The Halo Wedding: More Pathetic Than the Second Life Divorce?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

These two appear harmless, right?

Nope. They are having a violent video game wedding, goddamn it....

SickInDeHead and Psycho Vandal, known as Desirai Labrada, 29, and John Henry, 26 on their birth certificates and to their two remaining life-form friends, are getting married after three years of, um, dating. Turns out they met online... while playing Halo. MTV has the scoop on these Florida kooks:

They played "Halo" as teammates. As they were falling in love, they tended to back each other up a lot, watching each other's back as lasers and grenades fell around them. And in an act of sacrifice only possible during a blossoming romance, Desirai agreed to take Dramamine so she could last through three-hour binges of campaign mode on "Halo 3" with John without getting motion sickness. 

Awww shitballs. Then there's the whole they-hadn't-even-met-yet thing. Oh yeah, it gets better:

" 'Wouldn't it be cool if people at my wedding could play games?' " Desirai remembered thinking. "I kept coming up with ideas of how I could bring 'Halo' into it."

No, it wouldn't, particularly since XBox doesn't have WiiSports or even Goldeneye, the only two games your guests will want to play. We wish them luck... and since it's the end of the day on Friday, we'll reserve further comment on these two lovebirds.

Via MTV.

Why are you unable to write about anything odd without calling it stupid? Does it threaten you in some way that these people enjoy their game? "Florida kooks?" You sound like Bill O'Reilly.
