Kalgoorlie lovebirds Bianca Johnston and Troy Stidworthy threw an \u201celegant nerd extravaganza\u201d for their pop culture wedding on January 14, 2017.<\/p>\n

The couple, aged 28 and 34 respectively, married with a ceremony at Fremantle Round House and reception at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle<\/a> with their 65 guests. The grand\u00a0event included a Batman celebrant, centerpieces crafted into individual fandoms, video game consoles to keep guests entertained and, Halo Spartans and Warmachine characters\u00a0to escort the newlyweds around the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cTroy had proposed with a comic book montage he’d created of our lives together so far, it was amazingly heartfelt and totally us,\u201d explains Bianca. \u201cLittle did he know that this created the stepping stone for our wedding theme.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bride and her bridesmaids wore customised Converse to fit the theme. \u201cWe glitzed them while keeping them geeky,\u201d smiles the bride. It was only fitting she walked down the aisle in those Converse to the Jurassic Park<\/em> theme song.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur wedding was extremely unique and personalised with every detail. It was memorable to us and all of our guests,\u201d says the bride. \u201cTroy is the Han Solo to my Leia!\u201d<\/p>\n
