Now You're Wedding With Power: NES Groom's Cake

We get married all the time and our weddings are never nerdy. Or interesting. Ours usually involve a boring-ass ceremony and a bunch drunken old folks cutting a rug to MC Hammer. And sometimes Uncle Joey gets in a fight and the cops are called. But that's only when gin is served. Otherwise he just does lame Popeye impressions and repeatedly tells us to "cut it out." What, though, we're not so sure. But we do appreciate the accompanying hand motion -- it's endearing.

Also endearing? This NES groom's cake for the wedding of Scott and Allison Shackelford [via GoNintendo]:

No blowing required, either. Just chomping. And swallowing. Then more chomping.

And unlike the Katamari Damacy-themed wedding we covered a few weeks back, it seems like this one is a wee bit classier. Oops! Did I say classy? Check out a semi-saucy pic (and more cake shots) after the break.

A wedding full of love and nostalgia. That's awesome.

See, if that was my cake, and despite all the good times I had with the NES, I will still think: "That's the fucking console with the Top Gun game. You couldn't land shit!"

Rather they are both Game Nerds, or she really, really, really, REALLY loves that guy!

Mark Rosewater's wedding - the nerd wedding to end all nerd weddings. http://www.wizards.com/Magic/m...daily/mm/8

"Our means of seating guests (instead of Bride Side and Groom Side, we had Even and Odd; every guest rolled a giant 6-sided die upon entering)"

There's an obvious mistake on that NES cake. The "Restart" button should be "Reset". Shame on the decorator.

@Mario - Oh, yeah! My Nintendo did not say Shackelford on it either.... smilies/grin.gif

But c'mon! That cake is amazing!

I'm actually amazed there has not been a "the cake is a lie" joke about this yet.

I want a cool cake when I get married now.

@David - smilies/grin.gif Nice!

It just hit me! What would beat this cake, you ask? A POWER GLOVE CAKE!

It's so bad......
