Party Planner: When Geeks Get Married



Geek meets Chic. Geek falls in love. Chic ignores Geek. Geek gets tired of the chase. Geek creates startup. Geek becomes millionaire. Chic then finally realizes Geek is the love of his/her life. Chic + Geek get married and have a fabulous wedding. What? That's not the story goes? Well, if it did, here are ideas for their fabulous unconventional wedding.

Gifts for guests or bridal party
