This past January, Jeff and Erin Wong dazzled the Internet with their epic video wedding invite, which featured the couple in just about every blockbuster movie stereotype. The 7 Most Outrageous Wedding Stunts
We thought that was pretty cool until we saw "Darino and Niko's Incredible Adventure," an 8-bit video game where invitees can play as either the bride or the groom to receive details about the wedding. Here's a clip from their Mario/Donkey Kong-inspired creation:
Pretty neat, huh? You can view another clip and download the game itself over at Switched. We can only imagine what kind of cute and geeky antics this couple will play on their game day, er, wedding day.

2. Childhood Throwback. There's no video for this one, but graphic design couple Julia and Bobby mailed out Viewmasters homemade, personalized 3-D images!

You can see photos of the invitations and read how the bride and groom created them here.
3. Do It Yourself: Matt and Jill Dorfman's wedding invitations, which recall a 1940's magazine advertisement, not only tell the story of their 7-year, long-distance courtship, but they included cute little fold-and-pull RSVP postcards.

4. Geek Love. If there's one thing you should learn from this post, it's that you should never underestimate the creativity of nerds.
