Here’s another interesting story from Douglas Karr about a couple that met while chasin’ and fraggin’ each other on the various Halo maps online.
Desirai and John (aka SickNdehead and psychovandal) met on the battle fields shortly after Halo 2 was released. Talking incessantly over Xbox-Live led to an exchange of phone numbers to coordinate playing times, which led to spending more time on the phone than in the game. They started officially dating in March 2005 despite having never met, and that summer Desirai moved down to Florida, where she had both a new school and a boyfriend waiting. John proposed on their three year anniversary, earlier this year.
It makes sense to me, although it seems like most of the time I end up playing with immature, 12-year old sailors that just bust out the cheats and make playing online a less than heavenly experience.
Desirai and John aren’t going to Gen Con crazy with the wedding though. Desirai will be wearing a normal, white wedding dress. From the images and information on their website though, they’re really making the Halo motif a classy addition to the decor for this special day.
They’ve done some really cool designs for various items of their wedding, given the "ring" in Halo, I’d be very interested in seeing what their rings are going to look like, but I couldn’t find anything on their flickr page.
