The Periodic Table of Wedding Table Seatings

Personally, I'm a big fan of open seating at a wedding, but for those who want go with assigned seating, the Periodic Table of Tables is certainly a clever way to tell your guests where they should find their seat. Image by Vis Photography.

Jay-Z's Got 99 Problems

If you know anything about Jay-Z, then you know he's got 99 problems, but a female certainly isn't one. As for what those problems are, a new Tumblr, probs99, is seeking to illustrate all of them so we can better relate with Beyonce's man.

The brilliant illustrations are created by Ali Graham.

Harry Potter Heels Are Great for Booking It!

They might not be custom painted like a lot of the cool geek shoes we have featured here, but for fans who always claim the book version of Harry Potter is way better than the movie version, they're almost certainly the best option. I just wonder if Etsy seller AccioMischeif would use your favorite book of the series if you want her too.

I've Never Related So Much to a Little Piglet

Some little piggie might have gone to the market, but this little piggie is who I want to hang out with on a hot summer day. He knows how to relax on a hot summer day, complete with a nice ice cream cone.

Forget the Cronut, Here's the Crookie

A croissant mixed with a donut? That's cool, but a croissant with a delicious double stuffed Oreo cookie inside? Now that's brilliant!

The Crookie was created by Clafouti Patisserie et Cafe, and now, I want to go to there.

A Human Wall Protecting Baby Tortoises

Loggerhead tortoises are endangered and the most dangerous period of their life is when they cross from their nest to the sea. That's because birds find the little cuties to be tasty little snacks. Fortunately, this July 1, when 100 loggerheads recently headed to the sea from the Caribbean island of Bonaire, there were plenty of volunteers there to help guide the little babes to the ocean without fear of attack -and to keep them from getting lost on their short journey.

These Are The Toys I'm Looking For

Like many geeks, photographer Avanaut enjoys playing with his LEGO toys. Unlike most of us though, he actually makes amazingly life-like images by photographing them with fake snow and in other settings to make them look just like they do in the movies. The entire series is amazing.

14 Great Geek Bouquets And Boutonnieres

We cover a lot of geeky wedding stuff on Neatorama, but if you just can’t get enough nerdy wedding pictures (whether or not you’re in the midst of planning a wedding), here are some fantastic bouquets and boutonnieres perfect for any geeks ready to join together in matrimony.

Angry Birds

Etsy seller RBKCreations makes all kinds of awesome custom wedding bouquets and boutonnieres. This Angry Birds bouquet would be perfect for throwing to a crowd, but it would be even better if the bride used a slingshot for the bouquet toss.

Muppets

If you really want to do something creative with your bouquets, RBKCreations will even custom make a themed wedding bouquet just for you. Here is a sample from one custom order she made, with a Muppets theme. Personally though, if I were the bride, I’d be bummed I didn’t get any characters on my bouquet.

Mario

RBKCreations also makes these adorable Mario-inspired wedding bouquets with felt fire flowers and button-adorned mushrooms. She even makes matching bridesmaids bouquets and fire flower boutonnieres for the groom and his groomsmen.

Super Mario Galaxy

If you’re going to be married inside of a hobby and gaming store with a TARDIS as your altar, you’d better have a few other great geeky touches to your wedding as well. Fortunately, Laura and Calvin lived up to their self-proclaimed nerdom, incorporating lines from The Princess Bride into their vows, serving up Mario cupcakes for dessert and using a bouquet inspired by Super Mario Galaxy, complete with hovering stars and mushrooms.

Fire Flowers and Minifigs

This Cake is Sure to Make You Slothful

We at Neatorama are of the opinion that pretty much anything sloth-related is adorable, but this cake might be an exception given those horrorific vampire teeth and the fact that he's urging a bunch of strawberry chicks to sacrifice one of their own to the devil.

Because Gameboys Have Always Been Cool

When you were a kid, you loved your Gameboy because it provided you entertainment no matter where you went. Now you can enjoy boozy entertainment wherever you go thanks to Etsy seller AthenasWink's Gamebooze flask.

Timey Wimey Jewelry Rewelry

TimeMachineJewelry has an incredibly apt name, given how many Doctor Who and steampunk jewelry items they happen to sell. While they're all great, this Center of the Storm necklace is my particular favorite, though it is, unfortunately, already sold out.

How to Be More Like A Dog

(Video Link)

If cats can be more doglike, then maybe I could be too. After all, who doesn't want the opportunity to run and play like our favorite four-legged friends?

Velma and Scooby Fight Off the Zombie Apocalypse

Not only is The Queen of Chibilabd's cosplay of Velma and a reall-life version Scooby post-apocalypse style impressive, it's even a dead ringer for the Threadless shirt that inspired it (it's called We've Got Some Work to Do Now if you're interested). I'm particularly impressed with her great Dane munching on the zombie arm just for the sake of the cosplay.

Extermi-bake These Cookies Immediately

We've featured cool custom Doctor Who cookie cutters before, but unlike those ones, these can actually be purchased on Etsy, thanks to Warpzone, so you can start baking your own Daleks, Weeping Angels, K9s Cybermen and more right in the comfort of your own home.

The Game of Thrones Wedding Cake

Do you take this man to watch your Wall  through white walkers and wars? I do.

This Game of Thrones wedding may just be created as part of a wedding shoot and not an actual ceremony, but I for one would love to see this cake and the vows above used at a real wedding.
