Nerdy soonlyweds, rejoice! As a lifelong geek who’s just married her own nerd in shining armor, I spent a lot of time finding ways to incorporate our fandoms into our wedding.
Though I never found a DIY tutorial for a sonic screwdriver bouquet, I did scare up a bunch of nerdy cufflinks. Since cufflinks are a way to add a subtle, personalized flair to wedding day attire, I can honestly say that I considered trading in my dress for a well-tailored suit just to show off my nerdy side. In the interest of space, I’ve only included a tiny sample of the huge variety of cufflinks available.
