My Big Par’mach Klingon Wedding
Well, the Assassin’s Creed III trailer may have been a metaphorical kick to the balls, but England can take solace in that it can finally cross “have a Klingon wedding” off its bucket list. Star Trek-loving Swedes Jossie Sockertopp and Sonnie Gustavsson had a Klingon ceremony at the Destination Star Trek London event, complete with a pleasantly game officiant. It’s all very cute. Still, England, you call us when you have your first Klingon divorce — that’s where the real entertainment is at.
