One recently married couple loved World of Warcraft so much they decided to make Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG the theme for their matrimony. The Offbeat Bride (via The Huffington Post) this week posted images of Jen and Nick's Warcraft-themed wedding and it's the ultimate fantasy come to life.

The Warcraft-themed wedding (which took place in New Hampshire) included Alliance and Horde flags on the altar and the couple also crafted their own weapons based on items from the game. Tables at the reception were even named after World of Warcraft raid bosses.

Jen and Nick did not meet in World of Warcraft, but that's where their relationship blossomed, Jen wrote on the website.

"He lived in New Hampshire at the time, and I was in Massachusetts, but we could talk through the game and grow together," she said. "So the game became part of the wedding theme, since it was so integral to our relationship. We aimed for a balance between nerd and tradition."

The wedding wasn't all about Warcraft, however. Jen's processional music was the Game of Thrones theme, while the after-party featured "Terra's Theme" from Final Fantasy. On top of that, when Jen and Nick presented each other with rings at the altar, the "Get Item" sound from The Legend of Zelda played.

Last month, BioWare recalled how two Mass Effect 3 players met, fell in love, and were eventually married. You can read that story here.

Lots of nerdy dudes with a few ugly girls, just like the real WoW population.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Actually those women look good. Gaming nerds just think they're ugly because they always compare them to the sterotypical unreal females in the games their playing.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Orrrrr..they're happy with that's how they met. Maybe they want to embrace their relationship and what brought them together. Wanna talk about classy? Just take a walk down the Vegas strip and look at all the trash. I see nothing here what wouldn't be seen as "classy." A wedding is your fantasy. Not what society tells you is your fantasy.

Do what you love and love what you do. Better than hiding what you enjoy just because you might be embarrassed of what others think of you.

This reminds me of that old "SerenityNow bombs a funeral" video. When do the Horde crash this wedding?

I'm sure this was all the guy could get away with, holding some WoW weapons in one picture.

Even if you are not a Warcraft fan, you can't deny that this seems much cooler than a normal wedding.

Good for them. Looks like a tight knit bunch of friends. Even if you don't like WoW or MMORPGs in particular, nice feel good story about what looks like a great gaming and friend group. Congratulations to the happy couple.
