard, but I'm all for it. If it makes them both happy and brings them together, more power to them.
Also, that's a hell of a matchmaking system Bungie's got set up. *rimshot*
As long as it's not World of Warcraft themed...that'd just be disgusting.
I mean seriouslly there's obsession and there's this. what sort of mental disease do you have to have in order to try something like this?
I can't believe that didn't occur to you Jim, forgetting your roots already? :P
I love that no matter which news site you go to, there will always be immature fucking retarded posters.
And what a strange thing for everyone to get worked up over. Does it really matter how these people get married?
:')
"THE GROOM IS A SPY!"
PASTOR CHIEF: (Mumbling through huge helmet)Mmph, mummmphamuble?
GROOM: I do.
PASTOR CHIEF: Muph, Mummamunnununphadff?
BRIDE: I do.
PASTOR CHIEF: Mmph. Nummuhdff, mummmamussduhbff.
GROOM: Sorry?
PASTOR CHIEF: Nummuhdff, mummmamussduhbff!
BRIDE: We can't hear you!
ALTAR BOY DRESSED UP AS CORTANA: Jesus... You're married. Kiss the bride!

KINDA LIKE RELIGION AMIRITE KIDS? AMIRITE? NO? OKAY.
Seriously though, the issue isn't that they're going to this extreme over a video game, it's that they're going to this extreme over a mind-numbingly generic video game.
Show me the Shadow of the Colossus-themed wedding, and I'll give 'em my blessing. Hell, I'd perform the marriage myself.
WHO ARE THE FUCKING LOSERS NOW MOTHERFUCKERS?
Seriously, 9 out of 10 times, everyone on DToid's wedding will suck horribly donkey balls on the level of "Fun-Ness".
At least they are trying to make it not boring as shit.
I'm getting married in court. Screw this shit.
YOU MAY NOW BONK THE BRIDE.
Well, at least they've got a passion to share. I wonder how Recon will affect their marriage..
the cardboard Halo kid died, shot himself on accident...
You're kidding, right?
