Last week, two EVE Online players chose to share their life’s happiest moments with the community at EVE Fanfest in Reykjavik, Iceland, where they were joined in holy matrimony by the Space Pope.
Ryo “Dogura” Nozaki is a well-known player from Japan, who placed 7th in the Capcom Pro Tour global rankings in 2017 and took first place at Canada Cup 2017. He was also getting married last weekend, and during the wedding party, the happy couple set up a PlayStation and the groom took on a few challengers.
If you play games, you’ve thought about which voice actor you want to narrate your daily goings-on. For me, it’s GLaDOS. She’s reciting a fruit tart recipe. For Kotaku reader Chad Oliver, it’s The Stanley Parable’s Kevan Brighting, and he’s narrating his marriage proposal.

Josiahx was recently married, and decided to do something a little different for his wedding photo. Like turn the celebration into a zombie apocalypse story.
Today's Speak Up on Kotaku is incredibly short and even more sweet, as commenter batman4million ask for suggestions of video game music that won't aggro his guests at his wedding after party.
Kotaku reader Ben and his special someone Bethany were recently married in Indianapolis, and as you can probably tell by the fact I'm writing about this on the site, they didn't just have a normal wedding.
When reader Simon got married recently, he wanted there to be a little surprise for his new bride. So he and a few friends sat down, took a knife to the Scott Pilgrim game and ended up with this little clip which played after the ceremony.
