This just in: Fanboys can beweird. If you need proof, look no further than Florida, where a happy couple are planning aHalo-themed wedding and intend to be married by none other than Master Chief himself. Yes.
MTV has the scoop, where it is revealed that bride-to-be Desirai Labrada took Dramamine just so she could binge onHalo 3campaigns with fiancé John Henry and not get motion sickness. Apparently, the families of the betrothed are either confused or being kept in the dark. Desirai’s bridal gown will be emblazoned with herHaloemblem, while the traditional “Bridal Theme” will of course be replaced by the famousHalotheme.
But just in case this story couldn’t get more absurd, there’s this utter gem:
Full Sail suggested that the wedding get moved up to early 2009, to be held during the school’s Otronicon tech and gaming convention in Orlando. The problem was that the wedding date wouldn’t fall on any of theHalo-themed dates John and Desirai were considering, like theHalolaunch anniversary in November. Full Sail’s plans called for the marriage to commence on January 17. Desirai and John accepted this non-Haloelement. And then, a magical moment occurred. “At one point, I’m typing in the URL that has the date, the number 117,” Desirai said. “And I said, ‘John, what’s Master Chief’s Spartan number?’ He said: ‘117.’ ” Saved!
If the ceremony doesn’t end with “you may now teabag the bride,” it’ll be a wasted opportunity. If you want to know more about the happy couple, check out their site. It is called — I kid you not —A Match Made in Halo.
