Hasta La Gadget!

Paul Michael Design makes so many awesome geek rings that we can’t believe he is still coming out with fresh neat stuff. Check out his new X-Wing ring and a new TIE Fighter ring. If the couple wears one of each, they will surely be ready for a long engagement. Hopefully, not in space, with lasers.

The colors on the X-Wing version are pretty stunning. It reminds you to stay on target, even if you get cold feet. The TIE Fighter ring is symbolic of the long flight down the trench, chasing that X-Wing, only to crash and burn.

I kid. I kid. Marriage is cool. Almost as cool as these rings.

You’re going to wish you thought of this first after seeing the awesome gallery below.

Redditor hamburgersandwiches and his fiance got married last Saturday (so they’re husband and wife now) and have released to the universe some of the coolest and kookiest engagement photos ever.

They opted out of the usual poses and generic locations and chose to strike poses and reenact iconic scenes from some of the biggest movies of the century, including Back to the Future, Ghost (who can forget that pottery scene?), Top Gun, Spider-Man (yes, Spidey and Mary Jane’s upside-down kiss again), Indiana Jones, Titanic, and more.

You can check out the rest in the gallery below.

We wish hamburgersandwiches and his wife a lifetime of happiness–and may they have many sequels to come!

What do you get your fiancee when you are both Star Wars fans? Well, you could get her a boxed set of movies, but a steampunk AT-AT is an even better idea. Too bad it doesn’t actually spew smoke. That’s just some clever Photoshopping.

Broken Journalist made this awesome AT-AT to give to his fiance as an engagement present and thereby assaulted her cold Hoth heart. I’m sure her heart is fine, but it never hurts to present an amazing gift to the one you love.

It actually started out as a vintage AT-AT toy. I love the patina on this thing, which took a bunch of coats of paint to create. You gotta love that widow’s walk on top too.

This isn’t the first time we’ve see geek-themed engagement rings, and I’m fairly certain this won’t be the last either.

You might have heard all about Star Wars creator George Lucas’ engagement with his longtime girlfriend earlier this month. If you’ve been mulling about popping the big question yourself, then here’s one fun engagement ring option you can look into: this his and hers Star Wars ring set.

The rings are made and designed by Chelsea Swank. Aside from sterling silver, you can have the rings made from gold, platinum, and white gold, like the Death Star rings we showed you last week. You can also choose to have the rings adorned with a stone, like the ones you see above, or forego it if you prefer a simpler look.

Even if you’re not planning on getting married anytime soon, then you can use these as promise rings or as boyfriend-and-girlfriend rings even. Because yes, they’re too awesome to miss out, and they might no longer be in stock by the time you actually want to get hitched.

The following symbols are currently available for use on rings: the Jedi Symbol, Death Star, Rebel Alliance, Imperial Cog, and the Boba Fett Chest Symbol. If you have one in mind that’s not on the list, then you can hit Chelsea up with a message and who knows? She might just design your preferred symbol into a ring. Aside from that, you can also make a request to have the rings engraved with a special message.

The Star Wars rings in sterling silver go for $325(USD), the gold ones are priced at $1,050, the white gold ones retail for $1,250, and the platinum rings cost $3,000. Gemstones will set you back another $75 each – a bargain compared to building an actual Death Star.
