Their traditional families took a little coaxing, but embraced the idea and full costumes like pros. Grab some brains, rattle some chains, and get to ogling this Halloween zombie wedding at the Profile Event Center in Minneapolis.

This geeky superhero Halloween wedding wins the internet today

A knife handle sticking out of a dripping superhero wedding cake: this encapsulates the feel of this geeky, spooky, zombiefied, spider-webbed, goth glam superhero Halloween wedding in Illinois. It all started with the decision to include mac and cheese, costumes (natch!), and a giant party into the night.

Sugar skulls, succulents, and lanterns abound at this Dia de los Muertos wedding (with bonus GROOT CAKE!)

Arlene and Jared have always wanted to get married in the fall as it’s their perfect weather in Northern California. They’re also fully into all things Halloween, their Mexican culture, Dia de los Muertos, and sugar skulls, so this theme was a no-brainer. They chose a restaurant with authentic and fresh Mexican food and decor, Milagros Cantina, which meant decorating was far easier. But a few skulls, lanterns, terracotta pots, and succulents made an appearance. Jared’s brother Rian helped out by hiring a few of his music students to be our string quartet for the ceremony. Let’s peek at this Dia de los Muertos wedding in Redwood City, California.

The costuming at this Halloween wedding is professional-level and makes it RAD to see. Don’t miss the Aquaman/mermaid combo, the bride’s gorgeous black and white corset dress, the Halloween-themed cakes and catering, the eyeball bouquet, Ming the Officiant, and oh so much more awesome costume fun. This one is a must-see.
