Reddit user Homerliwag designed this custom Indiana Jones themed engagement ring for his own Marion, because she loves the movies so much. The ring itself resembles Indy’s coiled whip, and the stone the golden idol. Was it cheaper than a traditional diamond engagement ring? No clue, but that was pretty clever of him if it was. That gives me an idea… Geekologie Writer : Will you marry me? Girlfriend : …This is a Nerd Rope necklace with a Ring Pop pendant. Geekologie Writer : I know, you love candy. Girlfriend : Yes — my answer’s yes! Hit the jump for several more shot including a design schematic.

Want a wedding band created using the same ‘mokume gane’ technique as authentic samurai swords ? You’re in luck! But also out of luck because you’re getting married . There’s only one way out of this: I’m gonna have to cut your ring finger off. Ready? HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YA! *you bleeding* Perfect, looks like I got it right above the knuckle. Now let’s do the left hand. Mokume gane is…a metal working technique developed in Japan approximately three to four hundred years ago, in which two or more layers of metal are permanently joined together in alternating layers to form a stack (or billet). In the traditional Japanese technique the bond was achieved by diffusion welding of the layers in a charcoal forge. On this laminated billet patterns of the different colored alloys were created by a combination of cutting, twisting, and forging of the laminate in ways to expose the various layers. The patterned billet was then formed into finished work by applying standard forging and fabrication techniques. No word on price, but you know what they say, “If you have to ask, you’re obviously poor and security’s watching on CCTV to make sure you don’t steal anything.” Quick, pocket some throwing stars and run! James Binnion Metal Works Product Site via I’d Like My Ring Samurai Style [gizmodo] Thanks to Jake, who agrees the ring is definitely less mighty than the sword (the One Ring excluded of course).

Microsoft Game Studios Software Development Engineer Ray Arifianto’s soon-to-be wife had this custom USB wedding band made for him. Why? Because flash memory is the language of looooove.

You know it’s a really beautiful thing when two people decide to share their lives together. Unfortunately, there’s something about me that sends all my relationships packing.

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with the story besides it’s of a bunch of Princess Leias having a pillow fight and God has bestowed me with the power of awesomeness. But no need to thank me folks, I did it for myself. So anyway, Darth Vader’s daughter just got pulled over for drunk driving . Police found the mother-of-two Dodds, 28, dressed in white robes with plaited hair, while her husband was wearing robes. “She was dressed as Princess Leia and her husband as Luke Skywalker and they found it was a bit embarrassing to walk the streets of Murton dressed in their costumes. When breathalysed she was more than twice over the legal drink driving limit. Magistrates banned Dodds from driving for 20 months, fined her 255 and ordered her to pay 60 in costs and a 15 victim surcharge. Dear. Mrs Dodds (aka the woman who likes to get drunk and dress as Princess Leia, aka the woman of my dreams), Firstly: if you were my girl, you would never have to drive drunk, because I have droids for that shit. Secondly: I can’t believe your husband (aka Luke Failwalker) didn’t even have the decency to Force choke and/or mind trick the arresting officer. You, princess, are running with the wrong Jedi.
