A glittering geeky winter wedding with groom-made custom cake toppers

Kev and Rachel's February wedding in New Brunswick was a little bit nerdy and a lot of sexy. Rachel's open-back, black, sequined dress brought the sexy, and Kev brought the nerdy by hand-making the 8-bit-esque centerpieces out of Perler beads.

Kev's creations were all geekdom couples: Princess Peach and Mario, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Kev even made Perler bead caketoppers to resemble himself and Rachel. His own mini-me is sporting his red beard, and Rachel's rocks a replica of her black evening gown and is perfectly crafted to reflect that she was born with Miller Syndrome.

I love me a low-key wedding, and this is like a fancy cocktail hour with friends where, oh by the way, they get married, too.

Sometimes people think my life is harder because of my disability, but it's not. It's just different. Everybody has things they have to deal with in their lives, my 'thing' just happens to be a disability. - Rachel
