Bride
and Groom Keyboard Dusters
Nothing says lifelong happiness like a clean keyboard! These
wedding favors cost $42 for a dozen.

Tuxedo
Now wouldn’t it be weird if your bride showed up in a
light-up wedding dress and you wore a tuxedo with zero luminosity? Never fear:
the same company that makes the dress will also light up your tux. Phew.
Spinning Bow Tie
At some point, the man who engineered these spinning bow
ties worked at the Department of Defense. So they’re really safe bow ties.
The bow ties come in 37 standard colors and cost $40 to $55.
There’s also an option to purchase a matching cummerbund – because wearing one
that didn’t match your spinning bow tie might look silly.
8-Bit
Wedding Invitations
In order to unlock reception details, invited guests of this
wedding had to beat a video game that doubled as an invitation.
Enlightened
Wedding Dress
About 300 gold-tinted LED lights were installed in this
wedding dress to imitate the effect of candlelight. The puffiness of this
particular dress provided plenty of places to hide the battery pack, but
the folks who made it take custom orders for lighting up
just about any garment.
USB Flash Drive Cufflinks
The reality is that most USB cufflinks just aren’t classy
enough to wear in a wedding. Not so with these sleek $195 4GB (2GB each)
cufflinks designed by Ravi Ratan.
Portrait Projecting Ring
From the mid-19th century onwards, images hidden in
miniature microphotagraphic lenses called stanhopes have been
incorporated into small items like sewing accessories, writing equipment, and
pipes. This ring, which is inspired by stanhopes, reveals interchangeable
slides of family portraits when light shines through it. Luke Jerram worked with
a local jeweler to make the wedding ring for his wife and smashed digital
cameras to find the right lens.
I-Fairy
Robot
A couple in Japan garnered much media attention when they chose I-Fairy, a 4-foot tall
robot manufactured by Kokoro, to lead their nuptials. As of May, there were
only three I-Fairies working around the world. If you have about $68,000 to
budget for a minister, you can buy one of your very own.
USB
Wedding Ring
No, it’s not a functional USB drive. But it’s the best
looking USB drive we’ve ever seen, and believe us, we’ve seen a
lot of USB drives. The fiancé of a Microsoft game developer had this geeky
ring custom made for him. The interior is engraved with the words, “For a
lifetime of memories.”
