You’ll freak over this rainbow wedding dress

My rainbow dress was DIY: I bought a cheap Mori Lee dress & a strip of rainbow organza off eBay, then I cut bits I didn’t like off — and sewed then the rainbow under the lace.

Try to survive this haunted castle wedding without dying of love

Reema loves skulls and Derek is a hard core Chiver (Bill Murray fan). They decided to take their show on the road to a haunted castle in Ireland. Reema custom-designed her skull wedding ring and coffin ring box, created her own earrings and necklace, and even her wedding dress was custom designed to match her goth tendencies. The music reflected their rock and metal tastes with some “Stairway To Heaven” and a choir version of “Nothing Else Matters.” Add in some Dr. Seuss, a handfasting, and a rose ceremony, and you’ve topped off this skulls meets Bill Murray haunted castle wedding.
