The above picture was sent to me by GPF readers Jeremy and Teresa the other day. Accompanying the pic, Jeremy wrote:

BTW, I don’t know if I sent this to you last summer, but I meant to. My wife and I had a Nick & Ki figure made for our wedding “cake topper” in July, 2006. We had Nick’s hair done blonde to match mine, and I thought it looked great.

And it does. Another fine example of Lanin Thomasma’s excellent handiwork. If you haven’t seen his awesome GPF sculptures, then you need to go give them a look. Lanin has crafted a good dozen (or more) GPF and non-GPF maquettes for me personally, some of which have accompanied me to shows & cons. I don’t really want to turn this post into an advertisement, but these sculptures are so incredible it’s hard not to.

As for the statue in question, Nick looks a little odd to me as a blond, but it definitely fits with the rest of their wedding photos. (Jeremy was gracious enough to share them with me.) I hope you two have an awesome future together. I certainly hope nobody at your wedding was kidnapped by any “evil twins” from alternate universes….

(Random trivia: The “cake topper” for our wedding was Mickey & Minnie Mouse, since we were going to Disney World for our honeymoon. While Nick & Ki existed at that point and I knew they were eventually destined to be married, nobody outside of a circle of close friends and family had read the GPF scripts yet and I certainly didn’t know of anyone that could make custom maquettes for us. Oh, well….)
