It was love at first frag for gamers Desirai Labrada and John Henry. The couple, who met while playing “Halo 2” on-line, tied the knot last month at a special “Halo” themed ceremony according to MTV.

According to reports, the bride and groom wore traditional wedding apparel while the officiating officer at the ceremony wore the green armor and helmet of popular “Halo” character, Master Chief. The ceremony took place at the Orlando Science Center as part of Otronicon, the video game development festival held each year to promote Full Sail.

When Desirai was asked if she thought she would ever have a video game-themed wedding, she said, “No, not at all! But I’m happy that I am, because it says a lot about how I’m a kid on the inside, and I would always like to be that way. Life should be fun.”

Desirai lived in Brooklyn, New York. John was in Melbourne, Florida. They met in 2004 playing “Halo 2” online, formed a friendship, fell in love, and she relocated to Orlando and enrolled at Full Sail. She got the idea for a “Halo” wedding and floated it before he even proposed. He was into it. And Full Sail, which Desirai asked to host the wedding, found sponsors to supply the rings, the flowers and many other elements. On her wedding day, Desirai told MTV News that the couple didn’t have to pay for much of the ceremony themselves.

The day before the wedding, John and Desirai had stayed up playing “Halo 3.” In the game, they wore the ultra-rare Recon armor, which the “Halo” makers at Bungie Studios had bequeathed to them as a wedding gift.

The couple participated in a ceremony, being declared “teammates for life” and then conducted a variety of media interviews. They then went to a private reception where wedding favors were candles designed to look like the game’s purple “sticky” grenades. The couple also had a “Halo” cake for their wedding cake.
