Halloween wedding
So this is a tad late, but I have to explain the awesomeness of my Halloween. Beth and Todd's Hallowedding (not my word, ok?) was the funnest wedding, and the funnest Halloween party ever! - and I include my own wedding here, which was amazing, but not as downright fun. - It was also a great chance to take pictures, as we were all SO much more decorative than normal wedding guests!
Beth, being crazy, bought a crapload of Halloween decorations, and in the end the Bancroft Hotel really did look like someone's (very nice) house decorated for Halloween. I helped carve pumpkins and decorate. Here's my spider pumpkin (Todd did the etching, but I poked the template into the pumpkin, for HOURS.)
I was Zombie Jesus and graymalkn was Zombie-hunter Pontius Pilate. He sewed both our costumes-that's a real toga, not a bedsheet, you ignorant goths-and did our make-up. A former coworker made my crown of thorns (blackberry). Yes, that's a real chainsaw. :-) Yes, I have stigmata, though they peeled off and itched! I also have real dirt on my tunic and a lot of fake blood in my hair, though you couldn't see it. A pretty comfortable outfit, though hot for dancing in, and not in a good way.
The ceremony was both serious and funny - free of false sentiment and genuinely moving, probably because Beth, Todd, and everyone else was so happy about it all! Also, a Batman ring-bearer and princess flower girl help.
Beth (and Todd) looked lovely. And, to top it off, they did Thriller as their first dance!
So, good on you guys. Happy marriage and all! :-)
