Your free time will be exterminated, hanging out with your friends on the weekend will be exterminated. That huge Star Trek Enterprise replica you have displayed on your kitchen table? Exterminated. All gone. You may as well have some Dalek Cake toppers on your wedding cake.

These cake toppers come courtesy of Geeks Are Sexy reader, Lee. These Daleks were originally pencil toppers and are the newer versions of the Daleks. The veil was made from a piece of old lace ribbon. The top hat comes from the middle of a cotton reel. The colors of the Daleks matched the color scheme of the wedding.

I hope they live geekily ever after.

When a graphic designer and a video game programmer get married, this is what happens: a profusion of pixels. Not only did the bride walk down the aisle clutching the above bouquet, but the wedding also featured custom 8-bit cake toppers and jewelry for the wedding party.

Perhaps the best part? They made it all themselves. How better to control the exact outcome?

Of course, doing-it-yourself doesn’t always mean you’re saving money. Bride Donelle reports that working within a modest budget was one of the couple’s motivations for their custom wedding, but their DIY efforts cost more than expected. Looking at the final result, though, I’d say it was worth it.
