BrentonJohn Does Star Trek Wedding

Star Trek the Rituals, Ceremonies and Celebration
Yes I know your all laughing! JD does his best captain Kirk.
After much contemplation over how much of JD’s personal life should end up online the decision has been made to share a few images and words about the day he got wed to the love of his life. After all Star Trek is part of film, TV and DVD history. (Yes, John Doe is that big of a geek but it was the wife's idea)
Red eyed, drowsy and violently hung over John Doe woke up after a hectic and intoxicated Vegas bucks night to begin the journey to wedded bliss in the outer reaches of the galaxy.
Checking into the Hilton Hotel was made all the more painful when a Mariachi band decided to start playing in the lobby. (Normally Marichi is hunky dory) Every note invading his skull, a bad mood turned near psychotic as thoughts of beating up the wedding party dominated his imagination. (John had been sharing a room with most of them for the week, but that’s another story…)
Fortunately the room was fantastic with a king size bed, after all by this time it was only 3 pm and the ceremony is scheduled for 6 o Clock. Collapsing on the huge mattress Johnny managed to get enough rest to revitalise himself for the events to come.
A couple of hours later it was time for Doe to become groom and as he slid into his captain Kirk era costume a strange feeling of bliss was triggered. Waiting for Mrs Doe to be, who had opted for the Next Generation uniform he was nervous, anxious and a little light headed but looking in the mirror he couldn’t help but smirk.
Excitement brewed with every step towards Star Trek the Experience located just down stairs. After meeting our female Star Fleet Admiral who would perform the rites it was time to proceed to the bridge of the Galaxy class Starship Enterprise.

Strolling down the corridors, reluctantly passing the Trek Museum where Klingon, Borg and Ferengi displays were housed the wedding party came upon a group of Star Fleet officers standing at attention in a military fashion. This was it!
Overwhelmed with wonder as the doors slid open to reveal the prized control centre of the ship, the attention to detail and eerie feeling we had all been here before after viewing so many episodes forced John Doe to giggle.
Exactly how the Bride and groom had pictured in their minds eye. Upon entering they were greeted by an incredibly authentic Klingon, that it turned out possessed a wicked sense of humour while never breaking out of character.
The Resident Klingon in attendance
All becomes a blur here. The emotion and glee of where the couple were and what they were doing became clear like a proton blast to the holo-deck. They were doing it their way and making fantasy reality the rest of their lives.
Best buddies Gingersnap, B and John the first were all in attendance. Everyone in the room fed off the energy making this a joyous celebration.
The Crew
After plenty of photo-ops exploited and continued laughter everyone headed on down to Quark’s bar for the reception. Sitting down but floating on air, the dream like quality of the moment maybe enhanced by the bodies need to drink a hangover into submission.
Immediately Gingersnap orders a drink so large that the waiter had to confirm it demanded more than two people to consume it. Arriving in a fish bowl vessel the green liquid smoking on dry ice was named a Warp Core Breach and rest assured it served as a magic elixir.

The good times rolled into the Sci-Fi themed casino (remember this is Vegas) where amongst the other treasured memories of the days resides the 1 cent Star Wars Poker Machine complete with revolving bonus death star and video features.

It was even better than we imagined. Next time we all catch up for drinks I will bring you some more of my favourite shots.
This is Captain Kirk signing off.

I tries to convince my wife to have a Scorsese gangster-themed wedding, and then realised that between her family and mine - we didn't even need to try!
Complete with fat envelopes.. although not quite as fat as Henry Hill's...
;o)
Congrats once more - and if I knew Star Trek, I would probably say something Trekky here.

-That covers it pretty well Nina, geeky and wonderful.
-Charles, flattery soon make you my best buddy, though my aspiratiosn to William Shatner still trouble me.
-We will Sports Insider, we will.
-Sounds like you would have fit right in MNG.
-Cool plan Yoda, I am blessed with a partner who is possibly even nerdier than me, Im a star wars boy who would have insisted we dress as Han and Chewie.

Wow : I'm blown away by it all, I had heard about these weddings but never seen on and that Warp Core Breach... any clues as to the taste and ingredients...I'd love to try one for my next get together... it looks like a communal Klingon 'Gtargh.' *chuckle*
Great pics, great wedding, CONGRATULATIONS to you both!

This is an extremely belated congratulations. When we were away, I had no luck with commenting on Orble, all I could do was read which was a bit frustrating.
Your wedding is completely unique, what a day it would've been.
Rich and I nearly renewed our vows in Vegas, but we ran out of time. What a place that is!
Really happy for you and thanks for sharing the day, love the pics.
