Make Your Wedding Gadget-tastic!
Posted by Nick Broughall at 2:23 PM on February 25, 2008
A thought came to me as my fiancee and I spent every waking moment of our weekend working on last minute details for our wedding: why don't you hear about cool wedding gadgets?
I mean, every bride and groom have a registry including all kinds of household items, but outside of toasters, there isn't really that much that tickled my fancy. So this morning I've been roting around in the archives to discover the kind of gadgety goodness I would be happy to receive at my wedding. And yes, you can feel free to take this as a hint...
Robot Celebrant: Sure, this isn't really a gift as such, and I know I'd never get the missus to agree to it, but how cool would it be to get a robot to announce you man and wife? And afterwards at the reception, you could get him drunk and have him dance the robot all night. Awesome!
Geeky Cake: Once again, approval will be difficult, but a gaming-inspired wedding cake is totally up my alley. I would also accept TiVo cakes or R2-D2 Cake.
The Rings: A wedding is like a circle – everything is joined, there is no beginning or end, and it is infinte. Just like Transformers. There can be no Autobots without Decepticons, or vice versa. Of course, the hard part will be deciding who gets to be Megatron and who gets to be Optimus Prime... Another alternative would be the ring that can kill you, but for some reason that just doesn't appeal to me...
The Entertainment: Who needs a DJ when you could have this? Sure, it might be a little bit more expensive than DJ Flaccid from the 'burbs, but it's an orchestra from Ping Pong balls. You just don't get more gadgety than that.
The Booze: If Futurama has taught me anything, it's that booze and robots are like a wedded couple themselves. That's why there are so many examples of beer and robots mating. At my wedding, there will always be room for one more device that helps me drink more beer.
The Transport: We're having a country wedding, so there's no doubt that only one kind of transport will do – The LimoTrack. Is there any finer way to arrive at your big day, than in the back of a stretched tank/limo hybrid. No, there is not.
The Game: I wish I had friends who could code me a wedding game like this. If I did though, I'd probably want to marry them, so maybe this one's a little too much.
And if all of that isn't inspiration enough, you could always just get a man-toaster.
But what have I missed? Let me know in Comments exactly what gadgety goodness I should have on my wedding day (as opposed to my wedding night).
And before any of you say anything, I know that I'm one lucky guy.

This is not a gadget but was referenced on that show (loosely called a sitcom) "Rules of Engagement". Just because you have a cake plate on your registry list doesn't mean you will be getting cake.
