Minecraft Themed Wedding

Matt and Asia are a cute couple that bonded over the popular game Minecraft. They built a house together in the digital world and have been inseparable ever since, both in the game and in real life. Matt even proposed to Asia up on stage at MineCon with the help of the game’s creators. So it was no surprise that Matt and Asia would plan a Minecraft themed wedding, and wow, did they ever.

They worked hard and put together an incredible event, which truly reflected their love for Minecraft, ahem, each other! In case you thought they blew a whole lot of money on a bunch of decorations that they would only use once – they didn’t. The decor came by way of the folks at MineCon, who were kind enough to lend them all of the props that they needed for their Minecraft themed love fest and to give them the Minecraft Jones Soda.
