TwoDiablofans who began a relationship after meeting while playingDiablo 3decide to honor the Blizzard-helmed series by holding aDiablo-themed photoshoot for the wedding.
Given how long theDiablofranchise has been going for, it’s no surprise that the series holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers. After all, developer Blizzard is even holdingplenty of special eventsto honor the anniversary of the original game’s release. However, for two gamers in love, the third iteration of the series was the place where they first met, and they decided to honor this in a fantastic and unique way - by holding aDiablo-themed photoshoot for their wedding.
The couple in question, Alvin Lau and Alexis Loo, met throughDiablo 3, where they were playing as a Crusader and a Demon Hunter respectively. Getting married last year, there was only one way that Lau and Loo could hold their photoshoot. To aid with this dream, they brought inMezameto help with the shoot, while the Neo Tokyo Project assisted when it came to weapons and armor - as shown byKotaku.
The end result is stunning, although not without plenty of challenges. For starters, since the couple are from Singapore, it was difficult to find locations that matched the more European Gothic architecture seen in theDiablofranchise. To get around this, Mezame instead took photos of the couple separately, and then used shots from various different locations instead, travelling as far as Malaysia to get the perfect content. The final photoshoot is wonderful - as shown in the video below.

Although the photoshoot itself was very muchDiablo-themed, the actual wedding of the couple was not. However, that’s not surprising given how bulky the armor and weapons from the series are. Of course, given the number ofperfect gifts for Blizzard fansthat are available, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some of the wedding invitees celebrating the wedding with a thoughtful gift of their own.
This isn’t the only time that a beloved video game has played a part in a wedding, either.

Indeed, game developers themselves have agreed to help several gamers in love over the years, such asBioWare’s one-offMass Effectlevelor how Bungie helped with anin-gameDestinyengagement.
It seems as though Blizzard truly has a knack for making memorable games that gain a devoted following. The developer’s most recent franchise,Overwatch, looks almost certain to follow in the footsteps of the likes ofDiabloandWarcraft, particularly given the title’s status as themost profitable paid PC game of 2016. It’s already joinedDiabloin the world ofwedding-related content- let’s see how much further theOverwatchworld can go.
