What's Geekier Than a Ferengi Bridesmaid?

gbulmash asks: "The newly updated "Star Trek: The Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton not only offers thrills, chills, and a Borg invasion... It's offering Trek-themed Wedding Packages. You can be married on a replica of the Enterprise bridge by a costumed starfleet officer and have additional Trek characters as guests. I thought "how geeky", but then remembered the guy who paid $22,550 for Joaquin Phoenix's white armor from Gladiator , claiming he was going to wear it at his wedding. All this has inspired me to ask what's the geekiest or nerdiest thing you've ever encountered at a wedding? There was a thread on geeky party favors for a wedding last year, but this question goes beyond that... getting married by a Gandalf impersonator, a cake shaped like Cthulu, groom dressed as Darth Vader and his best man is a stormtrooper. I know tales like these are out there, so please share them."

It's just some bad fiction--don't bother with the journal entry.

Naked

[Plutor]

Am I the only one who realizes that a Ferengi bridesmaid would have to be naked to be realistic? Female Ferengi aren't permitted to wear clothes!

FYI - This is not Simpsons Plagiarism

I submitted this "Ask Slashdot" item on April 2nd, well before the "My Big Fat Geek Wedding" episode aired, and it sat in "pending" status until now. Any resemblance to "The Simpsons" is coincidental.

As for a Ferengi bridesmaid having to be naked, who says it has to be female? I know of at least one woman who had her gay male best friend be her maid of honor. And no, he didn't wear a dress. He wore a man's suit, but in the same color as the bridesmaids dresses.
