Halo Wedding

[TheRob]

From Mtv Multiplayer Blog

I’ve found a couple of “Halo” fans in Florida who are having a “Halo” wedding in January, backed by Full Sail University.

Not only are they letting me attend the wedding and cover it, but they let me announce a lot of the details today in a story at MTVNews.com.

A few choice details from my story:

…in an act of sacrifice only possible during a blossoming romance, Desirai agreed to take Dramamine so she could last through three-hour binges of campaign mode on “Halo 3” with John without getting motion sickness.

and more amazing details…

The concept of a “Halo” wedding doesn’t mesh with all family traditions. John floated the idea to his family, whom he described as being “along the redneck side.” Some of them got it but remain perplexed as to what they should wear. It seems that some guests think they have to dress in “Halo” fashions. They don’t. Desirai’s family is so “very old-fashioned Cuban” that she hasn’t told them about the gaming theme. “I figure the less they know about it, the less they can protest,” Desirai said. She’s telling herself that it won’t be a big hassle anyway, because her wedding will be a subtle affair. Many people won’t realize that the emblem on her wedding dress is her “Halo” emblem, for example. They won’t realize that, instead of the “Bridal Chorus,” the song playing is the music that plays on the “Halo 3″ menu screen. But the officiant dressed in the Master Chief armor might be the giveaway that there’s something different about these nuptials.

and…

Another small crisis: 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!

I couldn't help but laugh as I read through the article. This is taking Halo too far. So far, it's ridiculous. Seriously... This is worse than that McDonald's drive-thru wedding.

I'm sure someday they'll look back on their wedding day and think, "What the hell was I thinking?"

Hey, I don't think its the fact that they are doing a Halo theme wedding (I think its cool though, wouldn't mind dressing up as Master Chief for a wedding), it's as long as they are happy, right?

Oh also, pretty cool on the date!
