Cheap Xbox Live : Video Game-Themed Weddings

Rock Band

For Adele and John’s first dance, they required a few props: a projector, a screen, an Xbox, and their favorite game, “Rock Band.” They grabbed the guitars and rocked out to a rendition of a song by their favorite band, Coheed and Cambria. Their families then joined in on the fun and performed “The Power of Love.” Afterward, they moved the gaming equipment to a special area where guests could do their best Jimi Hendrix impressions all night long.

Halo

Desirai and John’s shared love of Halo brought them together — they met through Xbox Live and began regularly playing as teammates, making small talk between matches and quickly becoming friends. One day, when Desirai signed on to play a game with John, he wasn’t online. She left him a message with her number, telling him to call if he wanted to play. “I never thought he’d actually call, but I’m glad he did.” After that initial phone call, they began spending more time on the phone than playing the game, and they officially started dating in March of 2005, despite having never met in person. The following month, they finally met face-to-face — and three months later, Desirai moved down to Florida to attend college and be with John. After John proposed on their three-year anniversary, they knew that their wedding theme would be “A Match Made in Halo.”

Minecraft

Matt and Asia bonded over their love of the game of Minecraft. “They built a house together in the digital world and have been inseparable ever since, both in the game and in real life,” said their photographer, The Goodness. Matt even proposed to Asia on stage at MineCon, a Minecraft convention. Given their history, it was no surprise when they chose Minecraft for their wedding theme. They created pixel trees and characters from cardboard boxes, displayed artwork from the game, and even ordered custom Jones soda with emblems from the game on the labels.
