Wedding: 14/01/2017

Posted by Lucy | 23 August, 2017

Kalgoorlie lovebirds Bianca Johnston and Troy Stidworthy threw an ā€œelegant nerd extravaganzaā€ for their pop culture wedding on January 14, 2017.

The couple, aged 28 and 34 respectively, married with a ceremony at Fremantle Round House and reception at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle with their 65 guests. The grandĀ event included a Batman celebrant, centerpieces crafted into individual fandoms, video game consoles to keep guests entertained and, Halo Spartans and Warmachine charactersĀ to escort the newlyweds around the venue.

ā€œTroy had proposed with a comic book montage he’d created of our lives together so far, it was amazingly heartfelt and totally us,ā€ explains Bianca. ā€œLittle did he know that this created the stepping stone for our wedding theme.ā€

The bride and her bridesmaids wore customised Converse to fit the theme. ā€œWe glitzed them while keeping them geeky,ā€ smiles the bride. It was only fitting she walked down the aisle in those Converse to the Jurassic Park theme song.

ā€œOur wedding was extremely unique and personalised with every detail. It was memorable to us and all of our guests,ā€ says the bride. ā€œTroy is the Han Solo to my Leia!ā€
