Like most guys I know, I spent approximately 2×10^-29 seconds thinking about my wedding before I got engaged (this is why so many women are in charge of the wedding planning – they’ve already done it before the guy proposes). Even with that lack of preparation, I like to think that Rebecca’s and my wedding was pretty cool. In the past week two things have happened to make me think “damn, I wish I’d thought of that”.

Last Sunday was Amy’s wedding in the ultra conservative state of Massachusetts. It was good to see Amy and Jon, a couple clearly meant for each other, wedded. It was also practically a mini college reunion. (We look so respectable now, how the heck did that happen?)  When it came time for the reception the tables did not have numbers – instead they were labeled with star trek locations! Deep Space 9, Vulcan, Kronos, Cardasia Prime, The Neutral Zone, Sector 001, etc. (For the record, I was sitting at Rura Penthe. Hmmmmm).

The second thing is that Corey Doctorow is now engaged, and has decided that for his wedding ring he wants… (wait for it)… a secret decoder ring!  He asked master cryptographer Bruce Schneier to help design it. Dang, that is really awesome. Maybe I can get one anyway, then just photoshop all my wedding pictures so make it look like it was my wedding ring.
