He was a constant reminder that one can march out of time with the rest of the world, and still keep one's own tune.
If they're intent on humbling him, it's certainly succeeded. It's like watching Icarus floundering around in an IKEA kitchen...
I'm puzzled as to why Sheldon is agreeing to a ceremony at all. The character I know, would just skip all that spectacle and jump straight to the registry office to sign the documents. Logically speaking, none of it makes any sense. Why he's marrying her in the first place is out of character.
In "The Porkchop Indeterminacy" (S01E15), Sheldon tells Leonard that he's not good enough to date his sister:
Sheldon: So there is the possibility, however remote, that resting in her loins is the potential for another individual as remarkable as myself.
Leonard: Exactly. And, you owe it to yourself and to posterity to protect the genetic integrity of your sister’s future offspring.
Sheldon: You’re right. If someone wants to get at Missy’s fallopian tubes, they’ll have to go through me.
Later Sheldon tells Leonard that he's not genetically sound enough.
Sheldon: It’s nothing personal, I’d just prefer if my future niece or nephew didn’t become flatulent every time they eat an Eskimo pie.
Raj: Everybody knows genetic diversity produces the strongest offspring. Why not put a little mocha in the family latte.
Sheldon: In principle you have a point, but as a practical matter, need I remind you that it takes experimental pharmaceuticals to simply enable you to speak to the opposite sex.
Raj (waving finger at him): I think you’re focussing entirely too much on the drugs. (Finger keeps waving. Leonard has to reach out and stop it.)
Howard: Is it ‘cause I’m Jewish, ‘cause I’d kill my Rabbi with a porkchop to be with your sister.
Sheldon: This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do with the fact that you’re a tiny, tiny man who still lives with his mother.
Leonard: Sheldon, you are really being unreasonable.
Sheldon: Am I? Here. Eat this cheese without farting and you can sleep with my sister.
So why the hell why is Sheldon Cooper, marrying a woman with so many genetic flaws.
1. Webbed feet
2. Short-sighted
3. Pelvis problem she can't open her legs or something.
4. Dodgy feet (orthopedics)
5. Some uterus tilt thing.
6. Excessively hairy.
I'm sure there's others but she is not what he logically wanted...
