TiVo takes the cake at San Francisco wedding

Although we can't be certain if Andy and Tina Szeto attended a Wii marriage counseling session before tying the knot, the television crazed couple did invite a healthy helping of TiVo to join in their matrimonial celebration. Granted, they did stop short of rocking interactive wedding attire, but the two lovebirds did indeed have a pair of his and her TiVo cakes proudly perched beside the more traditional rendition, and to show its appreciation, TiVo actually donated a plethora of smiling plush dolls as party favors. Not to be sold short, the company also gave each member in attendance their own felt TiVo ears for maximum geekness all around, and created quite the marketing scene in the process. Hey, we've definitely seen worse cakes at a shindig before, so click on through for more pictures of the obsessive ceremony.

My first instinct would be to laugh and mock them.

But then I realize I'm just jealous cause there was no way in hell my wife would have let me get away with this.

Of course, pretty suspicious timing to do this right when the new "my Tivo gets me" campaign got underway...

That's definitely super-geeky, but I give them credit. If you are going to have a novelty-themed wedding, you have to go all out...and they went all out!

I'd like to know more about this. I've heard of couples getting their weddings sponsored by corporations who then advertise at the ceremony and reception. Is there any word that's what went on here? I'm automatically dubious that these two are so fond of Tivo that they had a Tivo themed wedding. Then again, I've never really understood such strong ties to any brand.

Not near as cool as my wedding cakes. My husband is a designer mac-addict, and I started building DOS boxes with my dad when I was 7. I had a windows flag for a cake, he had a mac apple, and we put a nice pink heart in between. I think the photos are somewhere on flickr.

Six comments and no one has said, "She looks way too hot for him!"? :P

[Gizmo @ May 15th 2007 7:46PM]

She's way too hot for him!

[violajack @ May 15th 2007 11:13PM]

Yup, those are our cakes. We didn't tell anyone before hand, so they just walked out and saw them. There was much laughter, but also a fair amount of confusion. People could figure out the windows and mac, but some didn't know what the heart meant. Too many guests work for Cisco or Sun or had to ask where the linux penguin was. They were all yummy.

haha dude, that girl must be a gold digger.

[Richard Lai @ May 16th 2007 12:55PM]

I wonder which channel they watch when making love?

[Andy Szeto @ May 21st 2007 6:49PM]

Hi All,

I'm actually Andy, the guy in this picture and yes, Tina is too hot for me. But in all honesty, we love our Tivo and this was a TV themed wedding (our table were all named after our favorite TV shows). We were able to find a baker to make our Tivo wedding cakes and we were going to leave it at that. However one of Tina's bridesmaids emailed Tivo and told them about our cakes. Tivo contacted us and graciously asked if they could give us antennas and plush toys for all our guests. We said sure and they delivered them to our reception a couple of days before. They've been really great to us and we feel good about allowing them to use our wedding photos. So I wouldn't classify our wedding as sponsored by a coporation, but we definitely did benefit from Tivo's generosity. All of our guests loved the cakes and the plush toys and we all had a really great time.

You go Andy! You're a hottie too! I just wished I thought of that idea first. =) Hope you have a wonderful life together!
